Will there be Speedstar 4 for Fall 09?
The 3 came out 6/1/08, so it's due for a new model.
Any word on this?

If the lifecycle of Asics trainers is 18 months, then maybe so. Probably little more than cosmetic changes, as with the previous two updates.
a bit more than cosmetic changes thru the first 3 speedstar incarnations..
the 2 is slightly more narrow in the forefoot and slightly more firm than the 1 and the outsole pattern was different (tho it was still the duo-sole) plus it's not that ugly yellow
the 3's outsole is totally different, no duo sole any more and the 3 is ~1 oz. heavier than the 2
I think the Speedstar 2 was the best version. 1 was good, but a bit heavier than the 2 and the 3 to me is a totally differen't shoe altogether. I find it bulky, rigid and less cushionioning than both the 1 and 2.
Personally, I think the Speedstar has gone in the wrong direction and it is now played out.
The Speedstar 3 has actually got me wearing Nikes now, that is how dissapointed in that shoe I am.
They lost me after the speedstar 3. It was heavier and no longer seemed like a lightweight trainer to me, but that could be because I tried the adizero cs and fell in love with it.
Completely agree with all these posts. The 2 was the best. I still use the 3 but it has gone downhill. I'd love to have the 3 back.
