I have 423km on mine so far, and once you get used to suddenly being tall, they are great! Longest run I have in them is 30km and I would have gone further but was hungry so went home for breakfast!
Best long run shoe I ever had!!! The squish and comfort under foot is amazing. Stability might be an issue, but this shoe ALWAYS makes my long runs feel effortless, and I'm not even tired or sore afterwards. That's got to mean something in a running shoe.
I did a marathon on mine and now i use it as a daily because it’s just so comfortable and fun to run in. Adidas did a great job on these for sure! Only con to me is the price
Oh dear...it's one of the best training shoes you can get, it's fast, no1 for comfort , and it saves your joints. I don't even feel unstable in them. I have a lot of PRs in this show despite owning most of the top supershoes...it's one of the best shoes you can buy.
How can you give this shoe 3/10 for weight? You conpletely missed the point of the shoe? Its really biased to give this a low score and compare it to the next%. They are conpletely different shoes. This adidas is for max protection which it provides. Its not the all out racing shoe you seem to have conpared it too Personally i think the weight on this shoe is incredible given how much stack height and rubber there is.
@@SethJamesDeMoor think you missed my point but even your 3 word reply was incorrect. It not a marathon racing shoe because it illegal for marathon racing....
@@jamesd5241 I think this is right - should have compared it to the Bondi X and hammered it on price not performance as a marathon shoe. Plates and rods are in many cases for stability not speed.
The agenda against Adidas is obvious at this point. Been watching the channel for quite a while now, apart from SL20 original, none of the Adidas shoes get the praise they deserve. Not stating that they all are 10/10, but the brand gets treated unfairly and the scores are beyond harsh. First the “don’t buy this shoe” comment on the Agravic Ultra, and now this, it’s the nail on the coffin for me. It was a pleasure watching you Seth, not anymore.
In Aus shoes is 420 n discounted 40%, so ~$250. I tried it at adidas n my ankles were scarily rolling n dodging customers trying to get up to speed was frightening. I noticed on your Strava you’re a 5:30+ runner. Try running on these at 3:00-3:30 paces n change direction on them with 50mm height. Shoe needs to be $150 n I still not sure I’d wear it. As a training shoe it’s not worth either. Adidas aren’t known for great runners.
This isn't a marathon racing shoe for an aspiring OTQ standard athlete as they are illegal ! So you can't race in it. I think it more of as a max cushioned tempo shoe and if you run mainly in a straight line it is pretty quick and the weight does not matter that much even in the largest UK 12.5 I have. Cornering is "interesting" for sure but once get used to it, it is not as tricky as initially seems.
I don't get it. The shoe is clearly not a marathon racer because it is illegal. So it should not be compared to the racers like the Next% 2 for the weight.
The weight seems a bit irrelevant for this ultra high stack and incredible bouncy shoe. That stunt from an Adidas runner that "won" that race by 2 minutes... this shoe works for what I understand. And if this stack high would to be approved for competition today, tomorrow EVERY SINGLE running shoe brand would make shoes with 50mm .
I think you put too much emphasis on the weight of shoes Seth. Research has shown that the energy return of the foam in shoes is far more important. For example an alphafly at 7 oz is more efficient than a vapourfly at 6 Oz which is more efficient than a dragonfly at 4.50z which is faster than a more traditional spike at 3.5 Oz. Here we see a pretty clear trend of increased stack height and efficiency and also weight. So just beacuse a shoe is heavier doesn't mean it's slower. Not saying the prime x is faster than the next% or adiós pro but the weight isn't everything.
I wish you would go back and do this review through the lens of a fun/soft/long-run/recovery shoe. It has been great for me on days where my legs or feet are tired, but still need to get the miles in. Once you get used to the height, which I did after 3 or 4 runs, the miles just seem effortless in these. Been a great addition to my rotation.
Seth, wtf? this is not a racing shoe. Max height training one. You are fucking not allowed to give it 3/10 for weight SINCE IT IS NOT A RACING SHOE. IT IS A TRAINING PARTNER. its fucking light. You hate adidas, admit that.
I remember the 'review' of the best shoe of 2020 which was adios pro, where you ordered the wrong size and hated it dramatically where it was obvious that the boot itself was pretty much great (consider the records). You never fixed that, despite the fact that you mentioned that you probably will try the shoe in YOUR size :)
I have Prime X Strung.... it is wonderful. But,.... as you say. I slow to a walk for any sharp turn. If you want to be scared, try going up and down stairs.😬 The upper on the Strung I find very comfortable. Though.... I had to go a full size down to get a good lockdown. There is nothing quite them for a long training run on flat, even pavement. Nothing hurts on the run nor the next day. A blessing. And surprisingly good durability. They sure cost a lot, but I'm really pleased. And appreciate the uniqueness of the way the Strung is made.
Love them, fast , Very comfortable and most importantly Fun to run in, for me they are pretty stable , I even wear them for easy days they are that versatile and especially coming back from injury they are great, some may dislike but a lot are coming around to how good these shoes actually are, I would never feel guilty running in these as I’m part of the 99.98 % non elite 😄
I feel like reviewing this shoe as a race shoe is a little unfair as it was my understanding from the adidas marketing that this was intended as a highly cushioned trainer more like the Nike Invincible or New Balance TC. How would this pair with the Adios Pro 2 and/or Takumi Sen 8?
It's an amazing shoe and nowhere near as wobbly as people fear. 125 kms in mine already and the later version called Strung is well worth the upgrade as it's lighter and better fitting.
I love this shoe. I'll probably be buying another pair if not 2. Fast, super cushy!! I do agree that the ankle area is rigid. Haven't really had issues lately since it's cold and I've been wearing long socks. I use these as a daily trainer/long run shoe and race in Adizero Pro 2

I feel like this review completely missed the mark on what the real intentions of this shoe was. Almost seems like a constant dig against Adidas and really don’t understand why?
You should do a video where you do a workout where you spin a wheel and what ever shoe you land on you do the workout in. Mabey have a small space where you would were a ridiculous shoe like the prime x
ANOTHER strange comparison with shoes that are out and out supershoe racers.....why not compare to appropriate comparable's eg Nike Invincible? This is advertised as a Max cushioned TRAINER. Once you've learned to tame the ride (100% with you on stability....choose route carefully) , the shoe is AMAZING at what it gives back and the RPE .... I constantly return times about 10-15 sec/km quicker at same heart rate and legs feel WAY LESS beat up. Given the Tech and stack, weight is actually very good compared to the majority Max cushioned options out there.
Literally watching this now as I'm in a TKMAXX store in South London UK 🇬🇧 (like TJMAXX in the US) they have these here for £99.99 reduced from £220 and I have a £100 gift voucher I won at work. Could you use it to non-elite race in? Technically I'm getting this for free by using the voucher. And the colourway matches my running club vest. I have a 5mile road race this Friday so do I buy them?
I have been using a combination of training peaks for data analysis and STRAVA for inspiration and encouragement. whenever I struggle to get out the door, i look at STRAVA and everyone's positivity gets me going. My running coach uploads all my training plans to training peaks.
Although I love the shoe and disagree with the review overall, I have to agree with that Seth is showing at 4:26 is a major issue that disminishes the comfort rating of the shoe by a lot, especially if like Seth you run really long distances. After an 8km run, I also had some signs of rubbing on the top of the toe due to the lace system digging into my skin too. I fixed the issue by getting a small protective sleeve. And as some have suggested in the review of the Takumi 8, I might change the laces for better ones.

THX seth I'm all in for the snug upper fit. Especially here. Been frantically searching if the original non-Strung is one of Those Shoes that hurt my big toe knuckles. Here I had it, the front medial eyelet indeed is gonna kill my big toe knuckle. THX again I saved 189e sales price! (Gotta get the Strung tough.)
No go for Grandmas marathon. I have done that race about fifteen times. Old Highway 61….thanks Bob Dylan….is really slanted for drainage to the lake. Since it is the first 18 miles of the race you certainly would not want an unstable shoe and would want a lower stack height or your feet would most likely be slipping inside your shoes and blistering.

Hey there! I have been following your channel for a while now and while I sometimes wish your reviews would start with the manufacturer's perspective in addition to how you see it as sub-elite light runner, I love the knowledge, your insights and the fresh and objective perspective. Onwards and Upwards!
QOD: my most used is Strava (I mean who doesn’t use it), Garmin Connect, and my new favorite is Recover. Being 46 years old, and a new-ish (started in 2019) runner. I have pains & aches as my body try’s to figure out this fitness thing. I just tell it where I hurt, and it tells me what stretches & exercises I should do.
Hey Seth - Strava is my favorite. I also use Garmin Connect for tracking my runs and my shoe's mileage. Fitness related apps I also use (but not run tracking) are MyFitnessPal for tracking calorie intake and Jack Daniels' VDOT Calculator for determining different training paces and race paces for different distances based on my current estimated fitness or other known race times
I am still stuck in the Adidas Signal Green/ Coral/ Yellow era with my three pairs. Why would they ever give up this winning look? As an Apple fan this quick rate of change makes my head spin!
Hey Seth I'm a young runner: 180cm, 70kg looking for 2 running shoes to rotate: I need a pair for mileage (slower runs 4:45-5:30 pace) and a faster shoes for tempo run, track workouts and eventually race, do you have any recommendations? (goal 5km: 17 minutes)
Same thing, it literally sliced my foot, I couldn’t wear it anymore, HUGE gash on the top of my foot and I couldn’t bare it any more and thats saying a lot, first shoe to ever do that to me. Love the ride tho.
QD: Strava, Garmin, Final Surge 👍. These are enough for me. Easy to use and understand. Garmin probably my fave .... I like the graphs, summaries, basically all the ways it presents the info. I am an analytical/numbers guy.
Strava is about all I have the attention for. I start to feel a bit overwhelmed when attempting to blend together too many data trackers. That being said, the Coros app is great when I'm ready to take a deeper dive in to those numbers or if im looking to step away from the social media aspects of Strava. I will say though, VDOT Calc is a must have for anyone looking to dial in their race/training paces.
The Prime looks crazy, looks like its ready to injure you in an ankle roll too with the extra chamfer on the outer heel edge. Re QD: Asics Runkeeper, Strava, and Garmin App since my watch.
I use Strava to sync everything to. Garmin connect as I use a Fenix 6x pro/instinct tactix/520 cycle computer. I also use Komoot and outdoor active for route planning.
Strava and Garmin are my go-tos! Between the two of them I can get all the data that I need. I have a feeling if I bought a subscription to Strava I could get everything on there, but I'm trying to pinch pennies wherever I can...with higher mileage comes higher turnover of shoes 😅💲
QD Strava via connection to my Garmin. It fulfills my needs and I try to also run by feel or effort at the same time. Also TP simply because my coach gives me my assignments there. Martha
Off topic I know however I'm a new ish runner. Military background and now consistently running but looking to invest in a running watch (garmin).. what's the beat for runners people?? Thanks in advance??
Depends on your budget really. The Venu 2 seems pretty popular amongst new models. When Garmin releases new models, old models end up on pretty good sales. FYI Fenix 7 is about to release so look out for Fenix 6 models for up to 40% off.
Suggest you start with the Garmin 35/45 and upgrade later if you desire. These models have way more than necessary and very reliable and work with apps just fine. You can get both for $100 in most places. I e purchased 2 for my kids who run XC and track and their coach uses the data uploads each day. I’ve worn the same Garmin 235 since Dec 2017 and run 2000 miles a year. Still going strong. Good luck!
Isn't the upper recycled plastic? I'd take that over pure comfort any day, running shoes must be destroying the planet the rate us runners burn through them
Adidas is perhaps the only brand in the World with the luxury of producing unnecessary products and get away with it.... I mean, just look at the way they literally destroyed the Boston for no reason whatsoever, and now that abomination called prime X, which is not within the legal stack height, it is super unstable ( quite dangerous for your Achilles heel & tendon) and with all the observations made by Seth, you gotta ask yourself what they were thinking at Adidas when doing the shoe..
The heel height is 56mm... It had to beat joke.. To see how many would actually buy. To their surprise show nerds everywhere did.. So it's a part of their annual lineup jokes in the cards m nerds. Heh!!😁👍 Till they twist a muscle, break an ankle..
I have 423km on mine so far, and once you get used to suddenly being tall, they are great! Longest run I have in them is 30km and I would have gone further but was hungry so went home for breakfast!

Strava and Garmin are my go-tos! Between the two of them I can get all the data that I need. I have a feeling if I bought a subscription to Strava I could get everything on there, but I'm trying to pinch pennies wherever I can...with higher mileage comes higher turnover of shoes 😅💲
You look like Michael j fox back to the future vibes 😂
wow! bring back that shirt! :)
QD: strava! and Running Pace Calculator to set my pace on the track.
QD Strava via connection to my Garmin. It fulfills my needs and I try to also run by feel or effort at the same time. Also TP simply because my coach gives me my assignments there. Martha
Is the sock liner removable?
QD Garmin and Strava my top 2. I’m still trying to figure out how to get stryd involved into the mix.
Well after seeing this its clear. U don’t like Adidas. Very harsh rating here. Also its not a racing shoe! …..
That area cut into both my feet . The ride is so nice I keep using it , but it's a major flaw .
Agreed Colin, too unstable in that midfoot area
How tall do they make you? 🤣
QD: Garmin and Stryd.
How can I fix overpronation

QOD:: PolarFlow, Strava and Zwift
Someone said that Hoka Bondi are "maximalist" :D
Strava, Nike run club, polar flow
Polar!!!
This is definitely the best TH-cam channel for runners. Cheers from Italy!
Cheers right back to you Matteo
Off topic I know however I'm a new ish runner. Military background and now consistently running but looking to invest in a running watch (garmin).. what's the beat for runners people?? Thanks in advance??
Depends on your budget really. The Venu 2 seems pretty popular amongst new models.
When Garmin releases new models, old models end up on pretty good sales. FYI Fenix 7 is about to release so look out for Fenix 6 models for up to 40% off.
@@DeeGee69 thanks for the info 👍
Suggest you start with the Garmin 35/45 and upgrade later if you desire. These models have way more than necessary and very reliable and work with apps just fine. You can get both for $100 in most places. I e purchased 2 for my kids who run XC and track and their coach uses the data uploads each day. I’ve worn the same Garmin 235 since Dec 2017 and run 2000 miles a year. Still going strong. Good luck!
@@ericpetersen8645 thanks Eric!
QD: Strava, Polar and the app from the Gym
1. Strava, 2. Apple, 3. Nike Run Club
There you go!
New name for high stack shoes “supermax”
My feet have always seemed to be between sizes with Adidas. Not a great fit in their shoes.
These should be in the high heels 👠 category 😂
Isn't the upper recycled plastic? I'd take that over pure comfort any day, running shoes must be destroying the planet the rate us runners burn through them
Strava, my own that I wrote, Polar Flow, Coros Evolab
Seth....hope that you still find joy with your running and shoe reviews. Important to love it!!
Garmin Connect and Strava!
QD: Garmin Connect
There we go, someday I’ll try Garmon
Frankenstein would run in this. I am 200+ pounds.....maybe me too.
Frankenstein shoe.
Adidas is perhaps the only brand in the World with the luxury of producing unnecessary products and get away with it.... I mean, just look at the way they literally destroyed the Boston for no reason whatsoever, and now that abomination called prime X, which is not within the legal stack height, it is super unstable ( quite dangerous for your Achilles heel & tendon) and with all the observations made by Seth, you gotta ask yourself what they were thinking at Adidas when doing the shoe..
The shoe world is starting to become like the car world. Road legal, track legal and totally illegal.
It's Only fully illegal if it contains hidden knives, weapons and explosives.
Just too goofy of a shoe. Haven’t been tempted once to purchase it.
Like you're getting older!!
The heel height is 56mm... It had to beat joke.. To see how many would actually buy. To their surprise show nerds everywhere did.. So it's a part of their annual lineup jokes in the cards m nerds. Heh!!😁👍 Till they twist a muscle, break an ankle..
