Good!

New Balance 922 New Balance is a budget-friendly daily trainer from the FuelCell family. It's a value-oriented shoe that shines at tempo paces. But if you wish to go easy, it's comfortable enough too. Although claimed to go the distance, experts say otherwise. They recommend staying within distances of 5k and below. If you wish to run farther and faster, consider the NB Rebel v2.
