Is the Adidas Adizero SL 2 the best value shoe on the market right now? I bought this shoe for £98 and was honestly shocked at how it felt when I ran in it! Potentially the greatest budget shoe of 2024?

An absolute beast! First run yesterday and I loved the shoe! Best daily trainer out there. Nike wake up, the Pegasus compared to this doesn't even seem like a running shoe

@sharkeyboe 6 дней назад

Adidas seem to have priced their shoes more fairly than the other big boys for a while now (with the notable exception of the Prime). This shoe is a very welcome addition.

@rinotz7 6 дней назад

And their members' program is way better than anything that other brands offer, also lots of sales going on all the time.

@Oubaitorii 3 дня назад

Agreed! I think that’s why it just seems like a better choice compared to some other brands currently.

@GuitarManUa 2 дня назад

But they have bad product warranty, only 6 months for all from buy day, and you need to return defective item to Adidas even if you send to them photo and all information they ask. Many bad reviews on American cite on shoes that cost more than 200 dollars. My winter ultraboosts wornout in 5 months.

@micktoland733 День назад

I love your channel, and I've watched many running channels. In 11 weeks from watching you I've gone from running from 2 lampposts to 9k using mainly your advice - I've even bought 4 of the shoes you've recommended from the budget velocity nitro 2 to the novablast 4, and the difference has been amazing (I plan to try this shoe too) . I have also recently downloaded the Strava app which was how I found out how far I ran. Previously in the 1970s and 80s we had to use a map and string etc. I'm a 64 year old former Multi award winning Powerlifter living in the midlands Derby (actually on the Derby Alvaston park run course). I ran the first 2 Derby marathons in 1982 and 83 using library books, Jim Fix's book and boxing training. The knowledge now compared to then has advanced so much especially around shoes and different styles of training. You are clearly passionate about the sport and your videos get right to the subject matter too which is why I prefer your channel and many of the lesser running channels seem to agree with your views, especially around daily shoes. keep up the good work amigo I shall keep watching I will buy a hat

Yo Ben you‘re not the first one Shoetuber that is so hyped about the Adidas Adizero SL2 🔥😄😍 I‘ve heard a lot of good things about it and I‘m considering changing to Team Adidas as well. That means from the beginning I was at team Nike 😉 and almost every Adidas shoe I heard about was rather negative 😅😄 So the SL2 would be my very first running shoe from Adidas 😄 I‘m just waiting to see this particular shoes goes on a discount to purchase one pair of them because everyone is so hyped up about it 😂😂😂 It must be quite something 🔥 Just heard about it the first time at the channel of Yowanna which is an amazing person and ran in it a lot 😃 I think I would prefer his color way in the gift green way not so the black version 👌🙌 Keep hammering mate 🔥👍

@robbiegreenslade 6 дней назад

Ordered a pair. I loved my NB 1080 v11’s. Best every day shoes I’ve ever had. Got the v12 and the soles were hard and non-responsive so I was hesitant to get the v13’s. I used to run in Adidas Ultra Boosts so I am returning to Adidas and hopefully I can some more enjoyable (and quicker) runs in. Great video Ben! Keep up the good work my mate. 👍🏻

@samerkaram 5 дней назад

NB 1080 v13 is plush heaven. Best recovery day shoe, works for daily and long runs.

@mch0lic 6 дней назад

Did ~1500km in SL, upper still in excellent state, outsole rubber worn through around toes, midsole foam visibly deformed but overall extremely happy with price and quality. I didn't expect it to last that long and I think I will be able to do at least another 100-200km in it. If SL2 is as wide and as comfortable as SL it will be first option for sure.

I went with my normal adizero size, 11 US, and can confirm that you should go up a half size. I'm 11.5 US in New balance and saucony, but 11 US in adidas normally, but this is the first time adidas has messed with the sizing. Just get away with it with thin socks. Agree with you that it is a good shoe, though only just over 20k so far in mine.

@MrGoGoF9 6 дней назад

Controversial opinion, but I really love the outgoing model. Yes, the foam is very hard out of the box, but it does soften up. I have had a few pairs which I have put over +800KM, with their being barely any wear on the sole. Can't wait to test the new model 👀

@MrAmitdaswani 6 дней назад

I purchased the Adizero SL last year. It was indeed a great value as I got it in the USA for $43+tax/shipping. Unfortunately, I won’t get this shoe again because it was as too narrow for my foot, even at a half size bigger. I use it in humid/hot weather and it is just not that comfortable to train in for more than a few hours.

@dillpicklesrgood 5 дней назад

How do you like the neo?

@paulmulks День назад

@jonhopkins6061 I really like them mate. I use them for my longer, slower efforts as they are super comfortable. My only gripe and it's a small one is how hot the upper makes my feet due to the knit material, however the flip side is that it's a really good fit and come the cooler months it might not be such an issue. I have had no stability issues either, so overall I'd definitely recommend picking it up if you want a really soft, bouncy long run shoe 👌🏻

@derekpugh5457 6 дней назад

Adidas has changed their sizing since the launch of the Ultraboost Light last year ! I used to use 8.5 US (26.5 cm) but this size is now equivalent to 25.9xm ! So I got to go with the size 9 with all Adidas shoes that is equivalent to 26.4cm . Um not sure why they have changed their sizing, becoming different to any other brand now.

I was thinking about picking up the prime X strung 2 and seeing if it could be used for both otherwise I am open to buying up two shoes respective to their own category just wondering your thoughts

@Powellcon_ 6 дней назад

I was loving the ride on Adidas Sl2. Put over 50KM on them in just a few days. But the heel lift was so bad for me it blistered both my ankles and took a chunk out of my skin. Never had such bad heel rub with any other shoe. The shoe flexes quite a lot compared to the Boston 12 and constantly pushed my heel up even with very tight lacing. They should have shaved weight and used the upper from the Boston 12 which I love.

@ganchinho 5 дней назад

how's the ride compared to the boston? can you do tempo runs or intervals on these (SL2)?

@Powellcon_ 5 дней назад

@@ganchinho Definitely can, its a more snug upper and softer underfoot. But can still pick up the pace. I tested them out with some faster efforts around 3:30-4 Min Per KM. They work well up to 16-18KM with some pick ups and strides. Did a double in them with 23KM total last week and both runs were peppy. My only issue is blistering and ankle rub which I dont experience with any other Adizero shoe in the same sizing.

@ganchinho 5 дней назад

@@Powellcon_ thanks Powell. For the money I think it's worth a try. Current daily is the triumph 21, which I love, but I need an alternative that can handle faster tempo runs, intervals, etc. I'm lean towards these tbh.
