Please cover more running shoes. There’s so much tech in these shoes that eventually trickle down to other sports.
@JeremyGiese Жыл бұрын
Look fwd to v2 saw pics and they shaped the midsole more like the adidas adios adizero pro 3. More stability since the stack height is so bonkers high. Lightstrike pro is phenomenal in a lot of the “super foams” I have tried. It gets better with more and more you use it. Now if we can get adidas to put it in their hoop shoes like maybe in a puck or pod shape that would be awesome!

It would be also nice if in the durability section you also take accountability of the midsole. I feel like sometimes the midsole might bottom out before the outsole wears out.

I'm a rear foot to midfoot striker, and i agree with you, they are highly unstable in the heel. I can't use them on hills or curves or any surface with a side incline or bumps. I end up in pain if i do. But i still use them on flat road runs as often as i can, cause they are still the most efficient shoes i have for long distance. I just need to be careful.

Still great but no longer the cutting edge it used to be. I don't have any fancy laboratory to inspect it however you can find loads of reviews where people mention this. I experienced it first with the Vaporfly V2.

I would love to know if it goes under the foot or if it’s just on the rim of the shoe. Awesome awesome video as usual brotha I can’t run in these I’m flat footed and my foot shakes lol when I push full force into the prime x shoe. So sadly can’t wear them while running. God bless

I just started playing tennis again and I want some cool looking shoes but I don’t really like how most tennis sneakers look. You have a list of best tennis sneakers for basketball. Could you make a video of the best basketball sneakers for tennis. I’ve been looking at low top basketball sneakers with high traction and a thick midsole. Per your best outdoor basketball sneakers, I’m planning on buying the air jordan zoom separates but I would like to hear your opinion on what is best. I feel like design wise basketball shoes look so much better.

I have these and they are INCREDIBLE! I'm usually 10.5 sent them back for a 10 and they are much more stable - my foot felt like it was swimming in the 10.5. only knock on these is that it gives me heel blisters - so have to wear double thin socks or mole skin - but once that was cleared up they ran like a dream! NOT for heel strikers - in fact Adidas should have a warning on this shoe (no joke) this is not a walking shoe or a basket ball shoe - you are asking for serious trouble if that's what you bought it for - these shoes are not meant to go slow even though they are large they are very light and the propulsion is extreme. They will make you run faster but also save your legs and conserve energy - in other words these shoes are cheating. But who cares, I'm not going to be on a podium any time soon and these are crazy fun to run in. Highly recommended for mid and forefoot neutral runners.

I'd like to see a more supportive rear foot even if it becomes heavier version of this. that's the biggest drawback for me coz I'd love to wear this casually too but even just walking, if the floor is uneven, I find my ankles kinda rolling due to the narrow heel and unstructured heel. even something like the heel clip of a kobe 6 I think would do wonders for stability of this shoe. as it is now, this is for a more niche elite forefoot strikers.

@jean-phil Жыл бұрын
Great review! I own 30+ pairs of various running shoes, mostly recent "supershoes", there is indeed something special about the foam that makes them smoother/softer after a few miles, I think the same applies to other lightstrike shoes. Also as you said, they appear to be best for specific runners. Personally my fav super shoe for training/speed is still Nike Tempo Next because I think they are more stable and the energy return feels better for my "gate cycle". I also like the SC trainer for totally different kind of "foot stride" (these are best for rear landing imho).
