As you run,

the knit upper

expands with your

foot to keep you

comfortable and

minimize hot spots.

The midsole’s

polyurethane

comes from the

same company

that BMW uses

to cushion its

dashboards.

Adidas Ultra Boost

Uncaged

BEST FOR

Gunning for a new PR

The Boost’s highly cushioned

soles are so responsive that

you’ll swear they’re spring-

loaded. The slight rise in the toe-

box helps propel you forward

naturally, and the stretchy, sock-

like upper remains sturdy and

supportive after many miles.

Roka

Phantom

BEST FOR

Bossing any race

Most sports shades

look out of place when

you slow down. Wear

them to a barbecue

and you might as well

show up in a singlet.

But Roka’s new aviators

change all that. They

feature durable Zeiss

lenses and a nose pad

that sticks better the

more you sweat. All you

need now is a wing-

man. $275, roka.co

Apple Watch

Nike+

BEST FOR

Alphas seeking more

Built-in GPS, water

resistance, and a new

partnership with Nike

make the Apple Watch,

at long last, a serious

contender in the fitness

watch arena. Apple’s

fun OS and Activity

app (compatible with

Strava, Nike+ Run

Club, and others) give

this one an edge over

its limited competitors.
