Does anyone have any feedback on these shoes?
They aren't the Zoom Elite 5. They're simply an update of the Zoom Elite. They aren't anywhere close to the same shoe. The 4 had Zoom Air in the heel and forefoot, while the new Zoom Elite only offers it in the forefoot. It does have a special memory foam type insole that forms to your foot. The Zoom Elite 4 also had a firmer midsole with a dual density medial post. The new Zoom Elite is a cushlon midsole with no post. They offer mild stability and are firmer and more responsive than most of the lunar midsole shoes.
thanks for the info, have you tried them out yet?
Yep, I got a pair last week. I've run in them about 5 times. I like them quite a bit so far, although it's a bit different to be back in a regular trainer. I'd been doing most of my running in Lunar Racers. No problems with them right out of the box. I think that they are definitely wider in the midfoot than the Zoom Elite 4. I have really narrow feet and had to really cinch them up.They probably don't fit as well as the Zoom Elite 4, but are a bit lower profile and a bit lighter.
The new Elite has no Lunar foam. I think they fit a feel pretty good they a little bulkier then I like for a light weight trainer. I do feel it is a improvement over the Lunar Elite.
So, to anyone whose run in these...What shoe would you say is similar to the Elite?

it is a good design of shoes,it is combined with the Nike air max shoes and Shox! the upper come from Shox,the sole come from Nike air max shoes,the upper is much more attractive and the sole is much strong and big bounce!

I don't know what this person is talking about. The Elites are nothing like the Air Max or Shox. Looks like they're trying to get you to click on their link to buy Air Max shoes from their site.
On that note, I've ran in the Elite a few more times and I like them more and more. More responsive that the lunar midsoles,although maybe a bit heavier. I'd venture to say that they're a bit wider in the forefoot than a lot of Nike trainers.
Airmaxking is a spammer and doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Has anyone legit ran in these shoes yet?
I have been extremely happy in this shoe. I've put in about 100 miles on them and to me they feel like a throwback to the skylons and haywards from a couple years ago. Theyre nice and soft for the roads yet responsive enough for a quick paced (5:40s) long run. Overall a slam dunk!
I used them for 8 repeat 200's today and was surprised how light they were. I was able to hit all of them in 28-30 sec, which I was only able to do in flats before today
Does it feel like a lot/too much of shoe? Ive been doing a lot of running in frees lately and I am looking for a little more support and cushioning.
when you first put on the shoe it feels like there's a lot there, but it feels very light when you actually start running
I had difficulty with the aggressive arch support. I have fairly high arches and run in neutral shoes, but the arch support in these was too much. It felt like there was something sticking up where your arch begins toward the rear of the foot. This may just be something particular to my feet, but I've never had that with any other neutral shoes. I could feel it just standing in them. Anyone else have difficulty with the arch support in these?

Same exact feeling here, and I have a medium arch.
Remove a couple of spikes from each shoe .
