Men's Paradigm 7

The ghillie lacing really does lock my midfoot down without pinching, which I didn't expect from such a plush shoe. Wore them straight out of the box for an easy 4-miler and had zero break-in issues. The cushioning is soft but still feels like it's guiding each step straight ahead.

Ran my usual 5-mile loop in these and the cushioning felt plush without turning mushy. The support kicks in just enough to keep my stride straight when my legs get tired. Lightweight too, barely noticed them.
