Your review is so accurate, thanks. I completed 3 runs in mine. Biggest issue were blisters!! Im trying to resolve the issue. It could be socks or just my feet adpating to the shoes.
Thanks so much! @ZaahirJappie. I appreciate the compliments. Yeah I hope you’re able to suss out the problem. I’ve been using @Injinji socks but I know some people have aversions toe socks. But they’ve been great. Thanks again
Just got mine today at 80 buck with neon green colour! Already in love with this shoes. Lightweight and quite comfortable. I went to half a size up & glad I did.
@@ZaahirJappie the outsole is showing its age but looks like It could go for 800 easily, maybe 999. the upper is holding up pretty good, no tears or holes of any kind. And the midsole still feels great
@@ZaahirJappie well, for me it has never been a firm shoe, maybe because my previous shoe was an Asics Raiden 3 (cheapest model sold here in Brazil). However the midsole does soften a little after the first 50-100 Km. It doesn't completely change but it gets a little softer
Ive ran in the Supernova 2, takumi sen 8, Aidos pro 3, and Boston 10 and enjoy all of them i reach more for the boston and supernova but look forward to getting these on my feet later this week.
Bought my first pair of proper Adidas running shoes, the Adizero Adios 8, and found it was good for speed intervals as advertised, but was also surprisingly comfortable on the half marathon training run I did this morning! Wasn’t considering using it for racing but may end up choosing it over my ON Cloudboom Echos even
The Takumi Sen 8/9 are by far my favorite. Looking forward to trying these and the Boston 12. Also, big fan of the Adios 8 as a Takumi daily, but the Takumi takes the cake.
@@ZaahirJappie it’s super light, snappy, stable and it’s firm (but still someone soft 😂) The shoe takes some breaking in, but it lasts FOREVER. It’s considered a race day shoe, but my pair had about 500 miles on it and you can’t really tell. I’m not light either @205lbs
@@jefejeffwell1113 I am not used to Adidas, hence me trying the adizero sl. Quite a cushioned shoe. Firm when compared to fresh foam x of new balance. Trying new brands is good for my running experience
Although boost (found in the Supernova 2 X Parley) is really popular, it’s a fairly older midsole foam dating back to 2007. It’s used in a lot of their shoes and has a good amount of cred. However, Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro are much more modern midsole foams, not to mention Lightstrike Pro is found in Adidas’ modern racing shoes. All that being said, I would still choose the SL over the Supernova 2 X Parley. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much! Glad you appreciated the video. I’ll keep that one in mind. So far, other than Brooks shoes, I have to purchase any shoes with my own money so I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks again.
Maybe everyone once in a while. I’d say a good range for these is 10 or less miles. Even less than 15 miles is a hypothetically good range. Anything over 15 miles and I feel like you’re getting out of a true daily trainer category range-which means I feel like you could get better use out of a more maximal shoe. I hope that helps
Absolutely-these would work great! They comfortable, stable, and have a good ability to pick up paces if you want to. Otherwise great as a daily trainer. I would pick the Brooks Ghost Max’s over the Glycerins personally because of the difference in the drop. And the rocker geometry in the ghost max is much better and conducive to helping you through your strides.
So much boils down to a) personal preference or b) anatomy. I tried the Novablast 3 and didn't like it at all because it felt like my feet were too wide for the midsole cushioning. Felt like I'm slipping off at the side. The Adizero SL works perfectly for me. And I like the firm cushioning because I'm a heavier runner and a foam that's too soft doesn't work for me. It's a good thing we have all those great shoes to choose from. My favourites right now are: Adidas Ultraboost 22, Adizero SL and Brooks Ghost Max (almost a bit too high stack however).
I typically don’t like adidas but I just picked these up a few weeks ago for $25. I couldn’t pass it up and so far they’re pretty good, not incredible or anything but they will definitely get the job done.
The ADIZERO SL will be closer to what you currently have currently. So if you want more-of-the-same, with some nice updates then the SL would be a good choice. However, the Boston 12 goes fully in the direction of Marathon both for the training block as well as the race itself. It’s got energy rods, so significant for propulsion. It has a more aggressive setup as well, compared to the ADIZERO SL. It’ll be great in any race for that matter. So if you’ve been wanting a racing shoe but have been apprehensive until now this could be a really good time to consider it. Hope that helps!
I’d say if you can find the ADIZERO SL discounted I would buy them. The materials on the SL are a better choice overall. If cannot find the ADIZERO SLs discounted then I’d go with the Duramo Speed. Hope that helps!
Novablast killer i doubt , mine have 1210 miles on them and still great( thats my mark 1s). But i do want a pair of these because the only way to find out if a shoe is for you is to buy a pair and run a few hundred miles in them. I have novablasts 1 2 and 3 all have over 600 miles on them , they last incredibly well and have NO break in period. Also Adidas pro 3s are amazing but i only have 210 miles mine ( and a new set for when theyre shagged 😂) . Happy running everyone 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
@@timetorunchannelmy adizeros where so unusably hard I removed some of the heel rubber to lower the PSI , it's worked but it won't be a distance shoe for me . I guess we are all different 😁😁
I’m a big fan of version 4 of the Novablast. But when I reviewed this shoe I only had v3 so it’s more of a criticism of v3. V3 was, in my opinion, much too comfortable, to a fault making it too squishy, almost feeling dead. V4 is a significant improvement.

@timetorunchannel pleasure man! Keep it up. I tried powder today with some Vaseline and a normal dress sock. Seemed much better, but I only ran 7km.
Just got mine today at 80 buck with neon green colour! Already in love with this shoes. Lightweight and quite comfortable. I went to half a size up & glad I did.
That’s awesome!! Glad to hear it! Such a great shoe!
I'm 500Km into this shoe and never got a rock stuck in the outsole, I love this shoe
Right on. That’s great to know!
That's just what I wanted to hear....500km!! How's it holding up thus far and how far do u think it can still go?
@@ZaahirJappie the outsole is showing its age but looks like It could go for 800 easily, maybe 999. the upper is holding up pretty good, no tears or holes of any kind.

That sounds like a great plan! Let us know what you decide after your race
The Takumi Sen 8/9 are by far my favorite. Looking forward to trying these and the Boston 12. Also, big fan of the Adios 8 as a Takumi daily, but the Takumi takes the cake.
That’s great! I def need to try the Tekumi Sen and Boston as well.
What makes the Takumi so good?

Thanks a lot for this great review, would you recommend this over the Brooks Glycerin 20 for a slow heavy runner? Thanks!

What a chad!!! Literally just placed an order aftwr watching this video. $61… worth it???
Haha, Absolutely! I love this shoe. It's def a favorite of mine for 2023. I hope you like it as much as I have
@@timetorunchannel beauty!! Cant wait for it to arrive! Thanks bro. Much love to the channel
Nice review, although I think the Novablast is a way more comfortable shoe. The SL (IMHO) feels like I'm running on wood.
So much boils down to a) personal preference or b) anatomy. I tried the Novablast 3 and didn't like it at all because it felt like my feet were too wide for the midsole cushioning. Felt like I'm slipping off at the side.

@MrSeedi76 the Adidas SL 2 should be coming out soon. That is going to have full-length Lightstrike Pro midsole. Can't wait to try that.
I typically don’t like adidas but I just picked these up a few weeks ago for $25. I couldn’t pass it up and so far they’re pretty good, not incredible or anything but they will definitely get the job done.
So awesome! Such good discounts going on right now!
Is it good for flat feet?
I've been running using supernova 2 for 200Km and I usually doing 5k and 10k, I'd like to buy new pair which one is better adizero SL or boston 12 ?
The ADIZERO SL will be closer to what you currently have currently.
So if you want more-of-the-same, with some nice updates then the SL would be a good choice.
However, the Boston 12 goes fully in the direction of Marathon both for the training block as well as the race itself. It’s got energy rods, so significant for propulsion. It has a more aggressive setup as well, compared to the ADIZERO SL. It’ll be great in any race for that matter.
So if you’ve been wanting a racing shoe but have been apprehensive until now this could be a really good time to consider it. Hope that helps!
thanks for the deep explanation, I really appreciate it
Adizero Adios 4’s, SL 20’s, Takumi Sen 8’s.
Adizero SL or Duramo Speed?
I’d say if you can find the ADIZERO SL discounted I would buy them. The materials on the SL are a better choice overall. If cannot find the ADIZERO SLs discounted then I’d go with the Duramo Speed. Hope that helps!
