Ep142 Adidas Response IG1417 (one of the good finds this year 2024) 

hi EasylifeEs just so you know the Adidas RC 5 didnt took long. It got scratch on the side so its torn now. lol. I just did 80 miles give and take on them and its squeezing my toe on the right foot and its blacked now lol. I really hope the new adidas running line of and the affordble shoes are durable so I can depend on them

@@Munchkinz11 Thanks for sharing your genuine experience with those adidas RC 5's. At a first glance, I can tell that those RC's they might not be durable. Because: thin upper, thin partial outsole and much lighter in general that these "adidas Response"... That is why I try to ignore lightweight sneakers in general. I like them, but the compromises... are just too big for ME... Or maybe... I'm little bit too cheap... who knows ?!? : )

Thanks. As you've seen in the beginning and the end of this episode, those are coming next (work in progress right now). So, is just a matter of time till that episode will be released.

Thank you for watching my video! I'm trying to present everything from a real POV. I mean, if I was looking for a new pair for myself right now and looking to expose all the Pros and Cons from my perspective.

I feel that they will do better than others. That is my first impression with them. The upper is thick enough the outsole much better than most that I've seen this year... So I don't see a reason not to last. The toebox area felt correct for my feet that have a regular width (not narrow nor wide). About long runs... I believe for under 15km/9.32mi for every run they will do OK. Over that range maybe something with bigger stack and more plush foam to protect better the joints... but that is something very personal I suppose. Everyone know his/her's needs and they should try them for 5-10 minutes straight indoors, before taking them out for a first run... That will be my advice with all the footwear in general. If 10 minutes later you haven't notice any weird pressure point somewhere... for me they had past the initial test. I think that at least 90% of the people will be happy with these ones. The rest of it are more experienced or they simply don't find a correct fit in them...

Hi there, Thank you for your appreciation! About Adidas Response vs Galaxy 6. There is NO contest, really (in this case). The level of cushioning of Galaxy 6 doesn't get close to the one from Response simply because the stack is too different. Response has quite a bit more (front & back) and we can feel it instantly. It might not be plush as in New Balance Fresh Foam or Nike Zoom, but because of the stack they can still offer a decent amount of cushioning under the feet. They are not perfect by no means, but for the price they are "a nice rarity" by today industry's standards. Adidas Response were a pair of sneakers that I honestly was considering to keep while filming. Because 90% of them I don't even contemplate to keep them thinking that they don't really worth the money. Maybe at some point with "the right discount" I might get a pair for myself, will see. Normally the problem for me is the space... how much of that I want to sacrifice in my home only for my footwear. :)

@@EasyLifeES Wow...didn't expect such a detailed reply! Thanks for the quick response!

@@b_sobhan_ Sure, you're welcome!

@@b_sobhan_ Sure, you're welcome! I'm trying to be helpful every time I can and have some spare time.

Hi there, About RC 5's... I never tried them so I will hold my opinion till I have the chance. But about "Response Super"... I'm not sure why not just "Response" that are more affordable, better outsoles and better cushioning too. Just my opinion...

Terimakasih sodara

With that kind of running I don't have experience unfortunately. Maybe someone else can guide this time. Sorry that I can't be more helpful this time.

Thanks!

For ME... Absolutely... Better than both.

Hi there, Considering the weight, the terrain and the purpose probably this Adidas Response is the best solution because: the outsole has firmnes but without losing in comfort do to "the decent amount of midsole stack" that keeps the cushioning effect, also the full rubber outsole that is wide enough and helps with the stability and longevity especially in that tartan track, which can be a serious problem for every sneaker outsoles after some weeks of use. If the width (that is roomy enough for regular width feet) is not an issue for you, I don't see any real problems really. Questar and Arishi having softer foams... will end up ageing prematurely... so I can't recommend them. Not to mention that have partial rubber outsoles. To this "Adidas Response" the only changes that I will like to see in the future (that will never happen most likely) are: 1. +2-3mm more on those full rubber outsoles, 2. +1cm wider tongue (I have mid-high arch) 3. Better lining fabric, that is ordinary right now (maybe same with the one seen in Ep135 that in the past 2 years had become for me the best in running sneakers IMO, not only in NB I've seen it... Adidas UB Light COLD.RDY has it too now, Ep139) I hope this answer helps you!

@@EasyLifeES thank you very much

Sure, you're welcome!

In cushioning they aren't better than Questar 2 (just a small difference), but for me are better made (as longevity goes) and because the cushioning is a smidge better in Questar 2 is not enough to chose Questar 2 over Response when I lose Safety and Longevity of the shoe. Now obviously everyone has his/hers "needs" and is FREE to pick the one that it prefers. Both are very good options over the rest of the running sneakers that we can find today in stores. The value for money is REAL here.

I prefer the Response seen in this video, over the 3.0 version. I has better outsole and less bulky design.

Thank you.. I will get this shoes then

I hope you will enjoy them! You're welcome!
