Highly recommended for beginners. The Hydrogen Run 8's FLASHLITE midsole is ultra-light and soft, with the 18mm/26mm low-profile platform providing clear ground feel — ideal for runners just starting out. At ~200g per shoe, there's virtually no burden, and the NT$1,980 price tag makes it the most painless entry point. Great for daily jogs, walking, and light exercise.
