Same drop, different sole. Does the 80 have a rockplate? The RunningWarehouse infomercial was less than helpful other than showing the shoe itself.

Not near what Hoka is, but still a little bit higher then any other 8mm cushioned trainers (guide 5, ride 5…).

There is a small amount of mesh there that is supposed to stretch.

Nothing on an update to the shoe yet, probably has not been out long enough.

I don’t have the MR20 v2, but the 20 series seems to be sold in more of a department store type setting or big box sporting goods stores.

They did see my post on the sole delamination and indicated that it should not have happened – they sent me another pair and took mine back to look at them. Not sure if the issue has been addressed.

I was skeptical about the MR10v2 at first, but the more I find out about it, the more I’m looking forward to it. I just hope that it will be based on the same NL-1 last as the original. The NL-1 last seems to have a wider midfoot than the NL-0 last that was used for the Minimus Road Zero, which was narrow for a lot of people. I can wear the MR10 in the standard D width, but I take the Minimus Road Zero in the 2E width.

I get the impression from the video that New Balance was disappointed by how the original MR10 sold. That doesn’t surprise as I think the problem was that the shoe was way too minimal for traditional shoe adherents tentatively taking small steps to transitioning to “less shoe” and not nearly minimal enough for the strict hardcore minimalists. I thought it struck the perfect balance for me since I discovered it about a year ago and may have been a little ahead – or behind – of its time. I hope this new update gets more love. New Balance could benefit from doing a better job of marketing its products to the mainstream masses who may have no idea who Anton Krupicka is.
