NOBULL has launched the Journey 2, a new daily running shoe built for comfort rather than race-day speed. In its blog post, the brand describes the Journey 2 as a comfort-first shoe made for everyday movement. It is designed for roads, tracks, turf and sidewalks, which makes it more of an all-round daily trainer than a specialist racing shoe.
The Journey 2 is built around a simple idea: not every run is about chasing a personal best, and not every runner wants a plated shoe with an aggressive ride. NOBULL says it is designed for people who run, walk or switch between both during the same session.
Comfort sits at the centre of the updated design, with a plush engineered knit upper, a soft internal forefoot bootie and an EVA Strobel footbed. According to NOBULL, the shoe should be comfortable from the first wear without needing a break-in period.
Support around the foot has also been reworked through a sculpted midsole that cradles it and raised sidewalls that add lateral stability through each stride. A 6mm heel-to-toe drop is intended to encourage a more natural stride without forcing the foot into a specific movement pattern.
Compared with the first Journey shoe, NOBULL says the new version has a more stable platform and a softer ride. The brand has also removed the plate, making the Journey 2 more approachable for daily miles and walks.
A multi-surface outsole gives the shoe grip across different terrain, with rubber placed in high-wear areas to improve durability without adding unnecessary weight.
The Journey 2 is available now for $150 in nine colourways. Options include Classic White, Jet Black and Pear, along with several men’s-specific colours such as Night Navy Light Grey and Molten.
NOBULL may be known more for training shoes, but the Journey 2 shows the brand pushing further into running with a shoe made for ordinary miles, not just race-day efforts.
