Pretty interesting design. Similar to the On midsole platform, which is a similar idea as Mizuno Wave plates. Also reminds me of the a3, an Adidas shoe from like 20 years ago. The Switch FWD seems like a nightmare to run in during fall, with a bunch of stuff on the ground, to say nothing of running on a light trail. Adidas has a history (moreso than other brands I feel, who are not innocent themselves) of trying to reinvent the wheel every few years. Springblade, a3, this... Just look at what their track and field athletes are training in. It's just the regular-looking shoes with whatever the latest midsole compound is.

A3 was exactly what I thought of...but that shoe was basically running on plastic.

These are definitely interesting, and the price, $140, isn't bad. I would probably give em a try. And yes, at first glance, they do remind me of the Springblade. Thanks for another entertaining video.

If you’re doing a long run i think it’s better to consider a roomier fit to give room foot expansion (if it happens to you) other than that the it kinda looks like they took a page out of the currently trending On Running company (even tho they’re not the first to come up with porous midsole)

Continental rubber may be good. But how good is the glue between the continental rubber and the midsole foam? The glue will fail first. It is like having the best continental tyres on your car but the wheels fell off because the wheel nuts failed. In my opinion, the Continental Rubber is purely a marketing gimmick. I have a couple of Adidas shoes with such outsole..they peel off. The glue failed. Imagine gluing your outsole after every run??

Chris or anybody in this comment section I have a question, I am totally blind and utilize a yellow lab seeing eye dog to take me around my college campus and I am looking for the most comfortable shoe out there, or at least one that I can walk around in all day long And won’t make my feet feel like they do when I wear my infrareds. I would really like a mid or a high just because sometimes my dog will walk me to the right of the sidewalk and I sometimes roll my ankle, but anybody’s help that can steer me in the right direction towards what they think is the most comfortable shoe out there would be much appreciated
