Adidas Adizero Prime X 2 Strung Review 

The most honest and sincere review of Prime x 2, greetings, a hug!

I clicked for the shoe review, i stayed for your humor 😂

Excellent review, it makes complete sense with preserving your legs , I also think if you are naturally well built or heavier like me these shoes are fantastic whereas if you was ultra light maybe they’d feel too heavy , but what I love about these and version 1 is that they are real fun, I can run tempo all out or normally long steady runs they are very versatile imo, Aubrey keep up the great work this has to be the most in depth review I’ve seen 👍

Been waiting for this review! Can’t wait to get into it! I’ve been adding more Adidas into my rotation. ✌🏻

Funny, entertaining and informative, love you bro, you hit all key points.

Always great content Aubrey. Keep grinding. Love what you do

This channel needs more follower! Love everything about it! And i‘m watching a lot of running stuff all over yt! Keep up the good work - the clicks are coming! All the best from Berlin!

You have a really nice chilled out demeanour 🙂 Made me smile. Good review 👍

Love this review. I like the experience, the new concepts, and preserving my legs :P PXS1 was my favorite shoe, looking forward to try these.

First video I watched on your channel, but already subscribing. Love your presentation style and your video editing chops are top notch.

What a great review! Well done.

Thanks again for your advice! To be on the safe side, I watched your video too 🌹

This is a channel on its way UP. Instant sub after watching this.

Thank you for this great review

Love the vdo, the shoes & the shirt u r wearing, love it. Keep it up, bro!

Man those transitions are RIDICULOUS!

Another quality bit of content great to see this shoe reviewed from a normal persons perspective. I love the first iteration albeit unstable and bonkers to run in but it just has something about it that makes me want to wear it 😅 I see alot of people just saying straight no to this shoe because of the weight but the Invincible 3 is 310g in my size 9 and people didn't like that at first either. Ive plenty of miles left on my V1 in any case for now but i can see a pair of V2 in the future 😅😅

Thanks. They are like a bicycle....the faster you go the better. I hate to stand in them but ....at 60 yoa and 200 pounds - this the THE shoe that allows me to really open it up and run fast.

What you said at the end of this video about preserving your legs and having the best in this shoe is why I want to get it.

Good and reasonable review. I have 2 pairs of Prime X (version 1 and the Strung) and love them both. The feeling of the midsole is an absolute Joy, no matter slow or fast pace. And in the Original PrimeX I ran my PB half marathon in 1:31H

fantastic review. Have just got a pair of Adidas Adizero Prime X2 Strung. love your humour. keep it up. PS Hope I don't get a speeding ticket when running in these shoes...

Was hoping you would review this beast! I had the OG version of the Prime X but had to sell them as they were just too unstable for me. Whenever I ran in them they caused my shin splints to really flare up so I had to sell them with less than 30 miles run in them 😫 I really like the look of the midsole design on the v2, looks far more stable without the giant chunks of midsole missing 😂 The weight is my really big issue with this shoe. I can still see myself buying them though and I can hear the missus moaning already 😂😂 Cracking review as ever geezer! 👍🏻

The price is pretty crazy 😮!!! Saludos hermano!

Great review! Very informative but also made with humour and great eloquence. You can transport your passion for this stuff very well! How am I finding out about you just now 😅 new subscriber incoming

You strike me as a super likable dude. I’m subbed bro!

I loved how the Prime X felt, but the cut out in the middle made it super unstable for me, I over-pronate a bit (not enough to need stability shoes, enough to be wary of it)... curious to see if this new outsole configuration is better for that 👀 Great video, love your content!

Great review Aubrey. I also watched Believe in the Run's review of this shoe beforehand, and I was surprised by how negatively they rated it. That is probably because they are fast/elite runners, as opposed to average runners like the majority of us. I appreciate your perspective as a fellow average runner.

Prime X 2 for long runs and Adios Pro 2 for marathon!

Great review, I will dial into these bad boys when they come on discounted sale, no way I'm paying £250 for them!

My dream Adidas Adios super shoe would be Strung upper on the Adios Pro 3 midsole.

I'm a slow runner with a metatarsal problem and I've been looking at this shoe for a while. it could be the solution to my problems. but is it dangerous for an ankle turned outward? I have a slight supination, so I have to take that into account. the shoe looks great and I love your reviews, you have common sense, logic, decency and humor. ❤️

I do get the impression that all the criticism's of the PX, PXS and now the PXS2 could be countered with ... "what do you think the Pro series is for?"

It is a great shoe I would love to try it but for now it is a lot of money for me, for now I enjoy the boston 12 pairs to train and the adios pro 3 to compete.

looks cute !

Good review as ever. I got mine on Sunday but was in two minds whether to actually run in them. 402g in a UK 13.5 makes them my heaviest shoe in current usage and my 3rd heaviest ever - only behind some GTX trail shoes. I did manage to do my first run in them today - 8 miles. My biggest issue however was not the weight but the rather shallow toebox and it felt my right (especially) big toe was being crushed a bit but the length seems about right. Any issues for you there? Not had Strung before but so far rather underwhelming due to this issue. Otherwise (and that is a big concern) they were a bit better than I thought they might be - the ride does feel a little softer (but not silly soft) than the OG Prime X. They never did the first Strung one in my size BTW. Definitely more stable but without feeling was wearing a stability shoe. All said and done for £250 a bit underwhelming. With a big discount I have heard others getting more compelling. The weight isn't great but fortunately the foam does not make it feel as much of a brick as it feels when you pick it up. In fact it has "only" gone up 20g for me over the OG non Strung Prime X whereas I see 40g for you. Mind you a shoe at 320g for me for long training runs would be great. Oh and re Tesco - could get anything down from the top shelf in these :)

Very nice review well done !! i am tempted but how is the stability of these ? Is it similar or better than lets say the alphafly 1 ? I have a sensitive right ankle so not sure if the prime x would be for me although i did manage 600 km with the alphafly 1 without any problems i am torn between these and the adios pro 3

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn that’s communication! Ten claps emojis!!!!!!!!!!! And 25 fire ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice glad i am seeing more people give this shoe credit, only would say pumagrip is still better than continental rubber lol

Great review, Aubrey.. How are you finding the durability of the outsole 4 months later? I really loved the 1st two Prime X versions but this Iteration looks more like the adios pro 3 and as a heel striker it does worry me a bit. Keep up the great reviews!

I have version 1 and I love it. I would love it even more if it were more stable. Is there any improvement in the terms of stability in V2 versus the V1? Is the rear part of the shoe (heel) any wider than in V1? Or is it just the same? I think the stability issues are coming from the relatively (compared to the stack hight) narrow rear part of the shoe. Many thanks!

Please Adidas Create a Lifestyle version of these shoes with that 50mm Thick midsole and the strung design.

Btw Aubrey there's a fascinating old episode on the Run Smarter podcast called Is a Carbon Fibre Shoe Right for Me? with Simon Bartold (a podiatrist and running shoe designer) where Simon talks about exactly how the carbon plate operates, which is as a lever rather than as a spring. In fact that podcast has quite a few great episodes about shoes that might interest you actually, and quotes a lot of scientific evidence and expert opinions which dispel some very common myths we hear a lot on youtube!! 🙋🏻‍♀

Me doing 2 miles: "This shoe feels great!" Me doing a long run: "Get these shoes off me already, these are as heavy as bricks!"

🤙🏽

Is it true it is laterally bias like the first prime x? Adios pro 2 had it and i had to give mine away.

50mm..😮😮😮

Would love to try it but $300 for a shoe😖 I’d have to hit the lottery to justify it😂 I did however, just order a new Garmin watch (Venu 3), that wasn't as hard a sell for me.

Now we need adios pro strung to pass the Tesco test

The people who rate this negatively are those who weight 145 and below and are fast runners who do sub 3:30. This shoe is for the average runner who weigh 150 lbs and above with maybe a BMI of 25-26 and are 3:3o and above marathon runners. This shoe are for these majority of runners. If you weigh less than 150 lbs you won't be able to compress the spring that much, but it compresses if you are 150 lbs and above. .

Personally I'm torn with these, the fit is a bit different and the midsole feels harder than usual but they ran well and are a lot more stable. I've a feeling the speed will come out once broken in, they'll take at least a good 3-4 decent runs before they soften up, as i have all three iterations so know the prime x very well. Will I love them, only time will tell but so far they feel decent. I'm not worried about speed, I have the mizuno wave rebellion pro for race day, these are my dailys where i need the cushion but something fun and fast to run in. I can comfortably maintain marathon efforts, so they're not as slow as you'd think.

How is the sizing compared to first version ?

Hola . Podria usar estos 👟 para caminar solamente ? . Yo mido 1.75 y quiero unos 👟 para verme más alto.

🇧🇷🇧🇷👍

They definitely took inspiration from yeezy.

I’m a below average runner trying to reach average. 😂

Man Alphafly got fat and heavy and now this to? Darn it. I just want some light weight max cushion shoe and now both my favourites have morbid obesity.

Prime X Sprung... gotta patent this right away adidas😂 you heard it here first

To late to patent it! I put that Prime X Sprung on my wife last night😂

For me it is a massive disappointment. First I thought the shoe was not too good, now I think it is awful. I have the v1 and except for the stability, the v2 is a lot worse in the most meaningful aspect. The ride is basically bad, very weird brick-esque feeling, it is heavy, clunky, super stiff, not responsive. The upper may be better, the lockdown is definitely better, the tongue is also better. But the midsole and the ride is inexplicable, you just drag yourself in them fighting with the shoe. Fit is true to size, 45,3 EU | 10,5 UK | 11 US.

Prime X Sprung!😂 But you know it's Strung 'cause you'll be strung out spending so much money on a shoe ! 🤦🏻‍♀

Too heavy and illegal 🙂 Why would they make such a thing?

It’s a bad shoe period
