ADIDAS ADIZERO PRIME X | 100 MILE REVIEW
I have enjoyed my 100 miles or 161km in the PRIME X, a fantastically cushioned yet durable shoe for training and gulp, racing too!
One of the most forgiving running shoes i have tested out in recent times and the midsole feels better than ever after this distance.
This is shoe i bought with my own cash. No free stuff so i have no reason to lead you down the primrose path....

Dear Ed, I'm not willing to pay this much for a shoe, but I did buy the Adios 6 in its wide version since they are on sale at adidas right now (even bugged you about it in one of your recent live streams). And I gotta tell ya - can't thank you enough for your reviewing it, because the Adios6 is a perfectly versatile, snappy, stable and in my view even rather cushy ride. Real bargain, too. Loving the shoe as much as your videos- including your British humor, always fun. Best "shoetuber" on YT. Regards from Germany, keep it up!!

@EDDBUD 2 года назад

It’s a cracking shoe. Superb mixture of everything a runner needs and a great price to boot.

@ioanbebb5404 Год назад

Hi Ed, after many enjoyable miles in the adios pro 2, I decided to pick up a cheap pair of these on ebay to see what the fuss was about. I agree totally with your review and honesty feel that these puppies work over all distances from 5k upwards. They are, admittedly, tricky around tight corners but over long gentle miles they propel you along like nothing else - and I include the alphaflys in that. Keep the reviews coming!!

@cameron8500 2 года назад

Pure joy to run in. My favorite by quite bit

@addexvi 2 года назад

I do understand the thing about tired ankles. As someone who overpronates a bit my ankles have to work a bit harder to stabilize everything in the prime x. However, I've never felt as fresh the day after my last long run in them where i kept a pretty fast pace all throughout. It really does do wonders for DOMS.

It’s quite the cushion and once you get used to it a superb ride.

@jimoconnor8597 2 года назад

Definitely my go-to for longer efforts over 10 miles when looking for some faster pacing or relaxed marathon pace. For me, there can be improvement on the lockdown as I can't find that sweet spot between to tight over the top of the foot vs some heel slip. In the end, I haven't had any stability issues or lower leg issues. Thinking I'll get 350-400 miles out of these and I retire almost all my shoes at 300. Well done Adidas. PS I didn't get on with the Adios Pro V1 though. My calves screamed at my for miles. Had to be me!

@mintymus 2 года назад

Love your reviews, Ed. You're not afraid to give a perfect score in an area if it's warranted, I get so sick of other reviewers that REFUSE to give a perfect score no matter what. Have you ever heard of Newton shoes? They have a lug setup in the front that I think is supposed to act similar to Zoom Air. I've been wanting to try them out for a long time, for whatever reason, no reviewers cover them.

Couldn't agree more with lightstrike Pro, even the slab in my adios 6 has just got better the more it's worn. 150 miles in now and I think they are better than when I purchased them! It's tempted me to invest in more lightstrike pro than before!

@stefanf5433 2 года назад

I've had this shoe in my Adidas cart ready to checkout numerous times but every time I decide against it. I just can't justify the price here in Australia $420. Even if you use a discount code it is going to cost me considerably more than any other super shoe on the market. Especially now that you can get the Nike Alphafly or Vaporfly heavily discounted at $260.00 or the Asics Metaspeed Sky for $264 (with a discount code). I appreciate your review Edd and I am convinced it is a very good shoe but it falls way outside my price pain tolerance.

@EDDBUD 2 года назад

Ouch that’s a big price. I wonder why the adidas shoes are so much more in oz?

I ran in em for the first time today ..they are very springy..they are a very good cruiser shoe and a good shoe to help you increase your mileage ..i normally run around 5:45-6:10 for my easy runs with this shoe ..same cadence same effort done in 4:45-5:10 ..as you can see huge difference because this shoe does some of the work for you ..it is a little clunky and heavy but it's ideal for long easy runs ..there is a little bit of play in the hill area but they could be because I didn't order half a size down but nothing to really worry about ..use less energy too in these ..

I bought the adios 6 on your recommendation Ed, initially I was disappointed, but as you say the lightstrike pro just gets better, so much better I’ve just ordered another pair of adios 6s before the change them! What convinced me to get another pair is simply they are the ones I go for when I’m not racing or I’m dithering on what to wear and I certainly have plenty of choice and great shoes, yet I do think it may be that the light strike pro is the perfect balance for me with weight, comfort and speed. Hmm Pro 2s maybe ????

@DeeGee69 2 года назад

I sensed a disturbance in the force on Strava... I knew one was coming... I agree with 90% of the review and still love the feel of the shoe after 205km. It's a staple in my rotation. My longest run was 20 miles (32km) in 2h36 and overall it felt great. For me it's better under 5:20/km and cruises at my marathon pace. Some random facts: It drains water really quickly and is gentle on the legs and the bottom of the feet. Stability-wise, as a rear-midfoot striker, I get used to it and forget about it after a few miles. I think it promotes proper form (for me)... sloppy runners may not like it. Hard hitting heel strikers? I'm not sure either lol However, I think the upper on the Adios 6/Boston 9/Endorphin Speed is better... I find the lacing horrendous to set up properly between too tight and not enough... if not locked down properly, it can create some slight heel slippage and if too tight, some pressure on the top of the feet... and considering the (green in your model) lace loops can dig in in the skin, forget thin socks. With the right socks and right lacing, the upper is like 2.6/3. I don't know if you agree Edd... but I believe the Prime X was a concept shoe for the Pro 2. The design is similar but some details have changed like the annoying bottom 4 lace loops have a more standard design in the Adios Pro 2.

@EDDBUD 2 года назад

Yes it seems the primex could have come first. Then they refined it into the pro 2.

@charleshammack 2 года назад

How does the PrimeX feel/perform on faster miles? From tempo down to 5k pace?

I’ve got 60 miles on my Prime X. Although l have wide feet l reckon l could have gone down half a size from my usual 10. It’s strange as my older Adidas shoes range in size from 10 to 11.5. Have Adidas changed back from a south east asian last to a longer/wider west European/American last? I can remember having Nike run shoes in the 1980s that were made in the USA and had a wide fitting. Then in the 1990s Nike moved production the SE Asia and the shoes became a narrow fit!

Hi Love your reviews, but as i mainly watch you tube on my TV i can't usually make comments. I like what you said about this shoe and bought it, its now in my select of Invincible Run, Endorphin Pro, and Endorphin Speed. To add my two pen-th to the review though i have to slate the tongue and the laces. The bottom of the tongue doesn't even join the two sides of the shoe and so you a gap either side just showing your sock which is a bit rubbish, i don't think i'd want to wear them when the weather starts getting wet again. And the truly awful bit.........the laces are so narrow that they cut into my foot if you try and do them up even remotely tight, luckily the lock down remains ok but i don't feel like i can do-them-up like i normally would with wider laces. They had such a bite on them yesterday that my foot started to go numb waiting to go of my run so had to loosen them off. I've never experienced anything like this on any other pair of shoes i've had. Anyway, keep up the good work, just my thoughts for anyone else looking at getting this shoe.

I needed something that allows me to rack up the mileage, but looks after me And I know the Adios 6 grips will, so I'm sure this will be the same. I'd doubt the prime x2 will be coming anytime soon. Now real question, do you still love them and are they wearing well?

@EDDBUD 2 года назад

Yes it’s not really a factor for most runners. In fact a huge percentage of people who simply enjoy running can get a great time from these.

If you u were to run a marathon with minimal turns, what would you choose prime x or alphafly?

@EDDBUD 6 месяцев назад

Minimal turns? Primex all the way

Having had my moan about the laces i have to say these shoes do give the old joints, knees in my case, great protection and due setup of the shoe force me to be a mid to fore foot striker as i'm not confident of the rear stability, but that's a good thing right?

@EDDBUD 2 года назад

I found the same. Made me concentrate on the foot strike even at slower speeds.

hey Edd.. Ican se a pair for £120 ! ..what's the sizing compared to other adidas shoes ? usually I'm 7.5 for Nike but 8 for ADIDAS (adios 6 being my last ones)

@EDDBUD Год назад

I found the Adios 6 needed a half up. I would say go with your Nike size

@tomtomtommyism Год назад

@@EDDBUD thanks Edd, went up with size 8 in the end as they were low stock/better too much room than black nails, hope I don't regret it!

@tomtomtommyism Год назад

@@EDDBUD phew, right decision I think, toe box is pretty accommodating but it won't be for racing so no need for snug /1 thumb space ...just walking in kitchen I can't wait for my run tomorrow!

Hi, do you think they are suted for a Marathon? Thanks!

@EDDBUD 2 года назад

If you have strong ankles and good form.

@dragosvoda3445 2 года назад

@@EDDBUD should I go with the Adios 2, then? Also I have the Alphfly, I have done twon marathons in them, but after 30 km or like so, I've felt an arch pain, I've gone true to size, do you think I should go half a size, because I have tried them in a Nike shop but half a size felt to tight. But I felth them firmer? Sorry for the long message, but your advice will make a big difference. Thanks!

Too much running, not enough tibialis raise in the gym or playing other sports if your ankles can’t provide the support you need, you’re gonna have a bad sprain one day
