They need to stop calling the ultraboost a running shoe, its a shoe designed for walking and comfort really. No one is gonna use the Ultraboost for running unless they don't know how good other shoes are for the same price or less.
Great vid Adidas killing it lately. Terms of the Adios Pro 3 (AP3) vs Takumi Sen they are similar in many ways but will say the Takumi's are significantly more narrow than the AP3. Something to keep in mind case looking at them thinking they are just a lower stack version of the AP3's - very different geometries.
I've gotten so spoiled by the LS pro in the Prime X, Pro 3 and Takmumi Sen 8 that its hard for me to go back to Lightstrike now. Feels like a total brick to my old legs. LOL
Adidas SL is really a great all around shoe. I have loved using it for long runs, easy runs, longer efforts, recovery days. I don't understand how anyone would not love it.
Thanks for taking us through the new shoe lineup! Adidas has definitely been crushing it the past few years. Can’t wait to slip on a pair of those Adizero SL
Been using Adidas a lot lately across the spectrum, my faves are definitely the Takumi sens but have been wanting to try the Adios pro 3s for a while now! Just got the SLs too and those have been really impressive considering the price point. Love this run down as it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference between all the Adidas shoes!
Been trying to get a pair of the Boston 11s for a while, still haven’t gotten a pair yet but definitely on my list for a pair of shoes in the future! But I did order the TME singlet and the TME rain jacket during that flash sale! Stoked for those! Keep up the hard work guys!
Got to say that the adidas takumi sens is my favorite running shoe by adidas so far. I will definitely need to check out the SL as I’m in need of a new do it all/ long run shoe.
Top video guys. I’ve just started running in Solarglides and they are mint. Love them so much that I’ve just ordered a set of Ultaboost as an alternative and looking at the LIghtstrike Takumi Sens as my next race shoe. 🙌
SL20s were the first non-Asics shoe I've tried in years. 400 miles in and I'm still loving them. No knee aches, plenty forgiving, can race a 5k or go for a 15k in them. A great versatile shoe for someone who doesn't have multiple ones. I'm thinking I might need to try out the SL.
Great breakdown of the Adi's. Thank you guys. I am a heel striker. I was thinking about getting the trio of the SL- Takumi - Pro 3 for everything from easy to race days. Are those good options? Are they true to size?
Unfortunately we were not sent the Prime X, as it's not legal for World Athletics events, but we've heard it's an unreal shoe! Might just have to ask for it in the next distro for our training.
Ok. I think the Adilette clog is the most interesting 😊 Is there Tinman elite edition? And what about the Adizero Sl, is on Tinman elite edition also? Thank!
Hey guys i'm wondering could use recommend me a shoe? I love the adidas brand but i have only used the adidas rc2 and rc3 (rc3's being my fav shoes i have ran all my 10k's and halfs in this shoe) and the adidas adios adizero 5 i also use. I like the feeling of the ground and i am also a midfoot forefoot striker and i tend to stay away from shoes that look like they have massive platforms 😂 i love the look of takumi sens but i have never ran in a carbon plate so i don't know what they are like and i have never tried bostons or sl. Is there any shoe simular to the ones i have been using or something i might like?
Which shoe would you recommend for a recreational runner who typically does all her running in the same trainer type shoes but is looking to try a racing/faster shoe? I’m hoping to run a 5K PB this summer
hmmmmm what shoe do you train in currently? The SL is a great lightweight trainer that lasts forever. Our athletes would race any road 5k in the Adios Pro 3. Definitely will be a crazy experience feeling all the cushion and spring in that shoe for races vs a normal training shoe.
@@TinmanElite Thanks for replying! I currently run in ASICS gel cumulus. I’m on my second pair and they’ve treated me well. I’m ready for a change though. Thanks for the advice!
Unfortunately we were not sent the Prime X, as it's not legal for World Athletics events, but we've heard it's an unreal shoe! Might just have to ask for it in the next distro for our training.
Crazy to not see the Prime X being included. I know fully it's not aloud for racing, but for long tempos it'd seem (at least to me) to be a great training tool! Do you never use those?
The dirt roads in Boulder are pretty bumpy and with the high stack height, we don't want to risk a sprained ankle. Adidas doesn't even send us a pair because its stack height is banned for professionals as you mentioned. Like having access to a sports car you arent allowed to drive haha
Looking for a summer milage shoe that would be for long runs and fartleks that I could pick up the pace for. It looks like the Boston or the SL would be the best ideas. Overall, how many miles can they both support without risking any kind of injury, because I've had a few injuries over the past few seasons.
SL will easily get you 300-350 miles, and the Boston 350-400. Just depends on if it's your only shoe, or if it's a part of a rotation! Both will get the job done for what you're looking for, but be aware the Boston's will be a stiffer shoe overall, even with more midsole cushion.
Dont suppose the team had any leftover pro 2 tme s in size 8? I know a runner that could use those magical shoes. Also solarglide 5 was highly underrated except for the tongue. Did they fix the tongue on the 6. It was aweful.
Great video, I switch between the adizero adios and the Takimi sen for my fast days. Amazing feeling shoes. Hope to try the pro 3s one day. Keep the videos coming!
Legit such a useful breakdown! Have really wanted to try some Adidas shoes because they seem to be killing it with the newer models, but I feel they just have too many to choose from - total minefield scrolling through them on their website. This video is basically the perfect remedy for that. I've got a much better idea of what I'm looking for now. Much appreciated Tinmen and best of luck through 2023!
The SL trainer is just the shoe I feel like you guys have been waiting for. Excited to see how it impacts y'alls training. The durability is a huge selling point for the average consumer. Something i'm definitely looking forward too as I don't like to buy too many shoes. Would be grateful if y'all could send a pair my way!
Love the takumi and adios pro line. I started off with ultra running. Ran a 12 hour race as my first race. As I've been exploring traditional distances I've only raced in adidas. Current 5k and half PR are both in adidas shoes. Gonna do a 10k and full Mary next and def will use the takumi and pro 3 for these 😊
Just upgraded my worn Boston 10s to the 11s and excited to have some Pro 3s on the way for half marathon races this summer and fall. Love the SL feedback as I've been looking for a lighter trainer for easy runs - will definitely be looking to snag a pair of those!
Pro 3 has been excellent for me at tempo and race day efforts. So good I bought a second pair and I am picky and rarely get the same shoe twice. Best of luck to you in half marathons . For whatever reasons I have been able to find adios pro 3 at more reasonable sale prices.
The only pair I had of Adidas was the sl 20 that I got on sale and it really changed my running in high that I used for workouts. I enjoy the wider toebox a lot and last forever since I've always run in Nike and their shoes are narrow and wear out pretty easy so I wanted something different. Ever since I wanted to get another pair of Adidas especially since all the improvements Adidas made
Just ordered my second pair of SL's. Great daily trainer and really versatile for different runs and tempos. Really feels like an update to the older Boston pairs like the 9s but with more cushion for daily miles.
Finally, a shoe lineup video! Missed out on 2022 but I'm not complaining. I'm running my first half marathon on April 30 and I'm still debating on whether to get the Adios Pro 3 or the Saucony Endorphin Pro/Speed 3. Anyways advice on which one to get before it's time for me to taper?
yeah we felt like the shoes were not updated enough to do a 2022 video! Glad to be back with some big upgrades. Both are great shoes so don't stress over the decision --> the Adios Pro 3 will be a more aggressive racing shoe than the Endorphin. So definitely will want to get some long run / workouts in it before race day.
@@TinmanElite In your opinion, would the Adios Pro 3 be a good fit for overpronators? You see, I have a tendency to overpronate and I've actually had good mileage with your Solarcontrol shoe. But my worry is if a super shoe is okay to race or workout in.
Seems all the adidas pros like Lightstrike/Lightstrike Pro more than Boost now, but Boost was all the rage a few years ago. What’s different/better about Lightstrike?
Thank you the great overview, guys. I’ve been running in solarglide st stability shoes for the past few years, and these have been working very well for me. Now it’s time for another pair of adidas daily trainers, that are not too cushy, a little less bulky, and still fairly stable. Would you recommend adizero sl for a slight overpronation? I’m loving the design and specs of adizero sl, but unfortunately these are not yet available in my country. Would be happy to win a pair from you:)
We would say the solarglide or solarboost would be a better option if you're looking to get away from the solarglide st shoes-- they don't have the same guide rail as the ST, but will have more reinforced uppers to help a little with the pronation. The SLs are very neutral, so won't help much with pronation.
Loving the colors! I really need to check out the SL! Do you find the Boston 11 to be louder than previous versions when making contact with the ground? Might just be in my head but they seem to slap hard.
i am very disappointed that the mesh upper on my takumi 9 sens split in both insteps after just 210km/ 4 months of use. this is a premium product retailing at £170! Adidas rejected my warranty claim giving no more information other than to refer to the t&c of the returns policy which is frankly rude and can in no way be viewed as acceptable customer service. My assumption is that the warehouse deemed that i was using the shoe for other than 'running' which is completely incorrect. i feel cheated by what i would have considered one of the premium sports brands
9:29 My 2 cents, the outsole of Adizero SL is not Continental Rubber like those high end Adizero, but Sam’s point is still valid cause’ it’s still very durable.
How would you describe the difference between the Adios 7 and the Takumi Sen 9? I bought Adios 7s for 5k / fast workouts; but I find them too hard, and rather dull; no snap or bounce. I’m toying with the idea of Takumi Sen 9s to replace; but am worried there is little difference. I’m a Pro 2 guy for half and full marathons (and I love em 😊) Cheers
This was a great video, as an xc ski atlhete i ran a lot expecially in early season, and I would like to know some more about the sl. For me, doing a lot of easy run and putting hours on the leg, having a good shoes is fondamental. Is the shoe "resposnive" but soft enough to be an easy run shoes but that i can also use to recover? I have a pair of boston 10 and the idea of running in the sl has always tempted me.
i am also a steeplechaser at the moment i run in the nike dragonfly but i definetly have trouble with the barriers being to slippery for the draginfly and the DF is not agressive enoigh would the ambition be a good replacement
They need to stop calling the ultraboost a running shoe, its a shoe designed for walking and comfort really. No one is gonna use the Ultraboost for running unless they don't know how good other shoes are for the same price or less.

Adidas SL is really a great all around shoe. I have loved using it for long runs, easy runs, longer efforts, recovery days. I don't understand how anyone would not love it.
maybe the best adidas training shoe in the past decade tbh
Some runners have found the midsole a bit stiff. I am a heel striker. Before getting them I just wanted to make sure?
Thanks for taking us through the new shoe lineup! Adidas has definitely been crushing it the past few years. Can’t wait to slip on a pair of those Adizero SL
Thanks for taking the time to do a breakdown of your new shoe line up! Happy racing!
Still loving my last year rotation. adios 6, boston10 TME, adios pro 2 TME all still in good condition👍🏻💪🏼
First run in my new SL's today. Very nice experience........
A fun review. Coming back from from an achilles injury and I can't wait to get back into a nice marathon shoe.

try the Boston 10, its the same...only a few changes in the upper but same....
@@rodrigogorosito4206 agreed! Appreciate the support, that terrex rain jacket is next level!
@@TinmanElite The only jacket I’ll need!
The Boston 10 TME is my favorite shoe I’ve ever owned. I’ve bought 3 pairs
Would love to see someone with the clogs at a wedding 😂 that made my day!
Got to say that the adidas takumi sens is my favorite running shoe by adidas so far. I will definitely need to check out the SL as I’m in need of a new do it all/ long run shoe.
Great line up of shoes and good to see a range with a breakdown of the uses for each shoe.
if im doing a 5k-10k race do i choose the takumi sen or adios pro 3?
Super helpful breakdown and I appreciate hearing your thoughts on each shoe

What do you think about the Adidas Duramo Speed ?
Sick colorways
sea foam green is v solid

Just ordered the SL thanks
Love the video. Would love to see what you guys pack for travel meets (like 3 day trip vs 2 week trip)
We'll put it on the list for upcoming videos!
What about the adizero prime X?
Unfortunately we were not sent the Prime X, as it's not legal for World Athletics events, but we've heard it's an unreal shoe! Might just have to ask for it in the next distro for our training.
Ok. I think the Adilette clog is the most interesting 😊
Is there Tinman elite edition?
And what about the Adizero Sl, is on Tinman elite edition also?
Thank!
Most fashionable team in the biz 🤌

What happened to the SL20 shoes?
upgraded to the SL
Pretty sure the adizero sl doesn’t have continental rubber on it.
Not using Prime X at all? Interesting!
Never understood how Parsons could forefoot strike in Ambitions for 12 laps straight...Insanity.
Made a world final doing it!

Thank goodness they have released the Takumisen (タクミセン) shoe in Canada!!!
Great to hear about some of the new adidas boots….
I will definitely give the SL a go after hearing your rave reviews. 🎉
Seems all the adidas pros like Lightstrike/Lightstrike Pro more than Boost now, but Boost was all the rage a few years ago. What’s different/better about Lightstrike?
Great question: The short answer is that the Lightstrike pro foam performs far better for racing than Boost foam.
Colours are sick
the adidas super shoe mid-sole is so much more durable than those of other brands.
Roughly how many miles do y’all put on your Adizero SLs before switching?
300-350 miles depending on how frequently we have them in the rotation!
I think the adizero SL is the baby brother of the AP 3 aesthetic wise 🤑
the takumi gets slept on for longer distances, did my first mara in it and it held up perfectly. Anyone run in the Supernova 2?
The Supernova 2 was the team go-to before the SLs came out! Still a great lightweight trainer.
Thank you the great overview, guys. I’ve been running in solarglide st stability shoes for the past few years, and these have been working very well for me. Now it’s time for another pair of adidas daily trainers, that are not too cushy, a little less bulky, and still fairly stable. Would you recommend adizero sl for a slight overpronation?

We would say the solarglide or solarboost would be a better option if you're looking to get away from the solarglide st shoes-- they don't have the same guide rail as the ST, but will have more reinforced uppers to help a little with the pronation. The SLs are very neutral, so won't help much with pronation.
Loving the colors! I really need to check out the SL! Do you find the Boston 11 to be louder than previous versions when making contact with the ground? Might just be in my head but they seem to slap hard.
We haven't found much of a difference in the experience with the Boston 10 to 11, can't say they're louder 😂
So…the entire adidas running line up
i am very disappointed that the mesh upper on my takumi 9 sens split in both insteps after just 210km/ 4 months of use. this is a premium product retailing at £170! Adidas rejected my warranty claim giving no more information other than to refer to the t&c of the returns policy which is frankly rude and can in no way be viewed as acceptable customer service. My assumption is that the warehouse deemed that i was using the shoe for other than 'running' which is completely incorrect. i feel cheated by what i would have considered one of the premium sports brands
I have already 3-4 pairs of shoes :P Wanna try ADIDAS...i'm 48yrs 192cm....Takumo Sen 9 for 100€ good option or should i got with SL, Boston 11/12?
Adidas will be happy to know I bought my first Adidas shoes since 1987 based on watching your videos. So far, so good.
The adios pro 3 has been exceptionally good for me. Bought 2nd pair , and I rarely buy the same shoe twice .
Unfortunately, the Adizero SL does NOT have Continental rubber on the outsole.
I don't get the difference between the Takumi Sen 9 and the Boston 11, seems like both have the seems features just a different upper
I only buy adidas kit exclusively I just love all their stuff 👌🔥🔥🔥
Correction: Adizero SL outsole is not Continental rubber, but still pretty decent by most reviews.
Love your shoe lineup videos! Do you guys do your warm up for road races in the same shoes you will then race in?
We'll warmup in our trainers (SL, solarglide, solarboost) and then race in the Adios Pro 3s or Takumi 9s depending on the distance.
Would you recomend the adizero adios 7 as a top shoe for tempo sessions (400,300,200 etc.)? Also a top Video 👍
sure mate....
Our team prefers the Takumi for those types of sessions but we see most sprinters use the adizero adios 7 for workouts like that.
SL doesn’t have continental rubber
The pro3's are great but the tread wears away like balsa wood 😮
Feel like we're needing a 2024 version :)
Can I run a half maraton in those adizero sl's
9:29 My 2 cents, the outsole of Adizero SL is not Continental Rubber like those high end Adizero, but Sam’s point is still valid cause’ it’s still very durable.
I have 23 pairs of Adidas shoes in my closet...please send another! (PS I have the Tinman Solarglides ... love em ;)
no way, we need proof ;)
Nice to see there’s a shoe that’s a little lower to the ground in the rotation.
How would you describe the difference between the Adios 7 and the Takumi Sen 9?
I bought Adios 7s for 5k / fast workouts; but I find them too hard, and rather dull; no snap or bounce. I’m toying with the idea of Takumi Sen 9s to replace; but am worried there is little difference. I’m a Pro 2 guy for half and full marathons (and I love em 😊)
Cheers
This was a great video, as an xc ski atlhete i ran a lot expecially in early season, and I would like to know some more about the sl. For me, doing a lot of easy run and putting hours on the leg, having a good shoes is fondamental. Is the shoe "resposnive" but soft enough to be an easy run shoes but that i can also use to recover? I have a pair of boston 10 and the idea of running in the sl has always tempted me.
The adistar is my favorite shoe. I'm a delivery driver and I jog my entire work day. The adistar makes the work day more comfortable.
Noticed that you guys don't use the takumis for races. Would you say that adios pro 3s are preferred even for road races as short as 5/10km?
i am also a steeplechaser at the moment i run in the nike dragonfly but i definetly have trouble with the barriers being to slippery for the draginfly and the DF is not agressive enoigh would the ambition be a good replacement
I really have enjoyed the Adidas SL. They are a perfect light weight daily trainer. I like the way I feel after a run. My legs still feel fresh!
