Defyance 2 vs Defyance (Read 473 times)

I have both the original Green Defyance and a couple of pairs of Defyance 2's.  Except for the color I find very little differance between them and have been very happy with the newer version.  I surprisingly miss the green color in the original one's.  I did not like the color when I bought them but they kind of grew on me.  The newer one's seem boring in comparision. 

I have both Ghost and Defyance I's, and I prefer the Defyance. Don't get me wrong, the Ghost is fine, a little lighter too.

 

The Ghost wears too much in the forefoot just beneath my meta-tarsals though. There is too much gap between the segments of rubber there.

 

I am about to retire both Ghost and Defyance. Earlier in the year, I bought 2 more pair of Defyance before they were gone. One pair I put about 60+ miles on, and stuck 'em under the bed for when I retire the present ones. The other pair are new and sitting beside them.

 

I recently purchased the new Launch, and they are superior to both. So now I have 2 new pair of Defyance I's,

and 1 pair of the Launch to rotate. I wanted to try the new Defyance II's and Ghosts II's, but with the release of the Launch, I see myself ordering them when these 3 are retired.

 

So to answer your question, I'd order the Defyance II's and a pair of Launch.
