I've been waiting for this video! Love your channel <3

Which one is more like the Nike Tempo? That was the best training shoe (for me) and its been hard to find a replacement.

Evo SL doing the online release , pre registration model again . I've clicked to see before I purchase when released, but won't bother now. Sick of Adidas doing this with daily trainers .

Just when I thought why not both of them and assign different roles to each based on the rocker and their geometry, you said it for me :)

Thank you for another video! I appreciate your opinion on these shoes. One thing though. In your performance matrix, you equal these shoes, but in your summary you argue that they are so different that you can have both in the rotation…

A key talking point here is price. I love that Adidas launched at $150 (vs $180 by Nike). It’s the first time in recent memory that a (big) brand has actually fought the trend of steady MSRP hikes. I hope a lot of consumers vote with their dollars and force the other brands to take notice.

Takumi sen had a major shift a few years ago.

Thank you - another great comparison video. A NB5 vs EVO SL comparison coming soon?

hi does exists any similarity between the zoomx for the invincible run 3 and the pegassus plus

The more of your videos I watch…the more I appreciate how you articulate the details of the shoes. Concise!!

Pegasus Plus is awesome. For me it is the best Nike trainer atm

Thanks for this comparison. It's nice to have so good options available! My wife didn't approve your recommendation to get both though 😅

We are so back

I wear size 44 2/3 in both the Adios 8 and Boston 12. I quite like the fit of the Adios 8, but I find I need to tighten the laces a bit too much with the Boston 12. I wear size 44.5 in the Vaporfly 3, Pegasus 41, and Pegasus Plus. The Vaporfly 3 feels great, whereas the Pegasus 41 is very tight and puffy in the toe box. The Pegasus Plus fits somewhat okay, but I still have to tighten the laces more than I’d like, with plenty of room in the toe box. I’d appreciate your opinion on sizing for both the Evo SL and Adios Pro 4. Thank you so much! 🙏

There we go that’s the one I was waiting for. The NP+ is a remarkable trainers. To my surprise it’s never bottomed for me and somehow it’s got enough resiliency to avoid harshness of some lower stack running shoes. you nailed this one spot on;it’s let you dictate the ride instead of encouraging your run form. The most notable sensation is when you shift gears and change speeds-it feel so fun and natural and bouncy almost like CVT transmission kind of. Overall I do like this new plat-less lower stack super foam direction. Shoes with a wide spectrum of capabilities that can do a variety of training and even races. Edit; the fix of the matrix regarding the easy/steady is also on point👍 The NP+ does easy/steady with no issues for me.

Here in New England, seen a ton of EVs, no peg’s or peg plus. Not a single one! 😮

Have Both. Evo easily wins. I shreded through the midsole on the Pegasus plus in 150ks. For reference I’ve never done that to any shoes before and usually take my shoes to 500-700ks.

Isnt the pegasus plus to low for easy running? Isnt it much harsher on the legs because of the low stack?

Bravo, once again, for masterfully negotiating around your Nike user bias and throwing it back at the viewer to decide. Great vs., as always.

I got the Nike Peg plus per your recommendation and like it a lot for speed workout, whereas I couldn’t go much speed workout on my Novablast 5. Can you recommend an ASICS shoes that’s similar to the Nike Peg Plus?

Great vs video. I own both and have put in ~50kms in the ESL and just over 100kms in the NP+ over the last month. You raise a great point about the prominent rocker in the ESL encouraging you to run in a certain way/tempo. I feel like when I run in the NP+ I have much more control of how I’m running. There’s a bit more of an explosive feeling when you shift through the gears. The NP+ has a nice snap to it and as weird as this might sound, makes it feel like your quads are really engaged and driving you forward. The ESL feels like I can run with 10-15% less effort. It’s definitely got more bounce to it (vs the snap of the NP+) and once you find the sweet spot (for me it’s around 04:45-04:50 p/km) it ticks over really nicely. It’s a shame the NP+ hasn’t been well received. I feel like if Nike could have made it $20-30 cheaper more people would have taken a chance on it. Keep up the great content 👏

Rebel V4 🙏

11:06 having both is always the right answer for all comparison video 😂

How does training in a higher efficiency foam compare to lower? Is it better to train most of your miles in a non super foam? How do you tailor your shoe, foam, and plate choice towards your training? Long topic but recently I've been switching between Endorphin Speed 4 and Nimbus 26 , but the Nimbus just feels super sluggish so i dont enjoy it as much. However, it makes me worried that I'm using the Endorphin as a crutch while training instead of powering through the softness of the Nimbus. Would it be better to use a Peg or SL2 rather than the Nimbus?

I've never understood how anyone can use the pegasus line as a running shoe. I have Peg 39 and recently purchased the Peg 41, and there is no way on earth I would run in them. I use mine as a gym shoe to do circuit, spin sessions in, etc... Admittedly, I've not worn the Peg plus, but owning the Evo SL I would be willing to bet the SL is the better running shoe 😎

Silly comparison. I saw you say that the evo sl was a better version of the Boston than the Boston 12. How would compare the evo to the super nova rise. Two completely different categories. But I’d like to hear that comparison.

What do you think is the New Balance shoe closest to this one? I'd love to get the Adidas, but it's just impossible to get it right now in Canada :(

You've nailed my thoughts on rockered shoes, that they control how you run and feel best while midfoot striking. It's like the shoe is falling away before I get to the toe-off and the lever effect from the big toe is missing.

Is there going to be a classic Pegasus in 2025? Peg 42?

The measurements show one of the many reasons why I don't bother with Nike shoes anymore. I just can't handle them being so narrow in the midfoot. People say that Adidas has narrow shoes, but they tend to fit me just fine.

How does this compare to takumi sen 10 🙏

Nice comparison video! I got lucky and found the Evo SL last week, very fun ride indeed. Now for its training companion, would you say the Adios 9 is one of the best options rn? I am looking for a low stack, nimble shoe for speed/fast reps sessions. Thanks always for the knowledge and level of analysis you bring!

Me: Hmm... maybe I'll pick one of these this year.🤔 Sagasu: Why not both?🤙 My wallet: 🥲 So pretty much the same in terms of versatility, they just get there in different ways. As such, it seems the Peg Plus could also pair well with the Adios 9. Am I wrong thinking Adidas and Nike seem to be converging a little?

How is the outsole of Adios 9? On par with Continental rubber?

✓ or ///

Can you compare the evo sl with the asics novablast 5?

Totally agree these shoes are amazing im hooked on them and I like the wider front toe box with my 2E wide foot / usually don’t like adidas cuz of the toe box - it’s so much fun to run in.

I love my Nike Pegasus Plus. I used about 10 pairs of the Pegasus 39 over the last few years. I am currently using my second pair of Boston 12. The Pegasus Plus is the wonderful shoe.

There you go 🎉🎉😅 thank you!

Never clicked a video so fast. (2)

Never clicked a video so fast.

I owe a GTX version on Velocity 3 for already 3 weeks and 80 km ;). I just could not withstand an 85 Euro offer. Bought it as wet cold day option in my rotation. The shoe is really nice as a daily trainer keeping my feet dry and warm. It has however the small merits in temperature profile. The EVA layer and outer rubber start to stiffen from below ~4-5C (41F) reducing a bit the cushioning. I run once even at -5C (23F) an it was really plastic sound at each ground contact. Yet Niro layer still worked, but you really feel the direct contact with the ground. I admit, it was already off-purpose use of GTX shoes, as it could not be wet at -5C ;). I still have Saucony Ride 17 with (650 km on it) in my rotation, and these were definitely more cushioning at negative C with their full-stack beaded TPU. From 5C (it was maximally +8C (46,5 F) so far) both shoes are on par from easy cruising seed up to marathon effort. I always do 4-6 15s sprints at the end of the easy run and here I was really surprised with the Velocity 3 performance. It looks like that nitro foam has no problem with 230-240 cadence. With Ride 17 you feel like on the sand. At sprint effort they compress significantly more as Velocity, but have not enough time to give you the energy back.

Subbed. Great review. 🫶🏼

I have the ZF6 mainly for workouts. Would you recommend using it for long runs 25km or more?

Anyone know what shirt he is wearing?

Hey Sagasu. Awesome to see your review comparisons of Adidas EVO SL vs Superblast 2 and Zoomfly 6!! Very thorough / detailed analysis!! Just wondering, how would you compare all 3 of these shoes with: Hoka Mach X2 and also Saucony Endorphin Speed 4? Those are two other solid tempo trainer shoes. Apologies if you have already covered this. Cheers

Great review! Thank You!! 🤍🤗⚘️

Currently waiting my Evo SL to arrive. Lucky me, I found Evo SL at 135USD here in Indonesia. I went true to size, can't wait to try the ESL and compare it with my ZF6.

Love your channel! By theway, When do you Think Boston 13 is coming out?

Just got the ZF6 i really enjoyed it but it aint a peg plus in speed despite the platr and higher stack
