With the new year just around the corner, we’ve had the chance to preview some of the models running shoe brands are rolling out in 2023. Based on the sneak peeks at The Running Event, the coming year promises to bring a pack of smooth-rolling shoes that combine the latest materials and designs to deliver versatile, comfortable, and speedy rides for every runner’s needs and preferences.
Here are a few models that we’re most excited about training and racing in so far.
