Battle of Titans: Hoka Cielo X1 vs Adidas Prime X2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- I simply want to share with you a few reasons I believe the Hoka Cielo X1 is better than the Prime X2 Strung. Before you disagree with me, watch the video first. I also make this statement acknowledging that Adidas' Prime X2 Strung is one of my favourite running shoes and the most used running shoe in 2023.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Keep making videos, bro. It's nice to get an example of a more casual approach for more casual and novice runners
You got it! We are not slowing down over here! Thank you
Bro is so smart, nice and kind, that I personally stopped by to say this.. Thank you very much, sir.. Please continue doing these valuable "updates". Peace and love.. 🙏🙏🙏
@@skybiz4520 yes sir! I’m on it, cheers!
I’ve discovered you because of Kofuzi and he did so well to introduce you. Your videos are great, playful and fun, offering different approach and point of view, which are needed for us to build a final overall view of the shoes. Keep doing, you’re great 👍
Oh wow. This is big… the man is literally one of my favourite TH-camrs and I would love to one day meet him. Which video did he mention me on? That’s crazy!
When you came out in that suit and started talking all “proper” - 😂😂😂
You’re really giving the people what they want with this video, sir! Great comparison - as usual.
What do you mean proper? That’s how I normally talk 😂😂😂😂. Thank you for feedback my man! Much appreciated
Very nice review-THANK YOU!!
Very interesting that you mention that they are equal at cushion and propulsion.
I own the prime x 2 and I love it.
Now you make me want to buy the Cielo x too!!
It’s an amazing shoe for sure and one that I’m definitely going to put on a pedestal 😂😂😂
As always, I love you Aubrey.
Yyyaaayyyy Jackie always a pleasant surprise reading one of your comments. Thank you so much
I truly enjoy your video, Sir. Not everyone watch TH-cam shoe review are elite runner. Your video are so informative in which I can rely on as a very average 50 years old runner myself. Keep up the good work, Sir. Ignore those keyboard warrior.
I’m humbled, thank you for this sir… truly appreciated! It means a lot to me to get such feedback.
that first bit about the comment was comedy gold 😂. another solid content. cheers mate!
Making the most of the negativity
Keep doing your THING my brah brah!!
Let’s go, cheers! Will do!
I love your review. Maybe the most genuine I have seen. I will be back to watch more!
Comments like this 🥰🥰🥰
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! Keep up the good work.
I’d love to hear your views on this! Which shoe?
@@AubreyRunning I tried on the Cielo X1 and my first reaction was wow this feels a lot like the prime X strung. Since I own both version 1 and 2 of the PXS I didn’t feel like I could justify adding the Cielo.
@@stforte1852 this is tough for me to say but yeah… there comes a time when we have to say “I have enough Shoes”. I know it’s rare when we have to say it but once in a lifetime at least we will need to 😂😂🙂😂
We are who we are Aubrey, keep doing your thing brotha it’s all good
Thank you very much and absolutely, no slowing down over here
Youre the godamn man, Aubrey. I love your style.
Cheers from a fan, all the way from Australia 🦘
Thank you so much for such kind words. Added much colour to my day. Thank you
Great review, keep them coming !!
Thank you so much… let’s keep it going. Cheers🙂
Thank you and kudos from Belize. Let me say thank you for your time. Some people are simply harsh with comments. Trust me I am a referee so I understand how you feel. Good thing we can laugh it off.
Yep… I used to just ignore and laugh it but I have realised it’s a wasted content idea, so now I’ve decided to use this negativity for good.
Yeah I fully get what you mean being a referee. You guys get all sorts of abuse.
i love your unbiased opinions about each shoe and thats what i also noticed with your other videos, is that you choose a specific shoe according to your opinion rather than leaving it to us to decide. Keep up the great content! New runner and a new subscriber here :D
Thank you so much… welcome to the channel, I truly appreciate the support. This kind of feedback means a lot to me.
Just wanted to say that the production values and quality of your videos are awesome. I’m looking at doing some shoe tubing as there isn’t a lot out there really but the quality of your video’s are humbling
Go for it! Honestly, don’t think too much about it, get started and give it a go! We will cheer you on!
@@AubreyRunning thanks man 🙌 I appreciate it and the subscription 😊
I love every video of yours!!!! Keep shooting!!!!I am also from the heavy side of runners and your reviews are more suitable for me than any other youtuber runner. I would like to see a comparison between Cielo and Alphafly 3!!!🙏
Thank you.
Thank you, I will definitely keep it going. Sadly I don’t have the AF3 but check out Fordy Runs, he just shared a comparison yesterday
I love your videos. Keep being you.
Thank you so much, truly appreciate that and cheers for the encouragement
As always, great video.
I appreciate that! Means a lot
Great video and hilarious! Also, don't give a hater some recognition. Ignore em and continue doing you!
I always thought that because but I’ve realised some of them actually do have good feedback whilst others like this guy give you content ideas. 😂😂😂
Don’t listen to haters, you are doing a great job !
Please keep the same positivism and energy.
Always! I absolutely agree and I will definitely keep things the same. Only that I have to listen to the haters because some of them do have good feedback and the rest give me ideas for videos like this one! It’s a win win situation… I appreciate the support! Thank you so much for the encouragement
The head-to-head comparison I just needed!! Glad and excited to see another honest review from one of my favorite runners out there!! More power to your channel, Aubrey 🤩🥳
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so mouth for these kind words. It still sounds crazy to hear such words. I’m very grateful and will keep at at it! Thank you
that reaction to the comment reminded me to hit that subscribe button which I hadn’t done after watching a few videos. Carry on, man
Let’s go!!!! Thank you so much !!!
Hopefully we can see the matchup between Adios Pro Evo 1 vs. Alphafly 3 very soon! 👀
The day I receive any of those shoes I will literally lose my mind. I don’t think I will be buying them though… just too expensive. But maybe one day the brands will know who I am and may send them out to me.
I have a cielo x1 and I’m definitely for it.
Once you have them firmed down and tie a double knot, it will not budge. Furthermore I have taken this shoe for many long runs and they are awesome… no pressure points from the laces.
Love the Cielos!
Let’s go!!! It’s a good shoe for sure and I’m glad that you love them
Both mega! Love the prime x2 and it will last forever I’ve got over 155 miles in mine and still look and feel like new! Cielo for the race day for me, prime x2 training day shoe! 🔥🔥🔥
Prime X2 Strung is my go shoe! The Cielo is trying to disrupt a perfectly good relationship 😂😂😂
Hello i love your videos. Practical and dow to earth tackling which is important for non elite runners. Thanks
Let’s go!!! Thank you very much and I’m sincerely enjoying the process
but you are🤣🤣🤣🤣 and we all love it😍💥
this is not colonoscopy, it’s shoe rew🤣 and you are making it interesting and funny with lot of good sugestions and info’s 🙌
so keep the goofball🤩
Aubrey Goofball is here to stay!
@@AubreyRunning yes sir!🙌
“Sport apparatus” LMAO!!!!!
Pure gold!
😂😂😂 the guy wanted me to be a little more serious. So I’m being a little more serious
The usual superb video Aubrey, I'd go for the Hoka out of these 2, I have just put my Prime X Strung V.1 up for sale as I just can't get on with them. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the new Ascis Meta Speed Paris though and keep on doing what you're doing, it's refreshing!
PX2 is so much better than PX1, I had blistering on arches for PX1, none for PX2
I sincerely hope ASICS send them my way sir! I love the look of them as well and the reviewers are speaking highly of them.
The prime x2 sir is where it’s at!
@@LiveLongLiveHappyI think it’s a matter of running style and fit. I LOVE my PXS1 I even went out recently bought a second pair. I have the PXS2 as well but they are crazy stiff. Takes time getting used to them but the PXS1 is my all time favourite. I really feel like Hoka tried to copy it which is fine. I’ll try on the Hoka but don’t see myself purchasing them. Race legal or not, I’m not going to podium any time soon.
I like your style man. Could you have a heavy weight partener cause i think heavy weight runners like myself would use the shoe differently. Thanks
Gotcha, I’m on it
amazing videos man! I have the Prime X2 and there is some rubbing on the heel that is kinda annoying, does that happens to you?
I love the prime x2 strung and it’s easily my favorite half marathon shoes. I’ve not had such an experience no. That’s a shame for sure
@@AubreyRunning yeah! The rubbing is very very mild but without it willl be the perfect shoe for me! I have and tried all the Saucony line and by far adidas boston 12 and prime x2 are the best thing I have!!!
How'd you find the X1 in red? I've only seen the blue. I love the X2 Strung, looking forward to trying the Hoka sometime.
It was gifted to me by Hoka but should be available now widely
new subscriber here! keep it up! 👊🏻
Thank you for joining me, cheers!
Great entertainer 🤣 Honest review
I appreciate that sir… life is too short to take yourself too seriously
The prediction value of this review is amazing! Also the look in the camera! ❤ damn bro!
Let’s go! Thank you so much for the support! It means everything to hear such feedback after the work I put into it. Cheers
Brilliant response. 😂
You have leverage on this. Laugh and move on.
Dude you are awesome, wish I knew you in real life!
I appreciate that… if you are based in the UK or ever come round this way… it would be great to do a running event together
Just discovered your reviews and they're refreshing, including the self-actualized joking! :) As a side note, I think the fact you acknowledge that the lacing system of the Cielo X1 is ACTUALLY good in practice despite what every reviewer has said really sets you apart in a good way.
Thank you so much, very kind feedback. Yeah I kinda always respect everyone’s reviews and opinion but my job on this channel is to give you my honest and FELT experience regardless of who else said what! Cheers for recognising that, I truly appreciate it
Love your video's especially as a bigger runner....
Let’s go! Thank you so much for that. I love this feedback. Being relatable is a key attribute I’ve based this channel on
Well Mr “ goofball” inadvertently conceded 2 things,your videos have entertainment value ( at the very minimum)even to his liking and he’s the one that takes himself too seriously,you’re not .I think wardrobe change and presentation clearly says you CAN be that but choose not to.Thus the reason “Aubrey” comes before “ running” in the channel name.I’d bet he watched it till the end🤭🤭…Mission accomplished,even to the sceptic….runners,gotta love them,keep ‘em coming sir👊🏽
Thank you for this! I’m loving reading your comments lately. Not just because they are kind and encouraging… but there is practical sense in what you say and I appreciate that. Thank you so much.
I respectfully disagree from heavier runners who enjoy them for long runs mostly for mostly the cushioning and feel of shoes ty for your input one love god bless
I always enjoy a great debate. One that showcases different perspectives as we all have something valuable to bring. Thank you both.
Great vid man👌 I just got the cielo x1 in the same colourway, any chance you could give more info on the socks you wore with them in the vid?
The socks are from ON Running. They were gifted to me so I’m not really sure, but have a look at their website
I’ve run 8 marathons ( including 4 in 5 weeks) in the OG Prime X and 2 marathons in the Prime X Strung V1 and had no DOMS afterwards, no ankle issues and no stability problems.
Enjoy your fun approach, not serious like a lot of other run channels! 👍
Long live the PX2 bro!!!! I may even get another one
i may try the cielo 1x after my prime x strung 2 have hit their end of life but that might not be for awhile lol.
The PX2S is an amazing shoe. I don’t see mine going out soon but also loving the new colours they have released
Great review. I ran with adidas and I really liked it, but it's really heavy. Hoka is my next purchase
Fair enough and I assure none of these shoes are a bad choice.
Agree with the points made. The midsoles feel quite similar for me as well. One benefit the prime X2 has is that I find it has slightly more cushioning compared to cielo x1 especially on longer runs. Still amazing that hoka made a legal shoe that almost feels like a 50mm stack height shoe. The foam nearer to the midfoot of the cielo x1 actually has almost 50mm of stack height.
You are spot on! Love this and could t agree more
All bidness! 😂 Pity us regular runners can't podium... in the Prime X (so fun tho)
Speak for yourself my man… I’m out here starting with elites when I get back to full recovery 😂😂😂😂
@@AubreyRunning start with them all you like! 😂
@@craigrwc next year… finish within 10 minutes of them 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂. Keep making your videos! I love my Cielo X1’s.
Thanks, will do! Cheers for the support and encouragement
Great video. Great review. Lot of fun, too. I was with you till your peonunciation of adidas.
JUST KIDDING! Right back at you. OK. You make fun shoe videos? We will try to join in with you and have fun, too. Might even put on a suit, too. JUST KIDDING! NO SUITS!
Heheheheh it’s you guys that need to learn how to pronounce words 😂😂😂. Had fun with the Believe In The Run guys about accents and pronunciations 😂😂
Some lacing systems plus the amount of upper material equal to make us need some time to be ready to go running with the shoes. I got one pair of shoes that is a bit complicated ( and I use the last lace holes too ,for better lockdown) to lace and unlace them every time, but the shoes are awesome for me : ON Cloud Stratus 3 .
I hear you, sincerely I do but I feel like we should also be able to make time to get it right considering potential juries if you don’t.
I’ve found that all my Hoka shoes have worn down rapidly.
I have 2 pairs of Prime X OG and a pair of Prime X Strung v1. I wear UK size 9.5.
On picking up the 0:46 Cielo X it feels the same weight or even slightly heavier than my Prime X’s. Of course l don’t have the heavier PXS2! 👍
PX2 is THE truth!!!
these shoes are fantastic for heavier runners if looking for a all around shoes id get either both are amazing shoes hands down one love enjoy your run turn that knob be safe God bless and give Aubrey a shout out and subscribe the best out there.
Respectfully, there's research & plenty of evidence that says otherwise - easy to find all over the place. These are niche specialty shoes and not how you characterized them, 'all around shoes', the makers of the shoes will tell you that. They're made for elite runners and absolutely not 'heavier runners'. They're also made for race day and certain specific type of training, not daily running. In my opinion, if your BMI exceeds 25, you probably should not be running in them at all. There's a downside to carbon plated shoes, people are suffering all sorts of injuries from their use and there are elite runners, physical therapist, podiatrist and coaches that advise not using them at all, ever. It's not all upside and skilled, talented runners abandon these types of shoes all the time. Notice when Aubrey talks about these shoes, he's careful to always do it in the context of race day & specific type of training runs - not daily use. The problem happening everywhere is people are using them as daily trainers - which is ill advised - by the makers of the shoes themselves...
I always enjoy a great debate. One that showcases different perspectives as we all have something valuable to bring. Thank you both.
I wouldn't take him seriously if he rides Aprilia bikes either mate 🤣
😂😂😂 had to google them. It’s sad things like this happen but you just have to laugh and move on. But now I have anew use for such comments
@@AubreyRunning You handled it perfectly 🤣👌🏻
@@paulmulks now actually looking forward to another one
You nailed it bro ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you very much, will keep it going
You are amazing man 😂😂😂😂😂
Very grateful for such feedback!
Awsome vid young sir.
Much appreciate sir, thank you
Be honest… were you wearing suit trousers? 😅
😂😂😂😂😂 joggers. It was the “working from home on zoom” look
Greetings from Ukraine! Man you are so positive! Thanks a lot. It`s hard time here in Ukraine and thx for your good mood. You made me smile
I wish you joy and happiness especially with everything you’re going through 🙏
I think the Hoka is better cause the cut is lateral, so the foam may fonction as a medial post
That’s what I love about running, we all fit and feel different in these shoes!
always❤
Let’s go!!!
Aubrey that dude lives in his mom’s basement at 35 and eats pizza rolls while he trolls the internet.
That said, you clean up well my guy. That suit was 🔥
What people don’t realise is that TH-camrs are also people outside of the TH-cam gig and you wouldn’t step up to someone as say that to their face without knowing them but somehow feel comfortable doing it here!
As for the suit, believe it or not this is how dress for work but yeah, Aubrey Goofball I shall remain to some 😂😂😂
Llooool I love it, that guy is the true goofball 😅
You have to just laugh and make use of such negativity
since I’m not going to podium..,
but I will compete for my age group, if I’m feeling it, all shoes are legal .., 😂 😮😎🤔
😂😂😂 yep… I’m with you. And also… when I’m fully recovered… tell Kipchoge to watch out!
Hahaha great video!
Thank you very much! I had fun making this one!
Nice
Thank you so much
Dude. Pls dont mind the trolls 🤣
Its inevitable on the internet.
They are needed for progression too, let’s go!
I know somebody that wears a 9.5 😉😉
😂😂😂😂 I see you
u cooked him champ 🤣
Just turning a lot of negativity into something worth watching, some valuable and also an opportunity to teach kindness to some. He was very unfair to call me names but we turned it around and used his approach for good outcomes
Be Kind ❤
Always, in a world where you can be anything, first and always be kind, you lose nothing but give so much!
I guess that guy just needs to skip the video instead of leaving negative energy.. SERIOUSLY 🧐
Personally I like the Cielo upper swag a little bit better 😎
Yeah, but it’s ok we simply move on. Normally I just ignore people like him but I have realised that as a creator I can make use of such people and add value to the video
@@AubreyRunning and believe me sir, you are very creative! Your content keeps getting better 👍 keep it up 🙏
@@Juliussen2670 thank you ssoooo much
Timestamp your videos
Ok, I normally let TH-cam automatically do it because I try to streamline my process. But yes, good suggestion
😎😂😂 top man
Let’s go… thank you so much.
🤣🤣 Great response haha
Bought the Prime x2 strung after your review. Wasn't sure on them at first but after about 20km I think I prefer them over the Superblast
One of the greatest shoes ever made!
I apparently need to get more serious so I did 😂😂😂
Hahaha
You just have to laugh and move on
