Not as comfortable. These are more lifestyle shoes while Hokas and UB are high quality running shoes.
where's the humor?

No. It's a lifestyle/fashion sneaker.
I have these, some 990v6, 9060 etc alongside my running shoes. They're not "uncomfortable" but don't expect a cloud like experience. Among those, the 990v6 with the Fuel Cell is probably the most comfortable but even then, the Fuel Cell formulation used is nothing like the ones found in the Rebel for example. Still on the firm end.
Here's a good review of them.

The softness measures at 33 HA. Most running shoes are ~ 20. Soft ones like the Nimbus are around 15. UBER soft shoes like NB More V5 are closer to 10 and sometimes below. Hoka run the gamut but nowhere near 33 HA.
Bought the 2002r and it's better.
Bought the 2002r and it's better. Plenty models on sale for 89-99 bucks in footlocker.
