Kiprun Kipride Max
Kiprun Kipride Max: building consensus — a public grade is not available yet; synthesized so far from 3 reviews across 2 creators, freshest review Jul 31, 2026.
TL;DR
The Kiprun Kipride Max is a legitimately standout max-cushion trainer that delivers exceptional softness, generous stack height, and surprising bounce at a price that punches above its weight ($160 suggested retail). Reviewers across multiple channels rank it among the best in its category. If you want a plush, comfortable daily trainer for easy miles and long runs and don't need a fast shoe, this is an easy recommend. But if you prefer a firmer, more responsive ride for speedwork, look elsewhere.

What reviewers said
- Reviewers consistently praise the Kiprun Kipride Max for its outstanding softness — one store reviewer calls it the softest shoe they carry — combined with a noticeable bounce and rebound that help it feel livelier than a purely plush shoe.
- The Run Testers describe it as a generously stacked cushion shoe that's very comfortable with a nice rebound, and one ranks it near the top of their max-cushion shoe list, calling it one of the best cushion shoes when considering performance and price.
- Another tester notes that it stood out as a big star in a larger Decathlon lineup.
- While the shoe is praised for its comfort, it is not a speed-oriented shoe.
- One reviewer on The Run Testers explicitly preferred a faster model (the Asics Metaspeed Sky Edge Tokyo) over the Kipride Max when given a choice, noting a personal preference for fast shoes.

“The Kip Run Kip Ride Max is right around there.”

The Run Testers
“There is the new Kipron Kipride Max, which is available now in the UK. It might come too late for this marathon season in the US, but it is available now in the UK and Europe I think in February at some point anyway. And that's another really generously stacked cushion shoe that's very comfortable, but has a nice rebound to it.”

The Run Testers
“This is the new Kip Run Kipride Max. It's a max cushion daily trainer with a heavy focus on comfort, but more than a few tricks up its sleeve.”

“That puts it in the same pricing bracket as the likes of the Asics Novablast 6, Puma Deviate Nitro, and the Kiprun Kipride Max”

“the Kiprun Kipride Max. A shoe we got in a fairly recently for our bumper Decathlon Kiprun video and it really stood out as one of the big stars of the lineup.”

The Run Testers
“Kiprun Kipride Max. Versus the Asics Metaspeed Sky Edge Tokyo. I would I like fast shoes, so I'm going to go for the Asics.”

Run Moore
“New to the wall, it is the softest shoe that we carry here in the store. Like I can say that very confidently, the Kiprun Kipride Max is our softest shoe. It also has a little bit of bounce to it. Like you could almost talk me into thinking that this could be a $200 shoe, but it's $160.”
