when you started this new format, i did not expect much, but boy oh boy, was i wrong. It is such a joy to watch those kinds of videos, i take them any day over a normal review. You not only make some valuable remarks about the shoes, most of all, you put the joy of running in nature into the main focus, and that makes my heart jump up and down with joy. Thanks a lot for putting a great idea into the world
God, I love these Trail Tested Reviews so much. Thanks for another solid video and spiking my interests in those Hyperfly's. Huge props for the filming and editing. I was about to rewind for the swoop, but then remembered who I was watching. Thanks for that perfect edit and slowmo!
Watching this reminds me of Salomon sponsored runs, UTMB etc…camera guy is doing an awesome job…Go Killian I mean Ginger Runner 🤙🏽😉 smile everyone, and have a great weekend.
Trail tested is an amazing format, loving it! Could you do a head to head of the Nike range? So many models now, never sure how each model stacks up against each other
Great video again! Your first impression of the Adidas reminded me of my first run in the original Saucony Mad River and the newer Exodus UItra. In both cases, they got more comfortable after getting them wet (rainy run with the MR, stream crossing with the EU. Maybe the same would work with the Adidas. Keep up the good stuff, owl man!
Very nice indeed, another nice trail testing! Did not know the Ultrafly had a plate, that is a first for Nike on the tral (: keep it up buddy, cant wait fir the full review!
Keep these up! I love your reviews, but this enhances it a little more, actual first run perspective helps. heel rub, volume issues, tight spots, all that, keep content coming!
From one Ginger 😝to another! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Any Adidas I’ve ever owned I’ve had to double tie. I still use them. So far I’m still loving my HOKA ONE ONE Mach 4 Superfly’s
Great video, so glad you posted this. Almost pulled the trigger on the adidas but I think you've rightfully dissuaded me and thus saved me some money haha
My first trail shoe was a Terrex Agravic! Hated it to the bone! Only two good things about it... the outsole and the way the water went off! Had to adjust the lacing it every 3k!!!
This was fantastic! You get a pretty good workout doing these :) Does it make sense to compare the Nike Ultrafly Trail to the Saucony Endorphin Edge? Seems like a similar concept: super foam, carbon plate, wider platform, and shallow lugs.
Great review. Please review the Adidas Terrex Speed Flow 225. It placed top 3 both men and woman at the 50 K at UTMB. I bought it for 65 USD here in Norway. Its a very good shoe. Very light, and suprising cushioning for its lower stack height.
@@TheGingerRunner yup, some MUCH worse than others-u learn where the particularly “worse” ones are and give that area a wide berth…bit of added adrenaline tho until you work out which places to avoid for a couple months🤣they usually come from behind, so you often just hear them (freaky!), or feel their beaks in the back of the head if ur real unlucky…consequently, my run routes get changed up quite a bit this time of year🤣😂🤣😂
I was on edge waiting for the owl jumpscare. Nikes have been the only bunion shoe I can stand (I'll give them that, points on the generous joint flyknits), but dang, do they not drain off or dry. The non-goretex pegasus trail is just the coldest, wettest shoe I have ever owned.
Great review, the Nike looks good. Always expensive though 😢 GR I'd love to see you try the Topo Ultrafly 4 at some point for a review, it's been amazing for a wide footer like myself 👍
For me Nike is like a bad relationship you swear off, then after some time you think ohhh- that looks good, let’s try it again, I’m sure it will be different this time….and it’s not. Also good to know I’m not the only person to wonder if I pooped my pants on a trail run….
again a great video and shoe introduction; not like many other channels this video is a realistic footage - a combination of nature / running and joy.. - as average runner I love the honest opinion and footage which I can rely on... great work!
Thanks for one of the first Ultrafly reviews! I had great hopes, but over 300gr seems too heavy for me. My Salamon s lab pulsar only weight 210gr in size 12...
Genuinely, this is GREAT content, thank you! Those Nike look amazing but not as awesome as the trails you get to meander through. What a nice change from the usual early thoughts stuff, kudos
Adidas terrex have been hit and miss for me, terrex speed ultra took 200 miles to bed in, although actually enjoying them now, terrex two ultra have been great out of the box but the knit means I don't risk them on technical terrain
I gave the Adidas Terrex Agravic Flow 2 a 150 mile try.... While the fit is good, and the upper did soften, they always feel like 3/4" plywood under foot. I want Adidas shoes to work so badly (I dont know why) but they are just too firm and too stiff time and time again. It makes me wonder if they make custom shoes for their athletes or I am just too soft
Another great test review, can’t wait for an update on the Nike when you have put more miles into them. Any plans to test the new Atreyu Base Trail? I received my pair here in the UK a few days ago, hoping to get out in them tomorrow.
Great review as always. I don’t know, it being 2022 and all, should shoes require significant break in periods? Bit of a non-starter for me. Any thoughts on how the first pair impacts your impressions of the second pair you try? Did the Adidas stiffness make you appreciate the Nike more? Yeah, too bad Nike’s profit margins are so slim they have to charge folks a ton of money for their shoes 🙄 Also, thoughts on off-leash dogs on trails?
I'd say the poor Adidas impressions absolutely contributed to a more positive second loop in the Nikes - but I figured that'd happen so tried to regulate my excitement. As for off-leash dogs, I am absolutely a fan of leashes, even if long, as I've been attacked/chased by plenty of "normally nice" dogs off-leash.
Lmaooo Adidas fanboys are crying at "a birthday cake you get at a grocery store". That was an epic Barred Owl cameo - awesome vid as always, it's like being out on a run with you (props to your camera person getting great footage and running along!). So many off-leash dogs!
Really like these reviews, but could you please not walk in a circle at the end? It makes me nauseous and I don’t want to end the video feeling like I’m gonna hurl. 😀
Why is the Nike the superstar?? Really, why? Overpriced and not durable. Adidas is a much more durable, resistant shoes. I guess people are paid by Nike, and is clear in these videos, so much publicity on Nike.
