I had the opportunity to be the first runner to try the TOPO ATMOS before it was officially released in Thailand. Just taking those first few steps, I already knew I liked this shoe.

TOPO ATMOS is a supportive shoe with a thick cushioning sole, the latest from the brand.
Designed for beginner runners, heavier runners, slower-paced runners, and those looking for an easy, comfortable running shoe, as well as runners who prefer a soft feel. TOPO ATMOS is definitely worth trying.

GAME-CHANGING COMFORT
This is the slogan the brand uses to describe the ATMOS model. Let's take a look at its key features.
The brand highlights 3 main features:
1. Recycled Upper Material: We are increasingly seeing brands prioritize the environment, and as consumers, it feels good to use such products—but they also need to perform well. The upper is comfortable and provides a good fit across the instep, similar to other models. The heel counter structure is also strong and securely holds the heel in place, preventing the foot from slipping while running and making the foot feel like one with the shoe.
2. Insole: It uses the same insole found in other TOPO models. Personally, I like its thick, soft feel. It features an Ortholite license, which does a better job than standard insoles at reducing odors and bacterial growth.
3. Zipfoam: This is the midsole found in every TOPO model. They all share the same name, but the chemical composition and thickness vary by model. This means the foam's characteristics feel different when running, and the Zipfoam in the TOPO ATMOS model perfectly matches my preferences.
Outsole: Rubber is strategically placed only where it makes contact with the road to reduce weight as much as possible. As for durability, I think TOPO's synthetic rubber is fairly average for road shoes—it doesn't wear down so quickly that it's disappointing, but it's not exceptionally durable either.
Its grip on wet roads is quite good. It rained all over Bangkok the day I tested it, and I felt confident with every step.
