This shoe is a must pick up. Especially in that colorway

@RobertHarridge 10 дней назад

This shoe is a must! I got it and absolutely love it! It may be odd, but it reminds me of the original Novablast with a more snug upper fit. It's got that fun factor where its cushioned and bounces you along, but its also not very stable so you have to mind your foot strike a little more. Honestly, its an enjoyable shoe that I'm really loving to run in.

@davebelcher8374 10 дней назад

The Novablast 1 was one of my favorite shoes of all time and it certainly had a little squirreliness in the back end so I can see how the SL2 might evoke some fond memories. I can’t wait to pick up a pair!

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 8 дней назад

And is it not more nimble (less chonky) than even the OG Nova? It certainly looks like it would be.

@camonly849 10 дней назад

Just got this shoe for $97 out the door. Can't wait to try it tomorrow.

Love Robbe’s Succesion-style running cap

@therangersinger 10 дней назад

Just got mine today. Knocked out a quick 7 miler and I knew right when I laced them up it was a win. I actually liked the SL1. Not a bad Daily. But this version is a solid contender for trainer of the year. What an improvement from Adidas.

One of the best-looking shoes in a long time, classic Adidas. Looking forward to trying this one, seems to be budget 'shoe of the year'. 👍

So certainly it feels like the best alternative to the Pegasus especially for those who think it got too heavy/mushy to be that all-rounder that doesn’t cost a lot to get.

@recguerra3 10 дней назад

To me Pegasus lies where Ultraboost is: more a comfy casual shoe than a racing shoe. And I bought a Peg 40 just to walk around. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@BrendanWise-ze6ih 6 дней назад

Love this shoe. Feels like the takumi without the rods and a little more cushion.

@recguerra3 10 дней назад

I have SL20. It's hard but it's historical, won't ever throw it away! It was a time I came back to run, when pandemics hit hard Brazil, and I used him and an Ultraboost. Just 4 years ago and how the market changed... The SL20 was marketed so cheap... with little mkt effort... I had to Google it to some insight... A fast shoe for beginners, something like that. And look how far the concept got... Can't avoid having one. And let's agree: a good daily trainer is what we use the most miles/km we run.... so who knows, maybe this is one of those worth spending the app 30% voucher and maaaaybe if I really like it, and get one or two years from know in love with him, have another pair to stock. Yes I'm hyped with this shoe!

@OdanUrr87 10 дней назад

Will you be doing Between Two Shoes pitting the SL 2 against other trainers like the Peg 41, Velocity Nitro 3, etc.? Curious to see how it compares to another trainer from Adidas, the Supernova Rise.

@oliverdking 9 дней назад

Find it odd when shoes like this get categorised at 'entry level'. I think thats quite misleading. I was watching a video with some adidas sponsored pro runners the other day, and they love this shoe for easy days and when they want to protect their feet a bit more. I dont think its entry level, its just for a different use.

@rendy5092 4 дня назад

I also think it's called entry level because of the price, it's afforable.

@MoysesSJNo 9 дней назад

in my country Boston 12 is the same price of Adizero sl2. The plan is to use as daily trainner and couple race days. Any reccommendation?

@nickatnite16 10 дней назад

Ordered same colorway for $91(adidas had 30% off this weekend)

@karls8989 10 дней назад

i think this will end up being better the rebel v4 because the foams are better

@Feanaro5503 10 дней назад

I would be interested in this shoe as a daily trainer, but I got the Rebel v3 and the Novablast 3 late last year.

@jimoconnor8597 9 дней назад

Wondering how this will stack up against the NB Propel V5?

@Powellcon_ 10 дней назад

Just got the SL2 Yesterday in this exact colourway. Already have 21KM on them. Same great responsiveness as the V1 but with more cushion and bounce. Energy return is great and they have a much more daily trainer feel than the Boston 12. More cushion and you can feel the lack of carbon in them, but still propulsive and great at picking up the pace or just cruising. I did get some rear ankle blistering but the lacing and upper is plush. Almost wish they shed a bit of extra weight and just used the upper from the Boston 12 as its much more breathable in hot weather or rain.

@MyBoxer96 10 дней назад

Do you prefer the Boston 12's or SL2??

@Powellcon_ 10 дней назад

@@MyBoxer96 Personally I prefer more ground feel and a quicker turn over so I would choose the Boston 12. Boston 12 would also be better for long runs and it’s more stable. SL2 is a huge improvement from the previous version, but the Boston 12 is truly a do it all shoe. If you want one shoe in your rotation that can do everything it’s really the Boston 12. But SL 2 would be better at easier paces, and the Adios Pro 3 is really lighter and more propulsive for race day. Adidas line up in 2024 is stacked.

A Boston 12 without the bells and whistles?

i'm rocking the peg 40 but this seems so tempting. i just don't get why they don't sell it here in Israel\Middle East yet! how long would it be worldwide sold?? like is it months now? or weeks?

Will this not work for someone with a slightly wider foot?

@femaciel 10 дней назад

Same arch poking as Rebel v3 (I have it and I’m selling it for that), narrow medial platform for wide feet and pronators. Tried SL2 on last sunday and didn’t work for me, bad instability unfortunately Btw: same problem with any Adidas shoes.. B12, Takumi, AP3

Looking for advice from anyone experienced! New runner here (about 14 months averaging 35 miles a week) Coming from a 4-5mm drop, will jumping to a 10mm drop be detrimental used as a daily ish trainer?

@OlieSimpson 10 дней назад

What are people saying for the sizing of this? I'm an 8.5 in both the Adios Pro 3 and the Takumi Sen 10, but an 8 in the Boston 12 - should I size up slightly and get the 8.5 if this is quite a narrow shoe?

@user-sx8rv5pz7u 9 дней назад

Normally a size 9 fits me perfectly, the SL2 runs small, a 9.5 fits me here

@Kaisersozze 10 дней назад

Is the Boston 12 wider in the toebox compared to this one?

So many comments and questions about comparison to the Boston12, but is this by chance a modernized, improved successor to the old but beloved in its day Boston9?

@Believeintherun 8 дней назад

This actually describes it pretty perfectly

@tav4755 7 дней назад

not even close. this has way too high stack and the boston 9 had the torsion system . the 9 let you run how you wanted to run, bad form and all. the sl2 is great, but unstable. you have bad form or over pronate the sl2 let's you know it. it is a nerfed boston 12. but that's not a bad thing.

@kommmitraus 10 дней назад

So its a Boston without energyrods?

@CriticalThinker02 10 дней назад

Doesn’t sound like it to me.

@olli-perttikojo4424 10 дней назад

Softer, borderline unstable heel, very low toebox in my exp. Fast and fun :)

@RunLiveSG 9 дней назад

Just ran an easy 5k in it. The review was spot on. I have a slight wide right foot so a bit of a snug. For $95 bucks, its an overall great shoe!

@LukaMagic-hg3dk 10 дней назад

I hope the 13th version of Boston could inherit the entire heel of SL2 Adidas and lessen the firmness of the Lightstrike Pro 2 or add more cushion on mid to heel section, hence could dethrone Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 and Puma Deviate Nitro 3
