New Balance 890 vs. NB 825 - 833

bump

The 890 is much lighter than the predecessors, but it's also softer so in my opinion it doesn't FEEL quite as fast as the 825 did. Still, it's a great option in the performance neutral category.

Great to hear this review, although the 833 is a favourite that I fear will never be replaced

Any other successors in the 833/825/890 series? I GUESS I could consider other brands...

You could also try the RC 1400. It's a little less shoe than the 825 but still offers a good amount of cushioning and support. The 890V2 out now is closer to the 825 series. It's lighter and has a lower heel than the 890V1.

I have the 890 right now. I ran in the original 826 then did the cycle and went back to the 825 and up. Had to move to the 901 up to the 904.

I don't really like the 890. It feels bigger and sloppier than its predecessors. I don't know what is different, but I am not super happy with them.
