How do you know the turbo is being replaced by the "Tempo Next%"? Any pictures of this shoe?
I am annoyed, as the turbo 2 still cost £159.99 in the UK ($205). I can get 10% discount at nike but they will still be £144... and now apparently they are being discontinued anyway.
I feel like we get absolutely shafted in the UK.

So Brexit.
I like both Turbos, especially the 2s, but they really do not last. I've never had a shoe feel so flat after so few miles. And I'm the kind of guy that normally tries to get close to 1000 miles out of my shoes (I got close to 2000 out of a pair of the original Adidas Energy Boosts, until the eyelets were all ripped and it was impossible to lace them). After 250 miles or so, the Turbos feel like they just compress too easily with each step. Sort of like you're stepping on a really thin piece of furniture cushion foam. In a way, it's worse than when EVA dies, because then you can at least feel that you're not getting any cushioning and modify your footstrike accordingly. I feel like the Turbos trick you into thinking that you're going to get a nice soft landing, but instead you just bottom out and hit the ground hard.
Disagree. The Turbos, both the 1s and 2s, have been one of the most durable trainers I've ever worn. It's like the outsole hardly wears down, and the midsole stays soft. I can easily get 800-1000 miles out of a pair while running over 100 miles per wk.It's been a great winter shoe and what I want to grab most for easy runs in the cold cause it's soft, light, and comfortable.
Naw, 800 dude is right. Especially in the toe area. After about 300k they are dead and can feel everything. The heel area is still soft but I don't heel strike.
400, 500kms they suck. Okay for walking. Sort of. Gen 1 was better for walking.
I love the Turbo 1 and somewhat love the Turbo 2. This, I'm not sure about.
I got 600 miles out of my pair and I could have got more but I didn't want to risk anything.
