I tried ordering Superblast 2 several times, and my order was canceled every time. I'm honestly over it at this point, and I don't even want it anymore. I'll find a different shoe.
Cafe Runner as Cafe Racer ❤ Love it and buy it - Thomas just created new running shoe category !!!! Hope more companies will follow with shoes that both great at daily running but also at casual fasion as adidas is exploring 👌
I'm choosing the Evo SL just because it has the Lightstrike Pro (LSP)foam which I really really love and I'm glad that it has the same LSP as the Adios Pro 3. The Superblast 2 is great but I find the new foams too soft for my liking. Maybe I'm just too attached to my Superblast 1 which is one of my all time favorite shoes. 😊
I got them both and for anyone curious, evo sl has softer feeling - if that’s important for you and sb2 is more structured (as mentioned in the video).
@mrne1433 If I had Evo SL earlier I think I wouldn’t buy SB2. And if you have SB2, you don’t need Evo SL. If you don’t own any of them, I’d suggest the cheaper one.
@@ser1ification Got it, thanks for your input. Heard many good things about the SB2, it's probably the most popular and most talked about running shoe on the internet ever.
@@mrne1433upper, stability and grip of Superblast 2 make it more worth it vs the Evo SL in my opinion after having run in both, though just short distances so far in the latter. SB2 still feels more premium, and the stiffness of the midsole gives it a more responsive pop.
Very disappointed with this launch from Adidas: the amount of run-cosplayers who got it VERY early and blew it up, the weird lifestyle marketing materials of an Adizero product (very "getting groceries in Alphaflys"), the raffle release/limited quantities for people who just want to run (I failed with 2 attempts at a sz11), botted releases on other sites. Just release a shoe when you can make enough stock so runners can run Adidas.
100% There’s enough great shoes out there that this whole hype marketing stunt has totally put me off these. The fact that they ask you to fill out a little questionnaire on whether you liked the hype launch (they actually used the effing word ‘hype’!) was the final nail in the coffin.
It's fair game to talk about the way Adidas chose to release this shoe, but seriously, "run-cosplayers"? Get your head out of your a$$ and keep the elitism for yourself. Your 5k pb is some Kenyan's zone 2.
I have the superblast. Never wore the adidas. But I can tell you that miles after miles of running on sidewalks the superblast will superlast and feels amazing to me. Liked them so much I bought 2 more pairs I only use on long runs and mostly run the novablast for interval training and 5ks. I may buy the adidas if I can find them.
Thanks for making a video comparing these versatile shoes. I have the Asics Superblast 2 and I'm waiting on the release of Adidas EVO SL in our country
Great review. Exactly the info I was looking for. I was between 3 shoes (these two and the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4) Now I'm between two - Thanks for helping 🙂
Sold my Superblast 2's as I just didn't think they were as good as the hype made them out to be. Replaced mine with the Prime X2 Strung and find them much nicer to run in 👌🏻 I will be picking up a pair of the Evo SL's when they finally release in the UK 😎
Just a quick correction. The main foam on the Superblast 2 is FF Turbo+, not FFTurbo. FF be Turbo+ is what is in the Metaspeed Sky/Edge Paris while FF Turbo is what was in the Metaspeed Sky/Edge+.
Other daily trainer options that might be more available out there : Asics Noosa Tri 16, Nike Pegasus Plus, Asics Glideride Max, Saucony Triumph, Asics Novablast 4
Aaahhh, yhere's just so many good shoes out! Would love to add the SL to the collection. But I bought so many this year! First going to run in the Mach X2 and superblast and AFTER all of that I'll see what's up with new shoes. The bank is closed until all shoes are worn :))) Yeah right :)
@ thanks for the feedback, I’ll report back on the first run (10k to 16k) Also have Adidas Prime X2 arriving tomorrow if anyone in chat has experience with them?
Congratulations Adidas for launching the EVO, that is what I needed was an Adios Pro 3 without a carbon plate, I don't understand why there are so many carbon plate sneakers on the market, I use them in races and on some long training sessions... waiting for this Adidas to arrive!!! great video
Seems like a very good shoe but I already have SL2s and SB2s and Adios Pro 3s, so there's really not much reason for me to buy it. Kinda falls in the middle of those shoes. I'll still probably end up getting a pair once they're available lol
The "I don't need it".. but if it's available and I've got the extra cash.. "sure I'll get one" mantra that is the curse of running hahahah SL2 FTW!! I think people sleeping on the SL2 is criminal!!
Have OG SB and SB2. Still running in my OG. I would agree evo would be great for casual wear and bring on a trip if I could only bring one pair of shoes and not have to care about taking care of a shoe.
For many SB2 is infuriatingly pricey and if it had any deal-breaking weakness, or if any of the major components (response, cushion, comfort etc.) that people deem important were mediocre/disappointing it would have been driven out of the market very fast. The fact that they are popular at that price alone already proves their worth
I'm with Meaghan here, I think these shoes serve different purposes. I think the Evo SL compares better against the Peg Plus, as they're both in that performance trainer category. Which one would win, the returning Turbo or the Pro Evo 1 for the masses?
i actually regret that I didn’t buy a pair of SB2 when I was picking up my runner kit for Toronto waterfront run. They have full size available there and also the meta speed sky and edge.
I have the Superblast 2. It is my favorite shoe I've ever worn for any kind of exercise. I'd love to try the Evo SL but for $50 more I might rather just get a second pair of SB2s.
38/32 stack on the EVO SL is almost as much LSP as the AP3. As someone who really likes the Adizero SL2, this is a definite buy for me upon general release. The Superblast 2 is a definite pass. I have the SB1 and the geometry just doesn't work for me. I'm constantly fighting to get over the foam in the forefoot to roll through my stride. By all accounts, the foam in SB2 is not soft enough to change that issue.
Wow I like the SB2 but equivalent of $260 is nuts--Puma MagMax is just as good for me in general and even better at slower paces than SB2, lower cost and higher availability as well...
Two different shoes for two different target markets. The Pro Evo 1 is Adidas' most recognizable silhouette in running (that non-runners recognize) and it's only fitting the brand creates a version for the wider audience.
How can we chime in when the Evo SL isn’t available yet? The Adidas SL2 is an incredibly great shoe so if the Evo SL is anything like it then it’ll be fantastic. The Superblast 1 was fine but the SL2 is easily better. The opinions on the Suoerblast 2 have been much more mixed from what I’ve seen.
We aren't buying running shoes with how they look casually for the cafe/hanging out. At least I'm not. I have casual shoes for that...SB 2 all day... And if you are a teacher-15% off, healthcare worker-25% off, etc from Asics. Makes the SB 2 $185 for me. I'll even take the Zoom Fly 6 over the Evo SL...
You’re so rite. However i think they will sell out once they do drop in march and people will buy 2 pairs when the end up going on sale later in 2025. Mark my words
Superblast 2 is always sold out and has a hefty price tah. If the Evo will be widely available (since adidas is criminal in terms of stock.) goin with the evo.
i want a comparison between superblast2 vs deviate nitro elite 3. They cost the same price and the dne3 has good durability too! In my mind the dne3 is superior.
Superblast was soooo slow, I don't understand this idea that it still has some pop or can do higher speeds, it's the slowest show i've used (excpet a gel nimbus from 2020)
I wasn't a fan of the Rebel v4 because it was soft but had no bounce at all. I bottomed that shoe out after 1 mile. I have a few Adidas shoes with Lightstrike Pro foam, and it has much more bounce than the fresh foam. I can't imagine that to be the case that the EVO would have less bounce. Then again, I'd love to get my hands on one to try it, so this is all just assumption.
I thought the Adizero EVO SL was going to be a watered down version of the Adizero EVO...but it sounds like a totally different shoe.. If the only comparison is the look, why even name it that??
To market the Superblast as a marathon racer is just wrong. I know it's a good shoe(I have it), but it does not even come close to my Endorphin Pro 3(lighter, bouncier, narrower, much better rocker). I almost think that Asics are paying some reviewers are to overhype this shoe.
@@radoslavstoev4550 I know, that's why I worded my question carefully. If a serious, aspiring runner finishes in the top 1000 and wants his time to be officially counted, I'd imagine that wearing shoes with an illegal stack height will get him disqualified.

Hopefully Adidas will actually let us non-influencers buy it sometime soon!
True. And neither does Asics let us buy the Superblast
@@daniellangford5497 no stock!!!!!
Exactly, 2 shoes that are almost impossible to get hold of. Aces.

Is the SB2 really worth the additional $50 compared to the Evo SL? Which shoe do you like to run in more?

Not heard the phrase run- cosplayers before. Made me chuckle as I’m wondering if they turn up at comic cons soon?
As you see it works - make people talk
Agreed, adizero and lifestyle don't belong in the same sentence. What's next, casual spikes?

Liked them so much I bought 2 more pairs I only use on long runs and mostly run the novablast for interval training and 5ks. I may buy the adidas if I can find them.
I know for a fact that a lot of people will buy Evo Sl for casual wear.
Yeah, casuals
Me 😊
Well I won’t buy it to run in after this review
i will buy just for casual .really looks great
Thanks for making a video comparing these versatile shoes. I have the Asics Superblast 2 and I'm waiting on the release of Adidas EVO SL in our country
Good to see the return of Between 2 Shoes!
Great answer, get'em both! Adidas, let us buy!

I just received my SB2 today and looking forward to my first run in them tomorrow 🎉
It might need 50k to break thru. Mine had that "issue". But enjoy!
@ thanks, I've seen a few comments on this. Hopefully being a heavier runner (100kg) it takes half the time 😉
@buntyboomboom2978 i.m in the 90kg range. Mine took 50k to feel from "great" to "oh mama!

Have fun!
Sad I didn't win the raffle for the EVO SL's! Great video as always :)
Congratulations Adidas for launching the EVO, that is what I needed was an Adios Pro 3 without a carbon plate, I don't understand why there are so many carbon plate sneakers on the market, I use them in races and on some long training sessions... waiting for this Adidas to arrive!!! great video
Because carbon justifies higher prices- now most shoes have it only for that purpose
What did the Evo SL’s geometry influence the casual wear? If it’s shaped like evo 1?
Kinda feel like I already have it in the Rebel. I do love my SB2 though.
SUPERBLAST 2 feels like the first model. Upper is slightly different but you don't notice.
Seems like a very good shoe but I already have SL2s and SB2s and Adios Pro 3s, so there's really not much reason for me to buy it. Kinda falls in the middle of those shoes.

You know which one Tomas is rocking after this on his his way down to Starbucks to order that pumpkin spice latte 😅
I love B2S, but I love it more when the shoes are two options that a person might choose between for the same use case.
Is the Evo SL more comparable vs the Novablast 5 then?
Superblast2 can do it all… loved it
For many SB2 is infuriatingly pricey and if it had any deal-breaking weakness, or if any of the major components (response, cushion, comfort etc.) that people deem important were mediocre/disappointing it would have been driven out of the market very fast.

My initial response to the Evo SL was that it may be a superblast comp. Just from the full race foam midsole.
Kind of looks like a counseling session, but the therapist is a pair of shoes. 😅
How does that make you feel 😂
I don’t buy shoes anymore in the hype phase. Better wait 3 months.
Excellent comparison. My vote goes to Adidas Evo SL. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. !!! Happy Halloween 🎃!!!!.
Durability is a factor too, not sure about the adidas but Superblast easily lasts 1000+ kms - paying the extra 50 is worth every penny.
i actually regret that I didn’t buy a pair of SB2 when I was picking up my runner kit for Toronto waterfront run. They have full size available there and also the meta speed sky and edge.
Love the SB2!
I’ll take my Neo vistas!
Love my superblast 2s
Adidas didn’t want my money, so I’ll stick with superblast until wider release
I have actually been toying with these 2 shoes as to which one to go for. Although neither are available at the moment 😢
I was actually considering the SB2 for $150 vs. Boston 12 for $110, neither in the colorway I wanted. Went with the SB2.
I have the Superblast 2. It is my favorite shoe I've ever worn for any kind of exercise. I'd love to try the Evo SL but for $50 more I might rather just get a second pair of SB2s.

Thought that the Evo are more like nike's streakfly... good foam, light, speed oriented. Isn't it?
Not a fast shoe
So Evo SL is closer to the Novablast?
problem for SB2 is: stock and price in EU....no stock and 220€, which is actually 260$
Wow I like the SB2 but equivalent of $260 is nuts--Puma MagMax is just as good for me in general and even better at slower paces than SB2, lower cost and higher availability as well...
Can we get a between 2 shoes for the Tecton x3 and the Agravic Speed Ultra?
Feel wise i think its the same as nb rebel v4
What is the criteria for being allowed to buy the Evo SL? Apart from being willing to pay double RRP on eBay.
Thomas you say in the video that SB2 has FF Turbo when its actually FF Turbo+
B2S Evo SL vs Novablast 5 when it is off embargo, please
How does the Adizero EVO SL compare to the New Balance Rebel v4?
I think its the same. Sl2 has more bounce
Rebel is available, EVO SL not.
Evo SL vs Endorphin speed 4?
The superblast 2 looks isn’t too bad either, I’m ok wearing it to cafe tho, at least the white/grey colorway I’m wearing
Two different shoes for two different target markets. The Pro Evo 1 is Adidas' most recognizable silhouette in running (that non-runners recognize) and it's only fitting the brand creates a version for the wider audience.

Probably depends on how much you are willing to spend 😁
Imagine the ratio of satisfied:dissatisfied customers* Adidas created with this marketing strategy. * Including potential customers
You’re so rite. However i think they will sell out once they do drop in march and people will buy 2 pairs when the end up going on sale later in 2025. Mark my words

@Believeintherun I have the sl1 sl2 now I have to buy this one..I guess lol 😆
Takumi Sen or wait for Evo SL? Which is more stable?
Sen10
Did you guys test out the ON cloudboom zone yet
Is the Evo SL anything similar to the Glideride Max?
From what I can tell they're very different shoes.
Nothing will ever exceed the SB2 for this crew.
Wasn’t it in the SB1 that you ran the Tokyo marathon?
I think if price is a consideration, everyone will go for evo sl. Especially those ather than US or europe
Superblast 2 is always sold out and has a hefty price tah. If the Evo will be widely available (since adidas is criminal in terms of stock.) goin with the evo.
Anybody out there have the Evo SL and the Topo Cyclone/Spectre? Seems like some similarities there.

But it has a plate?
@@chrisgg yes it has but not noticeable
SB2 too pricey, EVO SL not as versatile nor race-worthy = buy the new NB5?
What about EVO vs the new Zoomfly 6?

Ive got 350 miles on my SB 2 .. doubt Evo SL could get there ..looks dainty
Nah, it’s durable

Too much hype for both these shoes that the manufacturers can't keep up with. Go with another shoe then. The Adidas raffle was a turn-off.
Irrelevant since both can't be bought.
