As a foot doctor I look at running shoes and running shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the running shoe's functional attributes on the road and trail
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- adidas running shoe technology explained

People talking about the price for “just cushion and carbon fiber”. I guarantee you that if any other company could match the performance for cheaper they would, it’d sell like hot cakes.

[@theperfecteraser5988]

100%. The material is expensive to make, they’ve spent dozens of thousands if not millions of dollars researching and testing the material, and it is without a doubt the fastest shoe ever created. Super foam, full length carbon fiber, and a weight LIGHTER THAN MOST LD TRACK SPIKES

[@timo7641]

ah yes the Hyper Shoe, basically a slick tires for our foot

[@datharo5]

This running shoe is insane, I'm glad you were still able to do a review.. It was actually fun seeing your wife helping you out. I feel like it added to the video. ❤❤

[@FootDoctorZach]

I appreciate it- yeah it was fun getting to film it

[@str8fiyah918]

Always wondered when a shoe like this gets a bball tread and some lateral side piece for containing. So up to you doc, just another interesting video idea. Also, a review on the 361 Flame RS would be appreciated, for a while now ive been seeing them in my local ross for dirt cheap and would consider them. But I don’t get shoes unless you review them😅. Thanks doc

NEED D.O.N Issue 6 ！！！！

Great team up 😎☺️

[@kevintalaueCR]

No way! 🎉 This dude is a legend!

From the same people that makes the parley recycled shoes, now the 3 times use disposable shoe

[@FootDoctorZach]

Very good point

[@prestonlee7107]

different target demographic ig

[@fedeberto]

Zach I saw your review about kawhi 4 and I was questioning how would you say it’s the fit in the mid foot in the 2e size because I have very wide mid foot and I was wondering if they would be comfortable for me. Thanks man appreciate your work

[@yoshowtimetv]

amazing you have the USD Aeons! can't wait to see the video where you cut them in half! lol

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha no way - I had to custom make these to get them to my specs

[@Xgidoyfupvouohvuofoufuofyou]

Can you review the new wow ac12 please I need to know if I should get the old version or the new one

[@pochen86]

Thanks for cut this shoe for this channel. Really impressed

[@Owski87]

The price of these shoes is crazy. Which of the shoes you tested would you recommend for a 3:30 hour marathon for a runner weighing over 230 lbs who starts heelstriking in the second half?

[@PennyMan123]

They need to make a shoe similar to this but with the stack of the sc pacer 2. Super lightweight upper, maybe a thicker outsole though

[@LordSol4]

Watching this made me think if basketball sneakers can also be used for (casual or occasional) running. Especially low tops. Given the foam, stability, and shank on them. What do you think Doc? If yes, could you do ball shoes for running? Given how hese sneakers are priced. I cant afford to buy two separate shoes 😅

[@voxuancuong]

Could you do some asics volleyball shoes like the metarise 2 or Sky elite 3 ?

[@Few_Proud_Emotional]

What is the intended use of these? 1 really fast race time or something ?

[@AK-hi4hm]

i noticed in one of your older videos you said you can't put an orthotic in a drop in midsole shoe...why is that? i've done it before and it felt ok

[@Meehhehe]

It's because drop in midsoles is basically an insole too that's why it's hard to put orthotic. It will make the fit more tighter and more complicated. Congrats to you it worked to you but for some people (me included) sadly it's not.

[@rumblerumble2276]

I would imagine that sponsored athletes can get as many shoes as they need. This way they can prepare for a race.

[@kuma_b4299]

Two foot doctors are tight!

[@jan_elcatalan7689]

do the review of the gt hustle 3 and gt hustle academy

[@crazyjds]

I hope the tech carry over to the pro 4 version, like the upper and geometry. But for the outsole stick to the continental please…

[@PenguinPizza418]

That sole will be fun in the rain

[@Gasho3mPresari0]

[@ABucc]

Maybe one day Adidas will make a $500 dollar shoe with quality that's worth buying.

[@FootHQ]

$500 for a bar of carbon fibre padded by some foam?

[@JeremyGiese]

And all the R&D 😅

[@MysteryFlavorRS]

Imagine spending $500 on a shoe you can only race in once, just to take a big fat L 😭

[@brianbanks3044]

so.....they are like a set of tires for NASCAR vehicles...good for 20-30 laps then they are gone...slicks too

[@dextersuarez9948]

These were made for the top of the top of the top of the beet runners to break records. Of course the 500 dollar price tag doesn't make sense, they weren’t made for the hobby jogger.

[@bruno_mart]

I don’t understand what this shoe is for. Pure speed over one marathon or what?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yup

[@yosefw6938]

I wonder if the comment section wud become weight weenies a la the bike forum itself kek. Jokes aside, I don't rlly think 2E could break them in before they're broken, as it's basically the ultimate weight weenies' shoe aside from the prototype by Li-Ning. And getting half size wud just fxxk up the containment as it'd mean some 0.5cm of more room which wud mean that it'd be a mismatch as well for 2E with short toes. That being said, it's meant to be used by the pro athletes who oftentimes have a triangular and narrow foot shape due to genetics. They also fit the weight weenies part as they're also very, very skinny oftentimes. As you said beforehand, it's the ultimate shoe for elite runners seeking extra PB time reduction on marathon. It's not meant for us mere mortals, as much as running is an inclusive sports activity. Alas, thx for the sacrifice Doc 🙏

[@hiddenpk1]

Making the first frame you cutting it up was heartbreaking.

[@GoufinAround_]

Foot doctor married a foot doctor? Y'all in business together? lol

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yup 👍

[@GoufinAround_]

If you're making money from running, I'm sure $500 isn't a big deal for a shoe. Outside of that, it's clearly not something for regular people

[@MsVibrato]

It's crazy you pay 500 bucks for just a cushion and nothing else.

[@Flyingmushroomman]

It's a speciality shoe for the top athletes to get every last % out of their efficiency. Adidas has to sell the model to the public for it to be WAF legal but in truth it's a production model shoe, these shoes are basically made in a prototype lab making like a few hundred per batch every few months instead of having a factory line cranking them out.

[@timo7641]

I mean its like a pro Slick tire, you burned them on track and competition. this shoe is cater more to pro elite level athletes that have sponsor from Adidas, so they can just replace them after a race. A mere mortal like us would never have the ability to use this shoe at max potential. Consider this as a prosumer track race car that needs a crew to maintained

[@9000R]

elite content!
