I still have two pairs of Adidas Adizero Adios 8 which are my happy shoes. I feel that will not be updating and I will be picking up Takumi Sen 10 when it's time for new runners. Thanks Mr. Midsole!
Very interesting, I tried on the Adizero SL and I am now an Adidas fan. I love how it always have massive discounts, the quality and duarability is great, and it delivers more than Nike. So can't believe I am saying this, but Adidas might be better than Nike!
I agree with you. The adidas lightstrike is really the best. New balance foam is too soft and drops out. I find this to be the case for a lot of running shoes. Cushioned shoes are on the way out.
@@EDDBUD Thanks keeping my eye on the Boston 12. Waiting for a sale. By the way the Y-3 Takumi Sen 10 are $350 in the states and the only Takumi Sen 10 available on their website/app.
Great video Edd, not sure the Sen 10 is a direct comparison tot he Vaporfly 3, would say that Adios Pro 3 is but that's just me. Those adidas uppers don't work for me unfortunately, they end up rubbing the toes on my right foot quite badly!
@EDDBUD ok, just place my order 👍. Long time Edd Bud fan here. Tq for all the informative videos and humor. I really like your content, I never missed.
Having the sen 9 i cant see me wearing them out to need the sen 10. I use them on track only really although i may try them in a 5k soon. I think the pro 3 is superior in every way but the sen 9 do increase cadence a bit and are really light.
I am thinking about to buy it but a) i have the 9 and he is still very good and b) the price is not really sexy. If you take the price and buy a Asics Metaspeed Sky / Edge you will get maybe much more than a 5-10 or may 21km running shoe.
I will never understand why Adidas did not turn the "normal" Adios what the Takumi Sen has become since version 8. Would make more sense to me to have the Adios Pro 3 as the marathon racer shoes and the Adios 9 like a faster 10k/21k racer shoes. And the Takimi would have kept its lower stack height and would gain the LEP system instead of the rods. The Adios and Adios Pro would sell much more, in my opinion...
Great video. My preference for shoes is bounce. What would be the shoe you like with the most bounce. Of my current shoes, the Nike Invincible v1 is my most bouncy. Haven't tried the v3. Interested in people's thoughts.
@paulmulks thanks. FYI I have asics nimbus 25 an find them soft but not responsive The NB 1080 v13 I find are both soft Nd a little bouncy but not quite like the Nike's
@@willvm4059 They were just some suggestions off the top of my head. I'd say it probably wouldn't hurt to go to your local running store and just try a few different pairs on and see what feels good and go from there. Running is very subjective so what works for me might not work for you and so on. I hope you find something that works, give the invincible v3's a shot if you can grab a pair on the cheap 👍🏻
Isn't Takumi 8-9-10 direct competition & most similar to Nike Streakfly? Well 3 versions of Takumi in last years and still Streakfly 1 😁 so it's obviously visible which one is still the best 💪😁 Would like to try Takumi's but still sticking to Streakfly 👍🙂
I'm never really sure how I'd get on with the low stack of the Sen? I normally like a good amount of cushion under my feet as I suffer with shin issues
The Sen is a race dragon and can be used for 440 yard intervals. The Boston is for daily training, so they have their own uses. I have hundreds of miles on my Sen 8s and literally no wear on the Continental rubber
@@macewindex564 I think the Sen is too narrow of a shoe for daily training. I think it would feel awkward at slower speed. My current rotation is the Sen for speed days and the Rebel V3 and a couple Puma shoes for daily training.
@@RunTommy123 well being narrow is just your foot shape. Edd said it's good for daily runs. i have the sen 8 and love it but i can't do easy runs in them, so wondering if sen 10 is different
350 US, ahhhh, I'll have to wait and see some proof that it's faster than the best Saucony, and/or more fun than the best Asics before I pay Adidas that much.
What’s the upper like? I picked up the Sen 9 and found it really rigid - it blisters my broken little toe that sits higher so badly. Would I be alright in the Sen 10 as I believe the upper has changed? Good vid
Absolutely loved the Takumi Sen 8 (favourite shoe I've ever run in) but unfortunately started to give me light issues around the ankle after 200k or so. I assume this is likely to happen in the TS10 too?
@@EDDBUD Sorry completely missed this. I'm not entirely sure as I didn't see anyone regarding it (as it never stopped me from running) but tendons/ligaments feeling a bit sore when running in them. Although I was in high mileage training for a marathon at that point.
@@EDDBUD I'm afraid they may be too narrow because I have a wider foot. Can you recommend me something similar in construction to the Devate Nitro 2 but the shoe should be faster and good for race tempo :)
Agreed, I picked it up for about £46 in the Black Friday sale last year and it's a great non-plated, minimal speed shoe. I've used in for hill sessions, intervals, in and outs and track work (up to about 18km / 90 mins per session) and it's been great. Well worth the money.
Edd-where can I pick these up in this colorway? They are not on the adidas site til March and not in the US. I think they may retail around 180ish USD but not sure. Only place I saw then was at END in London and not even sure places like sports direct etc. are selling them yet. Using my pro 3's for longer races and love the fit so wanted to try these out for shorter races. Thx
I may get them from end - essentially they are the same price as the states (that include tax which end doesn't ) and have a few 10k's/5k's coming up. I love that colorway that you have!
I cannot seem to find the takumi sen 10 on the adidas website I can only find the Y-3 version and it’s really expensive does anyone know where I can buy it?
I want to replace my Nike Tempo % as a tempo shoe but not sure what to get. Been looking at Endorphin Speed 3 or Prime x Strung. Any recommendations would be welcomed greatly!
@@FatUglySadMan Get yourself some more Tempo's buddy. I'm surprised Nike hasn't knocked out a Tempo v2. I had a pair like yourself but didn't really use them so ended up flogging them on
Would you say the TS10 (& previous versions) are a similar fit to the previous Vaporfly? I know the latest Vaporfly has a big lump in the forefoot upper, maybe it's genuine camel hair! 🐫
Maybe similar in fit. The Sen is a glove where the VF next% was similar. Not so much the v2. Made to measure. ( as long as you have on hand on the back )
No interest or any chance any of these shoes will be on my feet.. There are a couple of shoes that look interesting in this year's selection but not these..
Thanks for the comparison review. I have the Takumi Sen 8, and i use it for all speed sessions. Great shoe.

Not many discounts here in the uk now. They used to even let you use codes on brand new models!
I did a run on my Boston 12s this morning and was so astonished from the beauty of Adidas Shoes… but if i buy another pair… i get problems at home 😂
I know that feeling! 😂
Me too!
History tells me that you definitely love your takumi sen’s, good for you.
Yes they always seem to work for me
Always enjoy watching your videos, thank you. Just one inquiry, is it possible to add a photo of the CD / album cover when you review your songs? 🙂
Yeah I mean to but forget sometimes.
Hi everyone .Interesting comparison. Like from Spain. Cheers.
Thanks for watching!

The Boston 12 is a good shoe to mention here. It’s got a nice forgiving yet dense feel. Really consistent to run on.

Can recommend the Boston 12s, very good Trainer for Speed but also slower runs. It‘s fun to run in and they are suuuuper resilient
Just to be clear, Lightstrike Pro is amazing... Lightstrike is dead af 😂
@@DreTheChronic lightstrike 2.0 is fine for use in the Boston 12

Takumi 10 if I buy I might need to sleep outside 😂😂
Edd my Man. Came here because the Takumi Sen 10 is now on 30%+20% sale. Should I get it at this price now? VF3 is only max 20% off.
The Sen 10 is a top trainer and racer. Maybe not enough for a marathon. But we are only doing those here and there!
@EDDBUD ok, just place my order 👍. Long time Edd Bud fan here. Tq for all the informative videos and humor. I really like your content, I never missed.
There are some funny A-Team references on Ted, the new TV show prequel to the Ted movies. Worth watching.

Yeah the 8/9/10 are similar but that’s a good thing. Just subtle improvements.

Hi Edd!
Is takumi sen 10 the same in sizing with 9 and 8?
Thank youu!
I found it about the same. Perhaps now it’s a touch longer in the sen 10.
