New ASICS MC shoe ....

Anyone seen the new ASICS Gel Foundation Plus II??? This looks like a quantum improvement over the last 3 Foundation models (the first of which I bought - like wearing a slab of concrete) and I have to say it's just what MC wearers have been waiting for, 'cos the Evolution is a seriously chunky shoe and far too heavy. This looks like a LIGHT motion control shoe, it must be a direct competitor to Saucony's Stabil, but a damn sight better looking. Anyone else seen it?? Seems to have come out in the same release as the Nimbus VII/Cumulus VII

Have you seen the new Stabil MC5?
Look here!
Would like to try it actually, I took the Regulate out for a spin but it was far too rigid for me and didn't offer enough arch support .... sort of put me off a bit. The shop in Bradford where I tried them were less than helpful I remember. I must make the effort to track down a Stabil and give it a chance.
I'm not necessarily plugging ASICS, but this new shoe looks good and I'm dying to try it. I bought the Evolution and the Koji before it, and then the original Foundation before that, so I do have some experience of ASICS MC shoes. I think the market is wide open for the the company that comes up with an MC shoe that doesn't look like a brick and has a bit of lightness to it, perhaps that's why your Stabil does so well. This new Foundation Plus 2 could be a competitor methinks.
Please ASICS, make sure you do it in 2E widths!! The only place I have found it thus far is on the U.S. Road Runner Sports website, www.roadrunnersports.com. Doubtless it will be months before it hits us in the UK.
Apologies for not being able to create a new thread to ask this (don't know if it has something to do with the fact I just registered).
I was looking to buy some Asics Quantum 360 CH (Red/Green) and I found this website: streamofsound dot co dot uk (not sure if on this forum we can post links).
The pricing on 67 pounds would at first indicate a scammer, but given that this is an "old" discontinued model, it would be OK.
So I just wanted to know if anyone know this site, or if you guys have any tips to check if it is too risky to try buying from them.
I sent an e-mail last week through their contact tool and so far they didn't respond - I asked about the authenticity of the shoes.
Thanks in advance :smile:

It looks like this indeed can be some fake/replica website.
