Brooks Revel 7
Brooks' $100 entry-level trainer with a knit upper that doubles as a gym and casual shoe. Fine for beginners and light mileage where value matters more than ride quality. Serious mileage runners will outgrow its basic foam quickly. Released July 2024 (RoadTrailRun review Jul 21, 2024).
