I got the Prime X Strung 5 days ago and I've already put in over 50 miles to this amazing shoe. I just can't stop running in this! It has such an amazing addictive ride. I had been on the fence with the OG Prime X for a while and was close to getting it and then this Strung version came out. It sold out in the US pretty quickly and I got tired of waiting for it to come back in stock so I ordered and finally got my pair from a dealer in UK. I'm sure I glad did because the past 4 days of running in the Prime X Strung has been pure bliss. It has incredible energy return and bounce but it's not squishy and propels you forward, not up like some other max stack shoes tend to do. It's bouncier than the Incredible Run 2, SC Trainer, and Novablast 3 but a lot faster than all of them. Mine is almost the same weight as the Novablast 3 at 8.3 oz for size 8 so it's fairly light considering the super max midsole stack. The upper is super comfortable - the most comfortable shoe I've tried on this year. The outsole grip in the forefoot area is excellent although you don't have much in the heel area. This shoe is really for forefoot and mid-foot strikers. I think it'd be kind of dangerous for heel strikers. Stability hasn't been an issue for me at all although I am mindful when turning corners or making wide turns. For straight-ahead running, I don't even think about the stability matter. I go back-and-forth between forefoot and mid-foot strikes and just rely on the forefoot more when I need to make turns because there is plenty of width there and the traction with the Continental rubber is excellent. The ride on this is really like no other. It seems to have the best qualities of a racing shoe, daily trainer, long distance shoe, and easy/recovery shoe in one seamless package. It's fast, bouncy, and propulsive yet smooth and controlled, very comfortable but in a minimalist way for the long runs, easy to lock in a pace but even easier to pick it up another notch when you want to. For me, this is the 'Shoe of the Year'. Until now, I had been going back and forth between the Novablast 3 and the Endorphin Speed 3 but, as far as I'm concerned, the Prime X Strung blows both of them out of the water. Well, I guess it had better since it costs as much as those two combined! It definitely isn't for everyone. It's a niche shoe. I can see stability being an issue for a lot of people. It isn't for beginner or inexperienced runners as they could easily roll the ankles on this and the last thing you want to think about while running is how to adjust your running to avoid injury. But, for me, this is the dream running shoe I've been waiting for and something I haven't even imagined, honestly speaking. The fun factor is greater than all of my other shoes and by a very large margin. I believe it is also improving my running technique and helping me extend my strides without much effort, keeping my heart rate down through difficult stretches like going uphill for extended distances. Just amazing. One more thing: I tend to wear US 8 or 8.5 depending on what type of shoes from different brands, so I went with 8 and, overall, it fits great but is a little too roomy on the upper in the forefoot area and I had to really cinch down on the laces. And I still had some toe box room left so I wore thicker socks and that made the fit virtually perfect. This being said, I don't always want to wear thickest socks I have so I ordered a 7.5 size so I can wear it with my normal thinner socks. If you are interested in ordering one, you should go at least a half-size down from your true size but that's alway a moving target with these shoe manufacturers. It's possible you may have to go full-size down as some have said. I can't say enough good things about this amazing shoe. I honestly wouldn't change a thing because I believe doing so will degrade something. I wouldn't want it wider at the heel base for more stability because that would add more weight and completely change the feel of the ride. One shoe cannot be everything for everyone. I just don't see how that is even remotely possible. For me, and all those who also love the Prime X Strung I believe, it's about as perfect as can be for doing some specific things - like running long distance at marathon pace or doing tempo at a brisk pace while protecting your legs from impact. I am absolutely amazed by how fresh my legs, feet, ankles, knees, and joints feel after 10+ miles. I want to keep going or run again a few hours later. Definitely the 'Shoe of the Year' for me by a huge margin.

Love the Prime X Strung. The energy return is something to behold. The midsole is almost purely reactive. That is: pure spring without damping to consume and waste energy. The only thing thing: the heel counter has no plastic structure to cup or form. So, sizing is crucial. All my road and trail runners are size 11. Size 11 Prime X Strung were a half inch to long for me!!! However, size 10 fit perfectly!!! Hooray!! Very pleased with what Adidas created here. 👍👍👍 👌

So, I never comment on videos but I’m legit loving the reviews. Gonna think about picking up a pair of these as I chase my next PR. Keep up the great work.

The original Prime X has been on my radar for a while but I decided to postpone purchasing it until I returned from a month-long business trip to Asia. I had been enjoying the Novablast 3 (which I brought to the trip) along with the Endorphin Speed 3 and the Mach 5 for daily training recently, so I kept pushing the Prime X back. Then, this comes out, which seems to address the concerns about the upper I had. I'll be getting this as soon as I get back home late this month. Can't wait to experience the ride on this.

I absolutely love the Prime X ,not only is there is no stress on the legs,but as you run,you're picking up your pace without you noticing until you look at your watch. I just found that I can't wear low socks with mine bc the back rubbed on my achilles,easy fix,longer socks

I have the Prime X, and they are amazing, I felt the upper could of been better and what do I see here another one with a better upper and what appears to have resolved the lacing issues the previous had. Expensive yes, however the life of the shoe you get, plus it's saving your legs and body, it pays for it's self!

I just bought a pair. Thank you!

Adidas always used to be my running shoe of choice with the likes of the Adios 3 and then they seemed to lose their way, more interested in shoes with celebrity names attached to them and fashion clothing and I switched to Hoka. I love the Cliftons and Rocket X but this shoe from Adidas has got me excited to try an Adidas shoe again. I’ve managed to order a pair here in the UK with a 15% discount bringing the price under £200 which still isn’t cheap but it’s not unreasonable for a lot of shoe! It’s good to see them trying stuff. Like most people who will watch this video, I’m not elite so I don’t care if they’re “illegal” if they give me a nice bouncy run. There’s plenty of legal shoes for those who think that’s important. Roll on Tuesday when mine arrive 😀

Thx for your review! I already have 700k in my prime x v1, and was waiting for this, 280€ in Europe but a must have for me 🙈😁

The primex is one of my favourites shoes, I racked up the mileage in no time. However the upper I don't live, so need to wear very padded socks. And I can't go mad with the mileage. This strung looks to fix that issue, I'll be all over this soon as my current pair wear out 👍

hmmmm! even though I'm a dedicated Saucony Endorphin Pro fan, I may have to look into this one as a post race trainer and long runs. Thanks for the video. 👍

This is the most amazing steady run shoe I have ever seen. Quicker steady paces are effortless, I almost don't want to wear it so though don't wear down! 😢

Oh man 🤣 just found Mrs. Space Cadet 🤣 You’ve gotta get her on The Move podcast! (Beautiful Adidas Adizero Prime X Strung shoe too btw).

Keep up the good work my US friends. Uk man.

Thank you, guys and girls for the review. How many miles do you think is that’s shoe life?

Thank you for this review. I had been on the fence with the mix reviews. Came close after the Kofuzi review but I think now after this review and the updates to questions I had, it’s a done deal 🤜🏾🤛🏻…

How have you never seen this upper before? UA have been using this tech for almost 6 years!

The Prime X is absolutely bonkers! By far the most amazing energetic foam, even better than Alphafly v1 in my opinion. I've been tempted many times to race a marathon in them but the high stack has given me pause. Boston probably would be a great place to try them since there are only a few turns!

Not to say I'm OLD, but I bought the Nike Tailwind in January 1979 for the whopping price of....$50. The most expensive shoe on the market at the time.

Best running shoe I’ve ever used. Yes they are expensive but much like cars, you get what you pay for. If you want to improve your PB’s this us the shoe for you.

Love the v1 prime x but I can only use them on treadmills because of the instability. Racking up miles on the tready in them is almost like cheating. Hopefully I can catch a sale for the strung version, would be awesome if I’m able to wear them outside.

Are the strungs as wide as a asics nova blast. I have wider feet but novablast fit me almost perfect.

I posted this question on another channel, but didn’t receive an answer. Isn’t that upper the same concept as the UnderArmour Flow Velociti Wind? Or does this take it a step further?

Luckily, I have the adidas ES where I’m at and I got a pair for 150! WORTH IT

version 1 was weird but you could get used to it....i think they were trying to narrow the heel for increased speed. I will hope for $225 someday on these. Heel looks stable on v2 but may make it slower.

Please which one is better? These Adizero Prime X Strung or Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% or NEXT% 2? And which has the thickest midsole? Thank you so much.

I just bought a pair for $150 thanks to Adidas's black friday sale.

Sweet Jesus, got mine today! Immaculate 👌🏻

Green light for $$$$$. LOL I love my V1 Prime X so I'll have to buy these for sure...

Were on sale last night for $150

Held off buying these, despite all the great reviews, due to the price and the fact I have LOTS of super shoes already. Found them at £145 delivered and decided to take the plunge!

I have low lateral ankle bones. would the shoe collar high up & rub uncomfortably like that of the New Balance SC trainer please?

But is it better than an Alphafly or even the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3

Even if the stability is better than the first , is this shoe still laterally bias (outer )?

will there be a takumi sen strung?

Thank god u put the metric on screen for the rest of the world

I picked up a pair of adizero adios pro2 on sale recently that Im yet to try out, but already looking at these bad boys thinking how can I justify shedding out another £230. Adidas teasing me though as they sent me a 25% off voucher and guess what it won’t work against prime x strung However, unlike most other running shoe brands we get a better deal on adidas price wise so works out far less than $300 you guys will pay in the US😅

Is it stable im scare to roll my ankle since the back is so narrow

Save your money the boost are more comfortable to run with

You guys think this is a good choice for run the Disney Dopey Challenge?

Good evening BITR and all the runners from Spain. Like for Meaghan and Thomas. I don´t like very, very big max cushion´s shoes. A nice weekend for everyone.

What would you guys go with for a long run trainer New Balance SC Trainer or this shoe?

Even though it's still ok after 1000km, with the wear I'm noticing in the first gen Prime X, the upper would be the thing that would tear first. This upper looks a whole lot more durable.

All the bounce without the worry of your airpods popping in the alphafly

Hi, Besides the upper, is there any big difference (midsole/outsole) with the original Prime X?

3hundo?! Sheeeeeessshhhh?! Whose got that discount code??

Saucony Pro 3 vs Prime X Strung?

Comparing to the NB SC Trainer, better stability and energy return?

Other than the upper and the stack difference, any major benefits over the Adios Pro 3?

Alpha 2 or Strung?

As fast as the vaporfly?

Beijing's Birds nest stadium inspired...

Running with these is like driving an Mercedes S-klass

Just bought a pair for £84 in Austria 🇦🇹

The price is ridiculous!

Is this sole made of the boost material?

Is this a good shoe for just everyday use?

I guess I’m a professional jogger because $300 seems absurd to me.

I splurged on a pair 😢

Very expensive but maybe worth it?

It's weird running slow in these shoe

What is the best (fastest) shoe for two mile races full effort??

Hey Thomas, I'm not sure how it works with your sponsorship but if you end up with a pair of those racing shoes that just don't work for you let me know I'm also a 10.5 cheers Steve

$300. Wow.

Looks like an amazing shoe, but for $400 Canadian…. That is a lot of coin for a pair of shoes. Just can’t do it.

It looks like a shoe that graduated from Hogwarts

I was interested until you mentioned the price. That’s just ridiculous

$300 ? No Thanks

Jesus, I'm just switching this off - you don't even know the name of the shoe and judging by what you have in your hand, you barely wore them. What's the point in listening to two folk who are just winging it.

300$ HELL NA AT LEAST 260. AT MOST
