  Hi, I have a pair and so far I've done a 5k recovery run and a 12 miler in them.
  
  I would say I like them, there was something strangely satisfactory about them but I'm not blown away. 
  
  The upper is comfortable and thin but strong. They are nice and light, but I feel the neck is slightly small making them annoying to put on, and I found a little way into my 12 miler that I become slightly concerned that they were not on tightly enough (but they stayed on), I also only did a single knot and the laces stayed done up (a major bugbear of mine for the boost)
  
  The remember the feeling when I switched to boost foam and it was a real milestone moment for cushioning and my legs suddenly didn't hurt as much on a run, the padding on the nike is no where near this, it is satisfactory, but with all the PR noise nike was making I guess my expectation was set too high, but for the lightness I guess it is good.
  
  I did find a mid foot pain about 8 mile in, but that might just have been general run pain, I'm going to do a bit of science with some ultraboosts I have and see if it is just me, or the shoe.
  
  So I would say a 3.5 stars out of 5, if the durability is what they say it is then I'll move that to 4 but i cannot give it that yet.  It was not the milestone moment of the boosts or the drop dead o'h my god what a shoe!' of the vapor 4%ers
  
  Now if they could merge the claimed durability of the react with the 4%ers that would be quite a shoe
  
  hope that helps

  Thanks for your comment. I have done a proper run in them yet, few jogs to work that is only a couple of hundred meters but they do feel quite nice. Going to test them out in the next few days and see what they are like
