My Adidas Boston 12 has 1500 plus kms!! And i usted them today for a Nice tempo run of 13 km! The pop is there and the grip to! I resole only the heel poetion with a specialist and is working! Is My Best for long runs and tempo runs

Ed i have a question bro i use size 12 is like You, i have the adiós pro 3 in size 12 and fis largue for the Pro 4 in going for a 12 because Many says that fits shorts so i think that a 12 is like an 11.5? The anorher question is the Evo SL You bought size 12 or 11.5 fits largue i Heard ao i thinking of Buy a size 11.5?

Edd do Nike do such a thing as a stability shoe these days?

I recently got a pair on discount. Love the responsiveness. My one concern is that from the very beginning when i tried the shoes on, the left one was making a clicking sound with every step. Then I went for a 10k run and the noise increased. Now it isn't just a click, but also a squeaky sound with each step. Has someone else experienced the same? Some redditors suggest that a rod might be broken. That would be such a shame as I literally used the shoe once for that 10k. The performance isnt compromised at all as far as I know. It is just the annoying sound

Grip extremely good at a damp and leafy Battersea Park 5k the other night. A lot of fun to run fast in

I got the version 2 for $120,but I'm sure i could have gotten it cheaper, wasn't able to get that pretty orange sunset color I think the rebel v4 would be my next buy

No surprise that a 26yr old died of cardiac arrest on the run and sad that the organisers have not responded to all the negative feedback and made the start time earlier next year. Portway on a hot day is a death stretch. Apparently there was a lot of people needing medical support as the final wave was apparently after 11:30. I would never risk my life for this run. You'd think given the experience of the organisers, they'd have some common sense.

Would you recommend then for Treadmill running?

Happy Xmas Ed! 🎉

Hello im a sprinter. And I think about buying this shoe for drills and easier 100m-400m repeats. Is this shoe stable eough?

Minimalist shoe runners?

Can i use this for a marathon? I am a slow runner, will finish 42km in 6 hrs

" What am I chopped liver" 🤨 Topo Cyclone 2. Take the crescent moons 🌙 off the Cyclone 2 and replace them with 3 stripes and call it the Adidas Adios Cyclone 2. It would be flying off the shelf as fast as the Superblast 2. Topo Cyclone 3 coming in January. Budda Bing Bada Banger Bing Crosby with David Bowie doing " Peace on Earth" and " Little Drummer Boy"

Got the Adios 8 last month but only done a couple of runs in it. Brings back the fun to running. I can’t fit into a Takumi Sen which sucks 😔 Might try the Evo SL once it comes out on general release

Did all my races and “fast” work in the effective Adios 1 before Vaporflys so was pleased to see a few pairs of these in my UK 13.5 late last night and picked up a pair. Was thinking could be for some intervals on firm trails or track as I often did with these in past. Besides looks like could be my lightest “Road” shoe.

Just looking at the black version as a lifestyle shoe! Beautiful ♥as you say but as a larger runner I'll stick with the max cushioning shoes :)

Get yourself a present at £99 from startfitness 🎉. P.S. They are amazing for 5k, 10k races and tempo

I’ve bought a pair for track workouts and interval sessions. Hopefully they’re perfect for that.

The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 and SL2 rank among my top five running shoes this year

There’s no way that’s going to 10k for me, I mean there’s so many better options, 100 metres would be my limit on a good day.

Interesting observation on this shoe being like the old Takumi Sen (pre 8) and the new Takumi Sen being the Adios. Also... CPU outsoles are bulletproof...the outsole on this shoe should be the most durable part of it. If it is like other CPU outsoles the shoe should be falling apart before the outsole even shoes any wear at all. I'll be curious on your thoughts on the AP4 when you get one.

jeez,i remember when the adios were the go-to marathon shoe just a few years ago. i remember Kimetto setting the marathon wr in the 3s,now the adios looks like a track spike compared to today's higher stack marathon shoe. i rocked the 4s in '18 for a philadelphia half marathon

Sound effects at 1:37 had me dying 😂

The outsole durability will be like the old Nike Mayfly. If you heel strike at all…probably not going to last very long. Definitely seems to be a direct competitor for the Streakfly.

Great review as always! I will probably skip this one and probably pick up another adios 8 on discount. I loved the 8 for track sessions and shorter races. This one with the narrow heal, just seems less stable. Maybe I’ll try it down the line when the 9 is on sale as it’s hard to argue with the price.

Looks more like a nice street shoe than a proper runner…

I am actually more excited by this shoe than EVO SL. Great value, IMO decent outsole, light!!! Definitely great speed day shoe! This will replace my Takumi Sen 8 in such workouts.

I got the ADIDAS GEL CUMBLUS this year, upgraded from the Nike Vemero 16.

Full shoe room tour, when

I had to roll my shins out after watching this review due to the stack. Thanks for what you do Ed, hope you and your family have a good Christmas if we don't see you before then

Is the lightstrike pro in this one like the LS pro in the Adios Pro 4, or like the old formulation in the Pro 3 and EVO SL?

I'm excited! This is the type of shoe i've been waiting for. Max cushion, high stack shoes just mute the excitement of running for me. Thanks,, Edd!

Glad you mentioned a track spike because that’s what I was going to say it reminded me of. You have been rocking these for years so cool to see you got the newest drop. Think I may buy a pair of these and use them for driving shoes😂.

Glad you’re in good spirits! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm!

I’ll be waiting for the adidas sales season to come before I pick up this shoe just for comfort walking. They usually have nice colorways after a few months of introduction.

Thank you for the review! Interesting shoe but maybe not for me this time around. 🤔 I still think the Adios 6 was great!

Ed. Can I offer some criticism? Lately you may not always be reviewing based on intended use case, and I remember a few years ago you raved and rated the adios 7 as one of your favorite shoes of that year. Now it’s been upgraded from regular LS and now it’s full LSP. But the use case is a racer. If you don’t like that type of a shoe, you shouldn’t knock the ratings because it has a thin heel, or whatever. The use case for this shoe should be on its own scale. Can you categorize your scale based on intended use? No racer flats have fat heels, right? The adios 7 was niche and you loved it. I just don’t understand this review when you compare your reaction to its breathren.

Not sure about the enormous 3 stripes on the shoe tbh, think if I had the Adios 8 I'd stick with that 😊

I don't really like that all of the latest Adidas shoes look almost identical. Not much in the way of design. But if they function well....

It's amazing how a can always find a video of the theme that i'm searching for on your channel. I need shoes for my speed workouts, fartlek, tempo, intervals etc... I was thinking between Adidas Boston 12 and Saucony Speed 4, never thought about Puma. what do you think? Thanks.

Great 👌 review Edd-ios Budd

With my wide foot I’d be down to 10mm stack after five minutes. So confused by all these Adidas shoes now.

Entry-level Adios isn't a heel striker's shoe (the message was a bit faded with Adios 8, but it was loud and clear with Adios 6/7). From a tactical point of view, now that entry-level Adios finally weighs less than Takumi Sen, it starts making more sense.

Hi Ed, can you compare the adios 9 perhaps with the puma liberate nitro 2? What shoe would you prefer?

Im currently running most of my daily and speed ks in the adios 8. Unfortunately the 9 doesnt look like it will be up to that task. The outsole looks to be much more minimal. It looks an awesome shoe but i dont think it can do the low stack daily stuff that the 8 was great for.

We racing snakes are just waiting for this shoe for track sessions and saving the spikes only for race day.

No brainer getting these.

Watch Sagasu Running. He has a great explanation about the lightraxion and all the new tech in adios shoes now.

I'm definitely p1§§3d off by the marketing policy Adidas has lately been up. You can't tease thousands of potential customers giving a zillion pairs of shoes to reviewers one year before they're actually available for sale (at full retail price, of course), maybe through a stupid lottery shitstem. Adidas, you're not selling the Holy Grail ! Only damn running shoes ... Shame on you. After this well deserved rant, I'd say the Adios 9 is a shoe I'd had planned to buy, when and if ever available to the general public...

Light-Traxion outsole is CPU (Cast polyurethane) some stuff the chinese use on their run shoes. Sagasu told it is super durable. (His vid on A pro4, outsole.) I believe. Time will tell.
