ADIDAS ADIZERO ADIOS 7 - INITIAL REVIEW - BEST SHOE OF 2022 SO FAR! - EDDBUD

[@a.s.6616]

I got adios 7 few weeks ago, week before my sprint triathlon. So far, love it, smashed my 5k time by 2:30 min on those tired legs!

[@waynecanning7471]

You said you were releasing this video today. So I took my Adios 6 shoes out for an hour run today. Dedicated my run to Edd 'Adios' Bud.

[@EDDBUD]

👍🏼👊

[@matthewledvina8323]

Adios 6 were such a perfect shoe. Just throw them on and go. No mess no fuss. Mine are over a year old now and the outsole is barely worn down! they are the most nimble shoes I’ve ever run in. Can’t wait to pick up the 7s!!!

[@EDDBUD]

Can’t agree more. They are a top value shoe with some design craft and subtlety. Something many shoe lack.

[@ben_365]

I'm up to 414 miles now in my adios 6 and they are still going strong. I use them for tempo runs, track and park runs and they always feel like a bit of a secret weapon. It's a mystery to me that more people don't pick these up. I'm sure that if they had a Nike swoosh down the side they would be on everyone's feet.

[@EDDBUD]

Evidence right there to show the longevity.

[@dan-zo4eb]

@@EDDBUD Where did you find such a good discount for these please , Can never find any for Adidas that actually work against shoes that you want to buy

[@polobuncharsiew]

i feel that it suits people landing on forefoot more as the light strike pro covers there. heel strike doesn't generate much energy return or squishy feel due to the lightstrike foam

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

My adios 4 lasts forever before it dies on me because it’s already a firm ride from the start and the BOOST foam lasts. I wear out the rubber before the midsole gives out They perform just as well as any supershoes. Ran marathons in them and they felt fine. Great ground feel, much more nimble than any supershoes. Personal taste I suppose. The only clear advantage supershoes have over these racing shoes is recovery. You do recover faster with supershoes . But well, there’s a also a big price difference 😄

[@NB-fw5bv]

De ja vu for me... I got mine for £67 and I still go back to them.. And say oh yes, hello old friend, it just does everything I throw at it. The grip is awesome, it just works and works well

[@fiftysteps]

You've done it again Edd. Just ordered my pair of Adios 7. My 6's are still going strong but interesting to see that these new ones are a bit more versatile.

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

haha! Leonard Nemoy .. you have really gone deep into the old record shop looking for the obscure. love it (oh yes the shoe, I have the 6 in my rotation, will likely get the 7 when the 6 has been sent to the salvation army)

[@EDDBUD]

Great price by all accounts. Enjoy 👍🏼

[@omgeoh]

A bit late but I just purchase these for $54 on the Adidas website. Been on a Nike shoe run the last couple years and for me Adidas is just better in the running department. Better looking and more durable. My Ultraboost 19s are still running strong meanwhile my recent Nikes are wasted.

[@sneakerprofiler]

Another beautiful adi-runner, solebrother. I may try it towards the end of the year. ✌🏽💙🏃🏽‍♂️

[@EDDBUD]

It’s a lovely shoe Amado. Again a classic three stripe design and careful changes to what was already a superb shoe from 2021.

[@brokenfreddy7676]

Good to hear they work for you..I can't use any adidas shoes that have that torsion plastic gizmo in the midsole..about like being slapped with a steel strap on the bottom of your foot..I like the Takumi Sen 8,the midsole of the pro 3 and surprisingly the SL20.2, which I've heard bad things about..1 positive for them is the outsole..traction is great..the SL20.2 makes a great park run shoe cos the ground,the grass and gravel all cushion enough to take the bite out of a 5k racing shoe..I use these types as my speed shoes for dirt,grass and gravel..fortunately adidas and others make cushioned shoes for pavement and longer runs..besides variety is definitely the spice of life..watching others choices of shoes is a great pastime of mine..

[@paulboyd-leslie4065]

I absolutely loved the Adios 3 and haven’t been back for recent models but will give this a go. Just bought some Peg 39 for the first time though!! Doh

Nothing wrong with the 39. Good daily shoe. Enjoyed my miles on those.

@@EDDBUD possibly a good rotation with the Adios 7 then and also have the mighty 30% code with adidas for nearly all of my points!! 😢

[@jwrubell]

If it helps, I also totally loved the Adios 3 and after my last pair died last year I moved to the Adios 6. I was skeptical at first but now I can't get enough. Thoroughly enjoyable shoes. I imagine I'll get a pair of Adios 7s eventually as well.

[@silviup4615]

Still got my Adizero pros for track intervals. Once i am done with them probably will give the Adios 7 a shot.

[@QronoZ713]

Could never get a good lockdown in the v1. Laces too firm together with the thin tounge. Comparing to my old Boston 7, what a difference in fit and materials. Boston 7 all the way...

[@Dwoollam]

Love the adios 6. Apart from the tongue, it’s too stiff and hurts my toes. Pity as when it doesn’t hurt it’s a banger

[@alanfinn77]

Super informative video!

[@EDDBUD]

Much appreciated Alan 👍🏼👊

[@aristodiga82]

I really wanted to buy the adios 6. But when I tried it on the store, the very narrow midfoot platform makes my low arch hanging on the medial side of the shoe, while the rest of the shoe fits perfectly. Not the shoes' fault. I have this weird narrow but low arched foot. pretty gutted.. 😐

[@Umbhaki]

Im afraid to say adidas have screwed up this once great line of shoe. Got the 7s, they falling apart after only a few months, the internet is littered with reviews complaining about this. Either adidas redesign or they loose a lot of die hard fans

[@EDDBUD]

The Adios 8 is very different.

[@Umbhaki]

thats good to know, hopefully a little stronger, if they also fall apart after only 3 months of light use, then we have a problem :) Typically i have used all the other adios versions for about 16 months of running, prob clocking up about 1600km of running, and then after retiring them due to cushioning degradation, i carry on using them as normal shoes for a further 3-5 years! no chance of that with these new flimsy iterations :( I do appreciate the super light feel, but we need them to last! @@EDDBUD

[@hammerexx9287]

Damn u Edd. Had to order a pair... 🤣 Even though I just got the pro and speed 3 and loving them both. But tried the wide version because the 6 was narrow. Hopefully this will be 👍

[@hammerexx9287]

Found a 30 % discount which is mad!

[@dhammarosi]

Haha, this has happened to me as well, buying shoes i didn't need because of Edd. 😂 I had to make myself avoid this channel for months because i kept buying new shoes. He should be sponsored seeing how many shoes he sells

[@sergiocaet]

I'm running the Adios 6 and it is amazing. No intention to go to Takumi Sen.(I still run an Adios 4 sometimes) By the way, the real score for the outsole is 2.9, as spoken, or 2.8, per final summary?

[@EDDBUD]

If the 6 works then no need for the sen. Not sure what happened with the scores there. Either way it’s right up there. Go with my spoken score. 🤣

The 7 looks good but really couldn’t get on with the Adios 6. Far too firm and rather narrow for me, so it’s a pass on this one! Great video though! 👍

[@brownfox1540]

Would you consider this shoe viable for lifestyle use, or is the upper too minimal?

[@EDDBUD]

Bit firm perhaps for that use

[@vishnups954]

How about the cushioning in the adios7 .Do my feet hurt after 10 k run

[@EDDBUD]

Love mine. Perfect balance of weight and cushion

[@ianstyring9602]

Edd, which is the better shoe for 5k/10k, Adios 7 or Asics Meta Speed?

[@EDDBUD]

Hmmm. If you like less forced curve in the shoe the adidas is the one. Magic speed is quite a controlling feel.

[@polobuncharsiew]

wait till takumi sen 9 arrived!

[@EDDBUD]

Oh gosh now that is one I’m very excited for without any sight of the shoe.

[@MrPabb77]

U said that it is good for a 10k and 1/2 marathon race. Would you use it in a full marathon?

[@EDDBUD]

No not too minimal and firm for me for the 26.2. 👍🏼

[@achillesazi]

With the adios 6 on sale, is it worth it to get the adios 7 or save some money and go with the adios 6? Am i going to miss anything more other than the weight? Thanks!

[@EDDBUD]

Both are great. The heel on the 6 is a little more padded for slightly more weight. A great conundrum though between the two you can’t go wrong.

[@leighsmith7740]

Could these be used on longer runs (marathon training) I have Boston 10’s but I don’t like the big unstable bottoms on them. Thanks!

[@EDDBUD]

Lovely shoe but lower distance for me due to the more minimal cushion

[@delfino19777]

Omg just saw the grey version and i have a 30% birthday voucher that is going to expire in 2 weeks. I really don't need more shoes but at $91 can i really let it go?

[@EDDBUD]

It’s a great shoe if you like a bit more response and a narrower heel. Less bulk and more performance.

[@justin94block]

What nike shoes is comparable to this???

[@EDDBUD]

Maybe the rival fly or Pegasus

[@Pipppetto]

Getting mad to save a tenth of ounce with see-through heel counter and making such an ugly suede bumper in the front sounds to me like the perfect oxymoron. And its flashing white totally ruins the otherwise sweet racing line colorway. I'd probably buy them anyway, because I like all the other good stuff Adidas put into for a daily trainer/tempo/moderate racer shoe at a reasonable price, but frankly I'd be compelled to choose a less embarrassing colorway; your comparison to the Ford Capri says it all ... ;-)

[@EDDBUD]

What a strange comment. I loved the shoe before and they have made some great changes to the upper. I happen to like the style of this one. Looks awesome and rides awesome.

[@Pipppetto]

@@EDDBUD No doubt shoe quality is great ! Most of all, as I understand from your thorough review, it's absolute versatility is the key. Aestethically preference are as a matter of fact, a very subjective issue. To me, that white suede toebox on black upper is a slap in the face. Or a stomp on my weaker foot, as far as we're talking about shoes ;-)

Your review of the Adios 6 convinced me to pick them up and they didn't disappoint!!! My first ever pair of Adidas running shoes and they fit like a glove 😌

[@EDDBUD]

Like a glove. The classic phrase!

[@TimGrose]

Is that the highest score you have ever given? I have to give adidas full marks for finally offering these in my TTS UK 13.5 after years of "squeezing" into them :) In this day and age they are rather a throwback to shoes of old when less was more especially for racing type ones although these were a lot more cushioned than they actually looked so aren't "flats" per se. Have to remember marathon world records were set in earlier versions of this shoe and I used to use them (well Adios 1) for all my workouts and races including a marathon until about 4 years ago. Got to like a relatively firm shoe but they did seem to soften up a bit after a few miles. They are probably a bit narrow for many runners (so fit me great!) but there is a wide version don't forget. I have also picked up the Boston 11 and it is pretty much the same but just beefed up so a bit more obvious for daily training and longer runs. Despite the weight I rather liked it and think they compliment each other well perhaps unlike when the Boston was only a bit more than the Adios.

[@EDDBUD]

Enjoying it very much. Not the highest ever but it’s a great lower ( well more reasonable ) priced shoe. 👍🏼

[@sneakerprofiler]

@Tim Grosse what will you do with all that “extra” room?!? 😂 I’m glad you will be able to give this one a proper go. Credit to for years of making the best of it. ✌🏽💙🏃🏽‍♂️

@@TimGrose you are definitely a trooper. I have idea how you stay healthy with what you go through in the too small shoes. It must be your extensive racing background. I get crazy shooting pain from my heel to my hamstring if a shoe is too small. ✌🏽💙🏃🏽‍♂️

@@sneakerprofiler Think my feet have got effectively slightly longer in the last 10 years or so as I was a UK 12 (or 12.5 in some brands) for many years.

[@DeeGee69]

Interesting take Edd! I still only have 60km in my Adios 6, they feel so firm (and loud)... I guess I didn't break them (I run 90-100k a week these days so I enjoy some cushioning) ... vs 200km in my Noosa Tri 14 for a similar use case. Btw did you receive my email with a link to a strava post showing the Prime X after 600km? Sent it a few weeks ago.

[@EDDBUD]

Hey David. I will include that pic in a video soon. I certainly think the Adios 6/7 is for those after less cushion and more or a race / pace feel. 👍🏼

[@QronoZ713]

I have mine at about 300 km. They don't feel any better, actually kind of worse. And I'm somone who usually prefer firmer, lighter shoes. It's just so clunky and the fit is so strange. Much prefer the old Boston.

[@MiracleWarriors]

I'm sure that this Adidas Adizero Adios 7 is awesome ! The Adios 6 was amazingly pleasurable to run with it. About the Boston 11 , it continues to be a " strange" running shoe but the Nike Zoomfly 5 joined the "strange" team. If you can do a comparison between these two shoes will be awesome. I'm waiting to receive my Boston 11 ... the Adios 7 will have to wait a a little longer for me.

[@surajtripathi3624]

Adios6 is excellent. I have run 300km till date with minimum wear. Really best

[@EDDBUD]

Yes superb longevity Suraj. Brilliant shoe all round.

[@runningwithstelvio]

Nice review as usual. The Adios 7 is definitely my favorite shoe so far. The only thing didn't work well, unfortunately, at least in my case, is the foot lockdown which was better in the Adios 6, but it is not a deal breaker... Thanks for the video!

[@EDDBUD]

[@billeva8457]

Oh man Edd you totally convinced me to try these out. 😍 This will be my first run in a pair of Adidas ever. 🤞For less than $100 how could I resist 🙃

[@urbandiversion7410]

I have x4 pairs of the Adios 6 (one unused in box ((saving those)). Clocking over 200 miles in two of the pairs and over 100 miles in the 3rd. I fell in love with these based on your reviews and just had to stock up so as not to wear them out too quickly. Talking versatility, I ran a 60km trail and road ultra in them on Saturday and had no issues, legs felt fresh the next day !! So I’m really, really, really eager to hear what you have to say about these before I squirrel some into the rotation without my wife knowing !!

[@EDDBUD]

A seriously good and underrated shoe. Glad you are really feeling these.

[@EDDBUD]

I say go a half up personally.

[@krishollyman143]

I love the adios 6 I use it for all my parkruns and 5k races ,only problem I had with it was as a heavier runner with a bit of a heel strike ,the torsion system at the back used to ground out and make it quite firm ,,a quick going over it with a Dremel sorted it out though

[@boogieuhuh]

I had blisters using the adios 7, even after I used cushion socks with it. blisters on my toes, on my soles, and heels. Probably the worst adidas pair I have. And I bought it because of this review.

[@EDDBUD]

Amazed you can’t get on with the shoe. A superb model

[@Reggy9]

Blisters on toes mostly are sizing issues.

[@ScentNomad]

One of my very favourite shoe with less weight and an even nicer upper - this one is on my list for sure. I agree, they should have done something about the outsole pattern, but that magic mix of Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro totally makes up for it. That colorway is absolutely sweet, too. Thx a ton for a mouthwatering 1st impression!

[@Dave-kq9cv]

I’m not sure why they didn’t go smoother on the outsole. Continental rubber is great. Never had a problem on wet surface or gripping with continental tyres on my bike.

[@ac-vp9mh]

The upper is too thin its starting to rip at the forefoot inner area after 130km. Superglue and tubeless rimtape applied lest the Continemtal outsole goes to waste. I think that's why it wenr on 50% markdown last December for my true to size

[@livegreatalways]

I have both the adios 6 and boston 10. I like both of them. The adios 6 is an everyday shoe for me, do-it-all. The boston 10 on the other hand whilst heavy it is a really nice cruiser for those long pacy runs. It just go and locked-in the pace. The zoom fly 5 cannot be compared to the boston 10 😅. Tq Edd.

[@EDDBUD]

I found there isn’t much of a difference between the zoom fly 5 and Boston 10. Heavier shoes in my higher size and not without their pros and cons.

[@KubaSobecki]

I almost bought the shoe after your review especially when I could get it for like €70 in a limited time promo. But then I came across a lot of complaints from people having chafings, blisters and even bleeding from their small toes because of the lacing on the top outer side of the upper. Many of them reported tears in the upper in the same area, right behind the stripe of fabric. That's probably because the shoe is so narrow as you pointed out, but many of complaints come from people with narrow feet, that never had such issues with other running shoes in their life. I'm backing off for now. Not many reviews out there yet, which is kinda weird tbh.

[@dejean7706]

Do you think the tearing happens easily? I dont have narrow feet. I do athletic sprinting and I really like the shoes

[@tomislavdvorski]

do you wear them all in the same size?

[@indorock]

Funny how slept on the Adios line is nowadays, to the point of people calling it a "daily trainer" type of shoe. Lest we forget that before the dawn of the Vaporfly 4% / EVA & carbon plated era, the marathon WR was set in the version 1 of the Adios, by Haile Gebreselassie!! This shoe was once upon a time the fastest in the world!

[@EDDBUD]

The Adios 7 absolutely hits the spot.

[@0herbier0]

Adios 6 is a superb shoe and I totally agree with the outsole recommendation, I'm reaching towards the lightstrike pro in the forefoot after about 300 miles. And i managed to punch a hole through the upper owing to my big toe. I still have a spare pair I picked up for about 40 pounds. Will be getting this for sure 👌

[@EDDBUD]

Can’t loose for £40! Amazing shoe

[@ortegaray5]

One of my worst runs I’ve had, not complaining about the sole of the shoe, it was the upper material that hurts, when running the materia would crease in to my feet and it would dig in my toes like if I had sand every time, the lockdown for me was average it felt a bit loose from the back, it needs some more padding, the upper killed this shoe for me too stiff not pleasant and it does feel clunky I don’t like this shoe after my first run, will still give it another chance because I did play football (soccer) the prior day so my feet might be a bit tender after playing, but first run with these wasn’t pleasant.

[@theflameimperishable5408]

Would you do track intervals ranging from 200-2000m in them? Or better use the Takumi Sen 8 for that? Looking for a “low” stack forefoot/midfoot striker friendly track workout shoe 🤔

[@EDDBUD]

Sen or this one for that. The outsole has more bite than a hungry squirrel.

[@nickatnite16]

I dont know,I found the Adios 6 a bit firm(have the Jackie Joyner-Kersee edition), had the bottom of my feet feeling fatigued. I'll pass on these being it looks too similar to the 6. Hopefully the 8 will bring a total redesign (same wish when the Boston 12 is released nxt yr)

[@_....J........................]

Thanks for the review Edd. I bought the Adios 6 - your review informed part of that decision making. I'm a cheeky little fartlek runner, so I was excited about this shoe. TLDR - I had to bin them, because they kept injuring me, here's why: sizing issues - I'm a natural UK 8.5, when adidas can get their shit together that makes me a UK 9. Adios 6, I tried UK9, UK9.5, UK10, UK10.5 - that's how fucked up their sizing is here, LOL. The UK9.5 positioned my heel, arch, and ball of foot perfectly, but the toe box just chopped the tips my little toes - I have narrow feet with a high arch. So, I HAD no option but to select the UK10 - which allowed my toes perfect spread, but positioned the ball of my foot in the wrong place, and left the ankle slipping. I ended up with sprains in groin, knees, and ankles. I'm thinking that this shoe is probably great for tall people with big feet. I didn't like the Dutch Clog clippity cloppity sounds it makes when you speed walk either. This shoe is seriously flawed. I have also discovered that I hate foam outsole running shoes in general after fucking with Saucony Peregrins, and Asics GEL-NIMBUS (over the past couple of years) - more injuries! I do a lot of trail running, and parkour too - the ultraboost terrex agravic flows were perfect for these activities - but they too have been discontinued and replaced with this litestrike crapola - in the SL20.2 stack - for a trail shoe! I enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work!

how bout the sizing on these? Im using uk10.5 in SL20 v1... My Nike Shoes are Uk10/Euro 45... However, I found that Adios 7 tend to run a bit longer but still have the narrow width.. Should I stay with uk10.5 or pick uk10 instead?

[@EDDBUD]

Half size up I reckon

[@LoponenTheGreat]

I hope they keep the outsole as it is. I run a mix of trails and tarmac with adios 6. The hard packed/grassy trails feel like ice on smooth soles.

[@EDDBUD]

In this case it’s ideal! 👍🏼

[@aimnhakimz]

i love my adios 7 tbh, when you push your pace harder its rewards you, but the quality of the upper....terrible, the upper have been torn for about 2-3 times makes me kinda pissed off with it..i only used it for about 3 months(2-3x every week run)

@@EDDBUD - I zoomed in and enhanced and it turns out they are both eyelets. Mystery solved! 🕵🏻‍♀️

[@EDDBUD]

@@cheekster777 Ahh glad you solved the mystery!

[@mervinw]

Just got back to watching this channel and liked it 8 seconds in.

What's your barefoot score? So would you say this is a better shoe than the Peg 39? Less versatile, but faster and lighter weight? I bought those Invincible 2's and my peg 39's feel like cement now. I may be cursed to always wear squishy shoes now.

[@EDDBUD]

I think it’s down to foam types. Some are better in a lower profile form. Others superb in large stacks. Barefoot on uk roads. No chance.

[@yakiweiss546]

Eddidas man.. You made me want to buy this beautiful shoe 🙂

[@saikatbanerjee291]

@EDDBUD Which training shoe you would recommend for Weekend long runs(20-22 miles). Thank you in advance.

[@EDDBUD]

Long slow runs I would say the nimbus 24 or invincible. The v2 upper is a bit better than the v1.

[@peterryan9962]

I love the look the Adios 7s. ATM I'm using the budget SL20s which are close to rotate out, how do the Adios 7 compare (firmness, responsiveness etc...)?

[@EDDBUD]

Bit more lively up front in the Adios 7. Similar firmness. Lighter and thinner upper.

[@stephengregory8547]

Can you tell me if this fits true to size please? Loved the original SL20 but went half a size up in that. Danke schön

[@EDDBUD]

I would suggest it fits exactly as per the Adios 6.

[@benwharton4181]

I'm looking for an adidas shoe to run my first marathon in October. I currently do almost all of my training in the SL20.2 which I really like (I also use the adistar but I don't get on with that shoe). I don't want to spend the money on the Adios Pro shoes, and wanted your thoughts on using the Adios 6/7 as my race shoe?

[@mileivanov6765]

I have both of them (adios 6 and SL20.2) and I think that SL20.2 is a little bit softer and more forgiving especially if you are doing longer intervals or tempo runs. In terms of speed, thy are almost identical in my case. I prefer the adios 6 for shorter intervals and fartlek runs, but the SL20.2 offers more comfort for tempo runs. I've used the adios 6 for a half marathon race and my legs felt very sore after the race. I would not recommend them for races longer than 10km. For marathon training and racing, I would buy some higher stack and bouncier shoes such the Saucony Endorphin Speed/Pro, Fuelcell RC Elite or the Adios Pro series.

[@Formerly-known-as-Steve]

The 6 rubbed Achilles - I found the back came up really high. Looking on Strava I've a whole 6 miles in them.... I must try them again....(with plasters added perhaps)

[@EDDBUD]

Bit more low profile this time.

[@smoore8]

Does it still have that roll that forces you to pronate onto the big toe on toe off? I loved my 6’s but already roll onto medial side of forefoot when I toe off, as I’m a neutral efficient runner, and the roll to the inside the sole forces in the forefoot gave me Achilles issues. Thanks! I do like the lower more “normal” stack heights of shoes like this. I do not like the rocker sole or high stacks of the majority of todays shoes.

[@EDDBUD]

Not sure I found that roll. A cracking shoe for the cash.

[@robin29991]

Not surprised you're enjoying this so much. It's basically the Adios 6 but lighter, so can't go wrong!

[@EDDBUD]

Yes it hits all the marks!

[@gollum1at]

I had real issues with the tongue of the adios 6, I had to cut it were they now have the modification you mention. Also the laces were too short for a runners knot. I hope the new version improves this. I never understand why laces can be too short, don't they try them on?

[@EDDBUD]

No probs on laces this time. Nice length for the runners knot.

[@nickatnite16]

Still remember when the Adios were the flagship racing shoe(Adios 2 worn by Kimetto as he set the marathon world record),now it's regulated to trainer status

[@EDDBUD]

Yeah that boy could run! Even in an Adios!

[@elliegrimes7712]

I have my 5 and 10km pbs in the adios 6. I couldn’t take it past 10km though as my feet couldn’t hack it. But I love the 6 especially for interval days.

[@EDDBUD]

It’s a great shoe and for the price somewhat underrated.

[@jeroen1989]

Dont exactly know the intended it to be more expensive. Oil and other products used in the midsole and upper became increasingly more expensive...

[@EDDBUD]

Everything is more expensive in the uk right now.

[@b.benjamineriksson6030]

I would like them to have different colours though... I loved the 4s and the 6s.

[@EDDBUD]

There’s quite a few now

[@alanpelosi2955]

Hi ed 😀 , great info 👍, im a long way off running in the paige adios 7 spiranac ( dam fine looking shoe ) , I did notice the big difference in midsole off mcfly 5 and adi 7 over eds right shoulder 🤔 , wow what pictures track your running ed 👍👍 , you might like the sound of the brand cannons if your enjoying nimoy

[@EDDBUD]

Massive midsole difference in those. Ran in the ZF5 this morning and it’s very controlling of my running form.

[@karigrandii]

Picked them up for 55e

[@hannahsbellybed]

Thinking I must be in a minority as I find all the Adidas shoes bloomin ugly

[@EDDBUD]

We all have our own perception of beauty 👍🏼

[@AndroBoy17]

I got adios 7 with 20% discount. My first run with them was amazing. Really enjoy how comfi they are. I love them

[@EDDBUD]

Love this model. Nimble and very good response.

[@tieloo8842]

the photos of the upper look deceivingly narrow brother Edd; is that the case compared to the fit of the Adios 6?

[@EDDBUD]

Same fit as the Adios 6. There’s a wide version if people need it.
