The VX Carbon is back in stock - 4,000 km wear-tested, 42% energy return
248g · 10mm drop · 640 km midsole life
The shoe that absorbs your training block. A 32mm stack of compression-moulded EVA blended with 18% supercritical foam holds 96% of its out-of-box rebound at 640 km - the point where most trainers have lost a fifth of theirs.
A 10mm drop and a broad 112mm forefoot platform make it forgiving on easy days and stable at the end of a long run, when form goes first. Outsole rubber is 2.4mm of carbon-blend across the full wear zone, not just the heel crash pad.

I rotate the Meridian through every easy day of a marathon block and measured the rebound myself at 640 km - still within 4% of new. The 10mm drop is forgiving at the end of a 35k when my form starts to fall apart.
Twelve weeks of heavy cleans and box jumps and the waistband has never rolled once. Compression still holds at the calf after about forty washes, which is more than I can say for the pair I replaced.
Wore the Stormline through the back half of a 100k in horizontal rain and stayed dry under it. Docking one star because the hood is cut tight over a cap - size up if you run in a visor.
I ran the Pulse against my chest strap for six weeks of track sessions. Average gap was around 2 bpm even on 400m repeats, and being able to pull raw FIT files without paying a subscription sealed it.
