Which is better, Peak Taiji 1.0 or 2.0? How is the breathability of Peak Taiji 2.0?

The Peak Taiji series is a pair of shoes that many people pay attention to. There are two types of Peak Taiji: 1.0 and 2.0. There are some differences between Peak Taiji 1.0 and 2.0. Peak 2.0 has made a lot of upgrades on the configuration of Peak 1.0.

Peak 2.0 is better.

Peak 1.0 is too heavy. The main reason is that the sole is too thick and the material density is too high. The UB sole is also thick, but the upper is lightweight and well made. The shoe shape is not very friendly to my thin feet and high instep. The forefoot is too empty, the shoe mouth and the socks are too tight, and the socks lack elasticity compared to Adidas. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by shoe size. The lining of the shoe is rough. Wearing thin socks or shorter socks will make the heel and the front of the ankle very uncomfortable. The force is very severe when running, and there is a deep sense of powerlessness. The whole person sinks down. Basically, you don’t need to consider this shoe for running. There are several large holes in the front, but I don’t think it has good heat dissipation. The main problem is uneven heat dissipation. The toes feel quite cool, and other parts feel stuffy because the material is not breathable. In addition, the socks are too tight, which makes the ventilation worse. Taiji 2.0 has a medium-low thickness of 2.5cm, which is similar to UB19. The volume of 451225mm³ ensures better resilience. The super large TPU on the sole plays a role in torsion resistance and propulsion. The roller skating lacing method is indeed convenient and has a stronger wrapping effect (previously common in road cycling shoes), but the price may be relatively high. The oversized TPU on both sides is still to deal with the previous instability of Taiji. Compared with the previous Taiji 1.0, Peak 2.0 has in-depth exchanges with shoe fans, listened to various opinions, and continuously polished Taiji products. But I am curious about one thing. The previous 1.0 was positioned as a running shoe, and I wonder what the 2.0 is positioned as?

Peak Taiji 2.0 is particularly breathable! The partitioned woven upper has small breathable holes, threaded one-piece weave, hot-melt PP strips, stable and tough wrapping, and a stable upgraded heel wrapping style. The heel wrapping TPU design is built with a three-dimensional structure to increase the heel wrapping area, the hard rubber on the back of the palm is widened and extended, and the anti-rollover upgrade provides a strong and stable support experience and safety protection!

This time, Peak Taiji 2.0 has 5 major functional improvements, including thicker midsole, wider sole, portable wearing design, etc. The first is the much-watched midsole technology, this time the thickness reaches 25.5mm. The second is the widening of the midsole, and the lengthening of the TPU tray to prevent inversion of the foot during exercise. The pulley-style wearing design is convenient for wearing and adjusting the tightness. As for the color, there are 6 color options, purple is eye-catching, white is simple, black is classic, and pink is fresh. Peak has now issued a pre-sale link on the platform. If you are interested, you may wish to go and have a look.

How is Peak Taiji 2.0?

The configuration of the Peak Taiji 2.0 running shoes is quite good. First of all, the upper is made of soft elastic fabric, which is quite breathable. In addition, the Peak Taiji 2.0 uses its new disruptive technology, which can achieve adaptive shock absorption and rebound according to different sports states, and the foot feel is still very comfortable! Although some netizens commented that this new color scheme is ugly, it is undeniable that the renewal effect and foot feel of this Peak Taiji 2.0 are really good! And the price of this launch is also relatively reasonable. The editor has bought one before, and the size is just right.
