aonijie is legit quality stuff in ultratrail realm. 
heck this year they go big by being pack partner sponsor for the utmb. 

i have not used their pack yet (as i have salomon adv skin12), but besides socks n z-poles, aonijie run belts are quality.

I've got some Pace Beams on the way. Have experience with a few other carbon shoes (ASICS Magic Speed 3, Puma Deviate Nitro 2, Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2) so will be interesting to compare. Current favourite uptempo training shoes (the Deviate Nitros) have worn out and I haven't been able to find a good sale on new ones so thought I'd experiment this time around.

Initial impressions:

• sizing is true-to-size and equivalent with my Puma Deviate Nitros I am a size 9.5US/43EU/270CN and went for the same in the OneMix Pace Beams, fit is perfect
• initial feel is good, but quite bouncy. The bounciness feels better at higher speeds (say, 4:00/km and faster) - these will most likely be an uptempo training session / 5-10k race shoes for me
• pink/orange colourway looks excellent
