That is a huge weight loss from the last generation to the newer! This reminds me of the Mizuno's Wave Sky 8 that lost near 45g from the version 7. Great job Adidas. 👏

FYI- the link to this video from your website is shown as the Prodigo Pro

First Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. !!! Merry Christmas!!!!.

Thanks for the review! How would you compare these to the mafate speed 4 and the prodigio pro? Thank you!

Curious how this is different from the More? Too much stack height. Loss of flexibility up front. Really like the 14 and may stock up. Looking forward to your full review.

Nice looking shoes ,not a fan of high stack shoes,very happy with the more traditional speed elite hyper model from a couple of years ago,makes you want to go fast

Any update on this? Title says 'initial'

Think it will be the shoe of the year for 2025,but too they could have come up with a better name

I love white shoes but after 1 run it’s over .

This vs genesis?? Any preference?

005 already? Did they just skipped 004?

My problem with Hoka is their overly narrow toe box. I can’t just purchase the wide model as the rest of my foot is very narrow. This looks narrow to me as well so unfortunately I’ll have to pass. The Nimbus is much more accommodating based on my past experience with both shoes.

So the toe box is no good😮? I need wide toe box. Will getting a half size bigger help with the toe box?

Very interested in the aero tempo. The price for what you get is a favorable to the consumer ratio. Hopefully they offer them in my US size 14. Skechers has been hit or miss with their size runs this past year on their performance running shoes. Also, the razor lineup starting with the 4 had a narrower forefoot than predecessors and the midsole was less lively than the 3. The conceit, I believe, was that the rocker became more apparent. For me, I preferred a livelier midsole that made me work a bit harder. It felt faster. The 4 was more of a cruiser that let the rocker do the work at the cost of the pop of the hyperburst

Such a great review, Mike! Thanks for all of the hard work!

Great review Mike best reviews when running in real time so you’ve gone up a full size?🤔is this a 2024 shoe or 2025 for your best off 😉

Great vid and thanks ! How does this shoe do on a long trail (20+ mile) in terms of comfort to Brooks Caldera 7/8 and On Cloudsurfer Trail (most comfy I've ever worn) ?

Okay I usually dont like black running shoes but those are nice

Dang, this looks perfect for running here in Colorado. Not surprised given Anton was involved, but really looking forward to this one!

Which is faster?

Mike P & @ConversationalPace (Magnum&Jesus) best trail running reviews. Awesome. Ankle collar. Big W. Great tongue: Another W. This and the Merrel Adapt Matryx on the top of my list for 2025.

Very excited about these but disappointed to hear that they run wide. I have always done well the traditional more narrow LaSportiva fit

How technical could you go? Have a sky mtn race, lots of above tree line, ridge running(walking). Would they stand up? Was thinking NF Off Trail TR, but like the run ability of these. Thanks

Thanks Mike, I rate your explanation with a 💯 and it motivates me to leave Hoka Mafate for these Sportiva Prodigio Pro Merry Christmas 🤗🙏

I’ve died and gone to Heaven. Yes!!! Sold!!! I have the reg Prodigio and thought it was the beginning of exciting things from LS. ❤

Next level Mike! Looking forward to this one.

what brand is that blue coat?

Tu pourrais donner le poids et ta taille de chaussures ? Merci

Would this Prodigio Pro compete with the new VJ Ultra 3? Any plans to review the VJ?

This is one of few shoes i will pay full price for this year

For your written review, I’d love to see a comparison between this and the new Speedland GL PDX.

Looks like a great shoe, and nice review! Comment about the sizing, when a shoe is off that much (a full size) it makes it difficult for stores to order properly and sell the shoe. It also creates a lot of overhead with returns and exchanges. It's crazy to me that a company in 2024 can't figure out their sizing.

Prodigio Pro some kind of Tecton X3 without plate.

Thanks for the great review. 2 questions: For both models do you use the same size? If you had to combine Prodigio Pro with another trail shoe to your quiver, what would you recommend? Merry Xmas!

I've used the Bondi since the first year they came out. That's running 18 miles a week and after 52 weeks I would buy another pair. It worked well with me and helped me by avoiding plantar fasciitis . The big problem I had was the outer sole that would wear out after about 8 to 9 months and then I would need some shoe goo to build up the lateral rear outer sole for the last 3 months. When Hoka decided to keep the Bondi 8 around for 2 years , I left them and started to run and walk with the Asics Nimbus 25. That shoe is everything that the Bondi is and as of 9 months now there is no significant wear in the outer sole. This is a major statement since I was a Hoka guy way before they became popular. The Nimbus line works for me really well and I can get a pair in the 25s and the 26s for $99 and $120 respectively. You always get discounts on previous models especially when a company comes out with newer models every year. I'm thinking it took 2 years for Hoka to come out with the Bondi 9 because the 8 was still selling very well.

Comparing these shoes, which one is the most and least flexible: Ghost Max 2, Altra Via FWD, Bondi 9, Glycerin Max, and Nimbus 27?

Thanks for this dude! This is the review I needed to solidify my anticipation. I really appreciate all the detail you go into and all of the in action shots. One of the best reviews I've seen in a long long time. Great work!

best review as always ! thanks ! it might be a new replacement for my old catamount 3 for me

A good job, Mike. Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. !!! Merry Christmas!!!.

seems lilke a good S/lab Genesis alternative (with better stability?) from La Sportiva! ... I love my regular Prodigios and am really interested in those pros... is the toe protection stiffer than the regular Prodigios? that's the one thing I'm a bit skeptical on my regular ones, especially on gnarly mountain terrain. thanks!

What is this jacket do you wear ?

What about size with the version pro 2025 , you have the same size with prodigio 2024? For me It s 10.5 us in version prodigio 2024. Thanks

Thanks for this review! 🤩 How do you think the prodigio pro would behave on very technical terrain (i live nearby the Alps)? I'd love a comparison with the salomon ultra glide s/lab ultra glide 😁 Keep up the good work!

Great informative review. Good detail. I'm a bit worried about width as I have a pretty narrow foot. But guess I'll need to try a pair on.

Great information! Looks like one to try. Thank you!

Great review. Thanks!

I really liked your review because I was practically giving up on this shoe after reading some reviews and opinions about how soft it is. I prefer firmer shoes because they are clearly more responsive for me. But it was great that you made a comparison with the NB Elite v2 and v3, commenting that this model, despite being soft, responds well and has a different result. I have used many NB shoes in the past, but after the Rebel v2 and Elite V3 I simply gave up on the brand, because its foam is at a level too soft for me. If there is no total revolution in NB regarding the midsole foam of its performance shoes, I will never use a shoe from this brand again. But maybe I will give the Saucony Elite 2 a chance. I have the Elite 1 and for me it works very well.

Sam, we watch your videos because we appreciate your viewpoints. If we can’t hear what you’re saying what’s the point? I am interested in the Puma Magmax comparison…but I couldn’t hear it. 🤷‍♂️ Can you elaborate? Thanks! 🙏

Real shame about losing the quick stash pocket. I also wonder where they've made the weight savings? Online says it's like 50g lighter.

Don't call it a comeback 😂
