Runner's World is a highly-respected monthly magazine, with 18 international editions, dedicated to the "science and joy of running" having grown from its humble origins in the United States in the 1960s.

The "361-Sensation", which retails at US$120, is a high-mileage trainer, and has been designed to be moderately cushioned and stable whilst also fully responsive, due to the incorporation of a proprietary midsole compound. Testers of the shoe have been impressed by its high end performance at a moderate price, being agile and light, despite being robust.
