Adidas Adizero SL2: BETTER THAN THE BOSTON 12? First Impressions

ADIDAS SL2: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
#adidasrunning #runningshoesreview #adidas
In this video I give my first thoughts on the Adidas Adizero SL2. Now with more Lightstrike Pro, the SL2 looks very promising and a worthy contender for the best value shoe of the year!

Did you see Tim Grose's video on Shoe reviewers, "2024 Running Shoes - Reviewing the Reviewers". Your channel got a mention! Nice to see he included your channel as I enjoy your reviews.

@@miyufan2692 No I haven't watched it. I'll have to go check it out!

I sized up a half on both yet other Adizeros have been TTS...fit is great,I also find them a tad(maybe5%) too soft but a very enjoyable ride...if they stay at this softness for the duration, then all's good...but I have my doubts.....all in all...a great shoe for the price.

@@user-bx6zm5gj8g Thanks for sharing your experience!

Definitely a bit short but TTS. I found them (running in the shop) so soft and comfortable that I don't know if it is good for a long run and if so soft now how will it be at 225 miles? Remember New Balance SC trainer V2 became a sponge very quick..

[@run-are]

@@i.p2088 Definitely not anywhere near the softness as the SC Trainer for me.

That colorway in the thumbnail looks sick

[@run-are]

@@UserIchi Just a filter but yes I'd love that colour.

[@snowwalker9999]

I ordered those the last pair they had left in the colorway I wanted. I’ll report back after 20K or so. Could you do a comparison with Puma Velocity Nitro 3?

[@i.p2088]

Battle of the Germans.. Definitely both have good quality unlike some Nike shoes lately..

[@run-are]

@@i.p2088 Agree

[@miyufan2692]

Definitely a good value shoe but I recently got the Boston 12 and the Puma Velocity Nitro 3 so there is no room in the inn for this one. I'm looking forward to the Adios 9 and Adios Pro 4 when they release.

I was shocked at how soft this rides. Squish. Left foot noticed the slappiness. Wonder also if a bit less stable. Noticed some soreness. So far though I’m very hopeful and impressed after just one run. Seems like they wanna run a bit faster.

@@MrTthacker98001 thanks for sharing!

[@user-bx6zm5gj8g]

I agree that they feel much better if you up the tempo....a bit soft for me at slow pace but great at steady tempo.

[@rahulmalik5946]

Can we use them daily hard training

[@run-are]

@@rahulmalik5946 sure can

[@i.p2088]

I think that the Boston 12 is super stable and comfortable from the second hour of running.. To stiff for my warmup and first few miles Adizero SL2 was soft and pampering just running around in the shop at jogging pace.. As there is no free lunch something has to give.

[@run-are]

@@i.p2088 The Boston feels slightly softer for me.

[@i.p2088]

​@@run-are I am a heel striker and slow runner but Boston 12 feel so much harder in slow pace..

[@user-sx8rv5pz7u]

​​@@run-are Boston 12 softer than SL2 ? Really 😮

[@FatUglySadMan]

Boston12 for me after 35 miles in SL2 a bit too squishy, nice but soft ain’t good for everyone.

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

Nice pop but there’s zero roll off to the SL2
