WTF Happened To The Boston? | adidas adizero Boston 10| FULL REVIEW

First off, forgive us for our awful Bah-ston accents. It's not our fault. Anyway, Thomas and Robbe review the adidas adizero Boston 10 , a total refresh of the legendary lightweight daily trainer. The shoe gained around two ounces over last year's version, and instead of Boost, we now have a whole combination of stuff in the 38 mm/31 mm midsole, like Lightstrike Pro, Lightstrike, fiberglass energyRODS, and apparently a carbon plate in the heel which we didn't know about. All that to say, it was kind of a confusing shoe. We definitely don't hate it, but we also just can't fall in love with it. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Out now for $140.

Adios 6 is the real Boston 10.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Truth

[@dharni4441]

Y is that

[@juanseaforth5111]

Another great review you guys 👊🏾

[@livegreatalways]

The asics metaracer is a firm shoe too but it was fast and nimble and I love it. Not sure about this though, the weight itself scared me a mile away. This is a very good and entertaining review, it made me laugh 🤣. With the title, thought you guys will rant but that didnt happen. Tq

[@today-nl]

Great review!

[@krishnapalaparti1357]

Hi BITR team, once again great review and good turnaround for the newly released (June 16 2021) Boston 10 . Enjoyed your review, banter as usual. I have a suggestion..I believe the review could be 10Min or under. 10 Mins to me is the sweet spot..not too short and not too long.

[@christosvasiliou6661]

Adiós 6 is the REAL Boston 10 guys.. Adiós 6 is a truly magnificent shoe!! You can push hard without really noticing it..And that's a Boston Characteristic!! It's smooth too after a lil break in..Plz Believe in the run JUST review the Adiós 6!!

[@tenor79]

I love that you noticed that the colorway on the Boston 10 matches Dunkin' Donuts corporate logo.

[@lpiseno1]

Huge fan of the Boston 9 and can't wait to try these out. Great Review 👍🏽

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

You need to try the Adios 6 then if you liked the Boston 9. It’s the closest shoe and the true Boston 10. The names are misleading and illogical.

[@urazoktay7940]

13:20 i laughed out loud you guys are hilarious, it kinda builds up, the whole review you were saying, i really want to like this shoe, yeah me too, i liked the shoe, then i changed my mind, it would be better if they just.. then comes.. Thomas..it's not your fault. :D Great review!

[@warrenl3545]

Not everyone wants stack hight. Thats why I liked the adizero line. I could switch to a new brand but I loved the Bostons as a commuter trail/ race shoe.

[@wirazainal727]

hi guys...thanks for the review...in your personal opinion boston 10 or glideride 2?

[@jamaaljones844]

I have never been more disappointed in a shoe. It feels like a high stack shoe made from compounds from 1999.

[@jeetpatel6087]

Wrong

[@ptheiss0428]

I have run in both the Boston 10 and the Adios 6. For those who historically enjoyed the Boston, the Adios 6 is exactly that (but better, in my opinion)

[@elijahdavis1827]

Idk wby people aren’t loving this show I think it’s fantastic. To be fair I do only have a few miles on it but I could see it becoming my main daily trainer it just feels so good. Definitely not for everyone like the peg tho

[@abregoja]

So, do you recommend it or not? compared with the boost soles, does it is hard? good for marathon or half marathon?

[@timtrenholm3698]

Boston 10 is all about setting the bar so low that the Boston 11 is a smashing success!

[@ac-vp9mh]

10 and 11 are set-ups for the 12

[@jean-phil]

what shoe racks are you using ? tx!

[@tigerstorm]

You guys make me want to run through a few walls to get to the DD down the street and get a couple of Boston Cream 🍩🤤

[@michaelwolf3601]

You guys have finally lost it. I'm not sure what I just watched but it was entertaining. I think there might have been a running shoe review in there somewhere but I'm not sure.

[@Believeintherun]

We ain’t even looking for it. 😂

[@zolaQuela711]

If you remove the insole you will see the carbon plate at the hill. You can tap it with a spoon to hear it. If you cut the cloth covering it, you can remove the hill carbon plate since it is not tightly glued. This transformed my Boston to an incredible comfortable shoe. You are free to do as you please with your shoes and not take my advice.

[@anderskokhansen9963]

It reminds me of the Zoom fly. Totally agree its disappointingly hard/not soft, BUT, not all shoes should be soft. I think the shoe can be snappy and I get a pretty ok turnover from the shoe.

[@sarabishop]

Love the video, does the 3 miles per doughnut rule scale? When I saw this shoe I was actually looking for a lower cushioned shoe like the older versions. And I thought it looked crazy. Serious question is what if you don’t want to always run in a stacked shoe with some sort of rocker technology? Am I going to be out of luck or do you think there will still be choices? I know there are now but most shoes are at least getting more cushion.

[@Believeintherun]

Trends come and go. Rebel v2 has a reasonable stack.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

Adios 6 is the traditional shoe now in the Adizero lineup and the closest successor to the Boston 9. It has a little more stack height and cushion. If you want a real old fashioned racing flat that’s superb for at least track work and short races, check out the Takumi Sen 7.

[@m0rrr]

Please make a review / comparison to the Adios 6 💕

[@willwilling4728]

Could the Boston 10 be one of the most disappointing shoes of 2021?

[@zolaQuela711]

I disagree, you can remove the hill carbon plate if you want. Check my comment above.

[@TheSuperDmyers]

I have the adizero adios 7's and maybe it's just a totally different shoe but I love the midsole. I don't have any problems with the lightstrike. I'm a heavy runner and it offers plenty of cushion for me. I'm curious to try this shoe now. A: it's so good looking, B it might be a nice daily trainer to compliment the Adios.

[@ChrisLewisjusChris]

🤣🤣🤣 y’all had me dyin’ on this one. Great job. Just because I was anticipating these arriving, I ran a 15k in the Boston 9s. Pretty dope shoe tbh, just feel like I can pick it up or enjoy it at slower paces in it. So I just ran 10 in mines.. And my initial impression is. (Drumroll) It sort of reminds me more of the older Nike Zoom Fly. Not bad, but to be honest, I was hoping for something to complete with the Tempo Next % or something with as much “squish” as the Invincible.. Gonna throw more runs on it this weekend and see if that impression changes.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

My favorite. I bought 2 more pairs of the B9 on sale, before they go extinct.

[@scottyb7032]

If the Bos10 is unfavorable/confusing, ok to pivot to a donut 🍩 review. Glazed old-fashioned is my fav. ⭐️

[@aaronnathan1405]

Hysterical fellas!! My wife also farts when she’s nervous.

[@jamesreid5950]

Jesus Christ she just be a gem

[@peterisgoogling9998]

farting is OK

[@BrandonEngVT]

Felt the exact same way when I tried mine. You want to love em but the surprising firmness makes me feel uneasy.

[@MrSergio021080]

How do they feel on feet when running? I was considering getting a pair

[@BrandonEngVT]

@@MrSergio021080 You can definitely feel the firmness on the legs on those longer runs if youre used to softer shoes. They feel stable on the feet and the tongue is comfortable. Fit is true to size for me

[@itsConstantine]

Also, the plate (well first the plate is probably unnecessary) is way too up high on the midsole where you step directly on it. You woulda thought that it would be in between the lightstrike pro and the lightstrike but it is all the way up on top - also, it feels like there is no lightstrike pro in the heel at all; that could add some comfort. Plus, I totally agree, the insole is a joke here... Well, let's say that Boston 11 will be 'it' (even though I really don't think so :D )

[@bunmeng007]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it - adidas changes too much with the Boston 10.

[@chucky1golf]

Great vlog guys "You're Just A Kid, You Don't Have The Faintest Idea What You're Talkin' About."

[@perjrgenkristiansen8812]

Real funn!!!

[@raysollarsthehappyjogger5907]

It is going to be an Adidas Day for me today, both the SL20($80) and the RC3($55) will be arriving. No experience with the Boston line, I am totally new to the Adidas brand. Oh, Dunkin' Donuts has my favorite coffee, thumbs down Starbucks! I don't eat donuts---Donot eat them! Well, I guess I will wait before I try out the Boston line later down the road.

[@madfemurfast]

I am a big Boost fan. Its removal killed this for me.

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

I like having some Boost, as in the Boston9 and Takumi Sen. Still light shoes. All Boost Boston 8's were great too.

[@macoyupadoodle]

With all the athletes under their brand i wonder if they had them tested ........... or if the elite runners gave the thumbs up without putting into consideration the common runner . It could also be a case of people getting spoiled with soft pillow mids that normal firmish mids are not good enough anymore when they were normal a few years back. I welcome the soft, bouncy mids , but i also tend to look for firm.....ish mids occasionally .

[@SanketKambli]

I added a new insole and it helps for sure

[@gorohit]

If I ask you about running shoes, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been paid a few times to review them. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wear 'the one' and feel truly happy. - Good Will Hunting (BITR Cut)

[@sotimak6554]

😂

[@bpg201]

Celts fan here so yay Boston. But I think I'll be skipping this shoe!

[@SanketKambli]

this shoe makes this flap flap sound which I never heard with any other shoe. in my country it’s impossible to return a shoe so I am stuck with it.

[@matthewledvina8323]

Love mine. Never ran in the Boston 9s and bought it as a training companion to the Pro2. It’s a trainer. If you want to tempo get the Adios 6. Also get over it! 😂

[@chrisbates8943]

I love my Boston 10’s.

[@bgsemen]

My boy's wicked smaht.

[@Mojavehixon]

this is actually an Adizero Tempo 9 with rods and lightstrike

[@GGori_99]

Oh My.. low stack high flexible midsole.. that wouldnt ruin my arch.. now its all gone..

[@bunmeng007]

Can't believe that I'm first. Hungry for 🍩

[@mikes1929]

Boston 10 vs Deviate Nitro?

[@carlosblank6629]

Is this shoe stiff like the Nike zoom fly 3? I hated that shoe!!! thanks 😊

[@bobbyb3543]

that was a pretty sloppy sweeping technique Robbe hehe

[@Believeintherun]

I'm a math genius, not a janitorial genius

[@sotimak6554]

They’re not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: the adizero adios pro 2 you got, they not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.

[@novaknight402]

poetry

[@MichaelLoweAttorney]

Those acting lessons are paying off.

[@peter2533]

I think they peaked with the Boston 6

[@COYSMike]

I still think Adidas can only make a decent shoe by accident

[@royal3880]

Great video. Thought about these shoes. I trust y’all, so I’m not getting them.

[@Believeintherun]

We've worn them again recently and can report they're still terrible

[@royal3880]

@@Believeintherunlmbo…thanks!

[@robbristle5642]

Wonderful food for runners - FRIED PROCESSED SUGAR LADEN FLOUR ! No /.running 20 miles call for a donut. Running 3 miles is like walking up 2 flights of stairs.

[@SanketKambli]

why does boston 10 have such a bad heel hold. I went for half size up so that I can use it for long runs. but due to shit heel grip i feel like I am running in crocs. adios 6 doesnt work due to its narrowness and i get blackened toes. Time to say bye bye to adidas

[@hufemeve]

That Intro was wicked E.P.I.C. - it truly summarizes Adidas rational on launching new running shoes with no damn logic. Adidas should have called it "Dorchester" or "Southie" if they pleased, but never ruin an iconic Shoe with impunity .......

[@samuelbushong4548]

How 'bout them 🍎

[@SonyDjuana]

Hidden sponsors by Dunkin' Donuts?

We wish!

and its so pointy especially looks worse as I went a size up

[@stefancoradazzi5790]

I like how the americans pronounce Adidas.

[@yeetiesandwheaties]

Kinda like when non-americans pronounce English words and brands.

[@matthewbork8908]

Aaahh-dee-das had a German friend on college lol

[@pj8761]

Matt Damon's 70's moustache wasn't bad. As far as the Adidas pronunciation, us Americans don't pronounce it correctly (most of them don't realize that), yet I think our way sounds better. Our way of pronouncing Puma is way better than the British way. Also, the Boston accent is hands down the worst American regional accent out there. Dishonorable mention to the PA/south jersey accent. There just doesn't seem to be any reason for that pa accent to even exist; but the Boston accent is brutal.

[@keithisaacs6092]

Robbe that moustache is terrible it's like an eyebrow come down for a drink. Let's face it guys Adidas have fallen behind the likes of Saucony and NB .

[@Rich-zb7vc]

Did you try to fire up everyone from Boston? That gas sign? And talk normal, we talk normal (sort of). And don't go all Hagerstown on me, you are from Nahamsha. BTW, Boondock Saints WTF! 😀

[@Believeintherun]

We may have to pull a Boondocks Saints for the Boston 11 :)

I cannot understand how the responsible by Adidas can Producer this bullshit…..in 2021…..

Dunkin's donuts and the Boston 10 are trash. I regret buying both.

Eating and talking is so darn disgusting. Can literally hear you smacking in detail.

Good mics, am I right?!

[@jarrettw7753]

The weakest part of this video is your donut selection. If you’re going to get the chocolate frosted donut, at least get sprinkles on it. Thank the lord y’all didn’t get any bs jelly or cream filled donuts.
