ADIDAS ADIZERO TAKUMI SEN 10 VS THE REST | VAPORFLY 3, SC PACER, LIBERATE NITRO | EDDBUD

[@kennethmonroe6939]

Thanks for the comparison review. I have the Takumi Sen 8, and i use it for all speed sessions. Great shoe.

[@imagepoint9726]

I still have two pairs of Adidas Adizero Adios 8 which are my happy shoes. I feel that will not be updating and I will be picking up Takumi Sen 10 when it's time for new runners. Thanks Mr. Midsole!

History tells me that you definitely love your takumi sen’s, good for you.

[@EDDBUD]

Yes they always seem to work for me

[@TheHutchRuns]

Great video Edd, not sure the Sen 10 is a direct comparison tot he Vaporfly 3, would say that Adios Pro 3 is but that's just me. Those adidas uppers don't work for me unfortunately, they end up rubbing the toes on my right foot quite badly!

[@Klian159]

Very interesting, I tried on the Adizero SL and I am now an Adidas fan. I love how it always have massive discounts, the quality and duarability is great, and it delivers more than Nike. So can't believe I am saying this, but Adidas might be better than Nike!

[@EDDBUD]

Not many discounts here in the uk now. They used to even let you use codes on brand new models!

[@robinc.9845]

I did a run on my Boston 12s this morning and was so astonished from the beauty of Adidas Shoes… but if i buy another pair… i get problems at home 😂

[@hahaheslop]

I know that feeling! 😂

[@EDDBUD]

Me too!

[@MyFatAdaptedLife]

Curious how the TS10 will compare against the Pacer2 when it's released this year.

[@zerofugz1621]

I agree with you. The adidas lightstrike is really the best. New balance foam is too soft and drops out. I find this to be the case for a lot of running shoes. Cushioned shoes are on the way out.

[@EDDBUD]

The Boston 12 is a good shoe to mention here. It’s got a nice forgiving yet dense feel. Really consistent to run on.

[@zerofugz1621]

@@EDDBUD Thanks keeping my eye on the Boston 12. Waiting for a sale. By the way the Y-3 Takumi Sen 10 are $350 in the states and the only Takumi Sen 10 available on their website/app.

[@robinc.9845]

Can recommend the Boston 12s, very good Trainer for Speed but also slower runs. It‘s fun to run in and they are suuuuper resilient

[@dasupabros3852]

Having the sen 9 i cant see me wearing them out to need the sen 10. I use them on track only really although i may try them in a 5k soon. I think the pro 3 is superior in every way but the sen 9 do increase cadence a bit and are really light.

[@EDDBUD]

Yeah the 8/9/10 are similar but that’s a good thing. Just subtle improvements.

[@willvm4059]

Great video. My preference for shoes is bounce. What would be the shoe you like with the most bounce. Of my current shoes, the Nike Invincible v1 is my most bouncy. Haven't tried the v3. Interested in people's thoughts.

​@paulmulks thanks. FYI I have asics nimbus 25 an find them soft but not responsive The NB 1080 v13 I find are both soft Nd a little bouncy but not quite like the Nike's

[@bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694]

That's more squashy than bouncy for me. Prime X much bouncier.

[@paulmulks]

@@willvm4059 They were just some suggestions off the top of my head. I'd say it probably wouldn't hurt to go to your local running store and just try a few different pairs on and see what feels good and go from there. Running is very subjective so what works for me might not work for you and so on. I hope you find something that works, give the invincible v3's a shot if you can grab a pair on the cheap 👍🏻

[@willvm4059]

Appreciate yourr input 😊​@paulmulks

[@emmanouilbouzas7850]

Interesting comparison between Takumi and Vaporfly. I got both in my possession and I'm racing a 5K tomorrow. I had made my mind about wearing Vaporfllies as I've raced HM and Marathon with them and I was absolutely satisfied. Though the forecast for tomorrow is rain! And here comes the grip factor. Plus takumi are supposed to be ideal for smaller distances like 5-10K, I only have wore them once in a track speed session of 800m. I loved them more than my previous pair of takumi 9s. Really fast soes! So the question is I run with T or V tomorrow??🤔😅

[@EDDBUD]

For a 5k I reckon go with the shoe you know will have that good traction on toe off. It’s all the counts on that 3.1 blast

[@emmanouilbouzas7850]

Thanks for your reply! I raced the 5K with takumis and luckily I won by a split of a sec lol. So I also used them yesterday in a 10K track race achieving my first sub37 PB. So back on your comparison I'd say love em both, prefer Takumi for 5-10K and Vaporfly for 21-42K! @@EDDBUD

Sen 10 vs Boston 12?

[@RunTommy123]

The Sen is a race dragon and can be used for 440 yard intervals. The Boston is for daily training, so they have their own uses. I have hundreds of miles on my Sen 8s and literally no wear on the Continental rubber

@@RunTommy123 Cool but Edd was saying the Sen 10 is good as a daily

[@RunTommy123]

@@macewindex564 I think the Sen is too narrow of a shoe for daily training. I think it would feel awkward at slower speed. My current rotation is the Sen for speed days and the Rebel V3 and a couple Puma shoes for daily training.

[@macewindex564]

@@RunTommy123 well being narrow is just your foot shape. Edd said it's good for daily runs. i have the sen 8 and love it but i can't do easy runs in them, so wondering if sen 10 is different

[@042766]

Edd-where can I pick these up in this colorway? They are not on the adidas site til March and not in the US. I think they may retail around 180ish USD but not sure. Only place I saw then was at END in London and not even sure places like sports direct etc. are selling them yet. Using my pro 3's for longer races and love the fit so wanted to try these out for shorter races. Thx

[@EDDBUD]

Maybe a uk only version?

I may get them from end - essentially they are the same price as the states (that include tax which end doesn't ) and have a few 10k's/5k's coming up. I love that colorway that you have!

Even marathon shoe for some

[@StadtkindR]

I am thinking about to buy it but a) i have the 9 and he is still very good and b) the price is not really sexy. If you take the price and buy a Asics Metaspeed Sky / Edge you will get maybe much more than a 5-10 or may 21km running shoe.

[@aditudose4762]

Hi Edd! Is takumi sen 10 the same in sizing with 9 and 8? Thank youu!

[@EDDBUD]

I found it about the same. Perhaps now it’s a touch longer in the sen 10.

[@tomek7000tj]

Isn't Takumi 8-9-10 direct competition & most similar to Nike Streakfly? Well 3 versions of Takumi in last years and still Streakfly 1 😁 so it's obviously visible which one is still the best 💪😁 Would like to try Takumi's but still sticking to Streakfly 👍🙂

[@MiracleWarriors]

I will never understand why Adidas did not turn the "normal" Adios what the Takumi Sen has become since version 8. Would make more sense to me to have the Adios Pro 3 as the marathon racer shoes and the Adios 9 like a faster 10k/21k racer shoes. And the Takimi would have kept its lower stack height and would gain the LEP system instead of the rods. The Adios and Adios Pro would sell much more, in my opinion...
