Smack in the middle of the time period we shall now refer to as The Last Weekend In April (Penn Relays), The First Weekend In May (Broad Street).....a plethora of amazing shoes hit the market, and simultaneously our online screen (phone, tablet, or computer) and store walls. Formerly known as the AltraFWD Experience, the Altra Experience Flow remains a cushioned daily running shoe that pairs a low drop with a rocker geometry for an effortless feel. The well–cushioned midsole features a compression–molded EVA foam that delivers a soft and lively underfoot sensation with every step. The launch colorways are elite too. Neutral whites, browns, and a few blues for the Villanova Knicks Nation out there. My motto.....break in on Day 1.....the calendar day before your first run (casual wear to get a feel for the shoe and how it'll react to your feet, ankles, shins, Achilles, etcetera). Day 2.....on your feet, out the door, hit the road (or treadmill). Can't wait (Bart Scott's voice and vibe)!!!!!
