I mean, I'll literally run in any colour, but this is lush. If I didn't already have a pair... Thankfully, the SC Trainer V3 is due in a similar colour. Nice.

Curious why you are interested in sc trainer over super blast. I have SC trainer and am curious about super blast. I don’t hate SCT, but it’s a bit firm, due to closeness of plate to the foot. A bit on the heavier side. But the widespread obsession with super blast has me curious.
