Niu Sanfeng
He liked running since his school days, but didn't understand concepts like pace or distance. Every day, he would run from home to school and back. This intermittent running lasted for several years. Last year, friends introduced him to a running group: Xi'an Codoon Official Running Group. That's how he got connected with Codoon! Later, he formed his own running group (Runners Without Borders), which has now become the top local running group in Xi'an and the first Codoon officially certified running group in Shaanxi. Codoon remains their preferred running app.
He discovered Bmai on Codoon and was attracted by its design and concept. Coincidentally, Codoon Gear Party was conducting a review activity, and he was lucky to be one of the 50 people selected nationwide for the review. He was very grateful to Codoon, Codoon Gear Party, and Bmai!
After submitting the information, he anxiously waited. While others received their shoes, he was told that some of them would have to wait until after the New Year because the courier was on holiday. He was disappointed. The next day, the group leader informed them that they had communicated with SF Express, who agreed to work overtime so they could receive their shoes before the New Year. He was thrilled and gave a thumbs up to Codoon and SF Express!
The next day, he received the shoes. The entire packaging was wrapped in sturdy bubble wrap to protect the shoes from external damage. The simple yet luxurious shoe box design was solid and thoughtful.
Appearance
When he saw the shoes, he felt that the designer used bold colors. The bright purple with pink laces immediately caught his eye. The colors were stunning, with a fluorescent green sole and a blue-pink camouflage pattern between the sole and the shoe body, making it look lively and durable.
Overall Shoe
The Bmai logo was clearly printed on the tongue, which felt very soft and snug when worn. The thick laces tightened easily and didn't loosen. The upper was made of jacquard mesh to enhance breathability and improve comfort at the repeatedly bent toe area. The toe cap used 3D molding technology to protect the toes, making it comfortable and warm in winter. However, the reflective material on the upper was not very effective and needed improvement.
The heel provided protective support for the ankle, and the fit was very snug. The reflective material at the heel also offered safety assurance, but its reflective effect was average and needed enhancement. The insole had the production date and shoe size printed on it, with neat stitching around, showing great attention to detail.
The color combination of the sole was also excellent, with good anti-slip properties. It had transverse subdivisions for lasting grip and to disperse localized pressure from the ground.
Testing
On the day he received the shoes, he couldn't wait to run 10 kilometers. After running, there were no signs of new shoes causing blisters or discomfort. With a pace of 6 minutes, he felt quite good!
For the second test, he made a simple modification by changing the original pink laces, which he found too flashy, to fluorescent green ones. After putting them on, he felt like a wild horse, running a half marathon effortlessly without feeling breathless or sweating! Haha!
The third test was after the New Year. He had gained three pounds from overeating during the holidays. Despite the light rain, he ran 10 kilometers in the stadium, feeling exhausted with a pace of 4 minutes and 45 seconds.
Summary
These are very professional running shoes with a high cost-performance ratio among domestic brands. They are very suitable and practical for general runners. However, there are some minor flaws. The durability is not very good; after running a total of 50 kilometers, the sole was already worn out. Also, the reflective strips on the shoe body were not very noticeable and needed improvement.
For exercise, use Codoon!
Bmai, enjoy every kilometer!
Best wishes to Codoon and Bmai, may you both continue to thrive!
