100 Mile Review: Adidas Adizero SL2

The Adidas Adizero SL2 is an everyday running shoe designed to offer a fast and versatile ride. Priced at $130, it offers a core of race foam in the midsole and comes in at a more affordable price point than many similar shoes on the market. In this video, I share my experience running in the shoe through 100 miles and let you know my thoughts on how it shoe stacks up.

"You will never change your life until you change something you do daily"
Your commitment to this is epic and we would all do well to apply that same commitment to something important in our own lives.

hit 123 miles in my pair today.. zero issues so far.. can’t notice ANY wear on the outsole.. upper is starting to get a little more forgiving in the forefoot but still has its structure and lockdown through the midfoot.. the midsole’s versatility is still there.. just so so good

I never post on youtube, but just want to thank you for the good vibes and the hard work you put your videos. Keep doing what you do!

Yo What anyone says to you doesn't matter!! Its what you say to yourself and if that inspires just a few people.... Then thats cool. You inspire me brother. I have a special needs child that needs 24hr care and a wife with terminal cancer, sometimes life feels mad so i need that inspiration some days. Big up yourself, thank yiu very much and let's go. Team superblast 😂

Picked up the SL2 for $100 a couple of weeks ago when you alerted us to the sale. Thank you so much!!!

Yowana, you’re a huge inspiration for me! Just started running two months ago and this channel has been a huge reason for me to stay consistent and exercise not only my body but my mind. You’re going great things man!

[funoffan]

Literally just did a 5k with this shoe 30 second ago. 😂 Bought this shoe because of of this channel. Truly a fun shoe to train on. Thanks for the motivation! ❤

[pearsbears]

Your videos have changed the way I see my own relationship with running and saying in relative good health overall. I always WANT to go for a run, but the motivation is dampened by everyday things that come up. After watching your videos, I have also started to prioritize my running and seeing how I can better incorporate it on a weekly basis. Keep doing what you’re doing, inspiring people. I watch til the end, and it’s not always about the shoes. It’s to remind myself that grinding out those miles will make me healthier, and less stressed.

Saw the video commenting about your subscriber count and video style. Haters better stay mad cause we ain’t going anywhere

[VictoriaLee-reex]

My sl2's just arrived, thanks to your vids that always keep it real. Keep on producing this great content!

[lovetherun]

100 Mile Review more than a month in the making... inspirational! Truly respect and appreciate the discipline and dedication required to deliver such golden content 🌟👏

Loving my SL2's as well! I do get some rubbing from the upper along the base of my left toe after 4 or so miles... but it's too fun of a shoe to not run in. Blister bandaids have become a great friend! 😆 Thanks for the recommendation!

[Shipwreckruns]

Thanks for the venerability, it’s easy on this side of the screen to think YouTuber’s lives are easier. Also, you know you’re doing the right thing when you get haters

[bobbrown]

Love the channel, it's unique, your passion and dedication is amazing. Picked up the SL2 based on your review, keep up the great work, much love from Australia 👍

[Lemonlimelite_]

This is the most genuine, down to earth review I have ever seen for a shoe. Thank you for your transparency on how you view your personal discipline, it’s very inspiring! I just subscribed to your page and placed an order for the SL2!

[kuriosites]

Yeah, your channel has grown really fast but that's because you've put in a ton of work; you've gone out-of-pocket for a lot of the shoes; and you've developed this really unique vlogging style of video that at least 14K people must enjoy. I watch your videos every day.

On the SL2, I really like that feeling of not having a lot of shoe on my foot. I've also thought in the context of you and I wearing the same size. You're much bigger and stronger than I am so a 10+ oz. shoe feels like a lot towards the end of the run.

I hope you got out early this morning to beat the heat. I'll probably find out tomorrow morning.🖖

I have 20 miles in my sl2 I added it to this rotation which is Adidas Takumi Sen 9, Boston 11 (which has softened up alot no longer a brick and sl 1 gets some work and now sl 2 I AGREE ADIDAS SL2 IS SHOE OF YR. PERFECT PRICE TECH ALL IN ONE...LOVE IT. TY ADIDAS TY YOWANA great review if you have tall mid foot or toes this is not shoe for you. a snug .race fit which I like in some shoes 🥰 perfect shoe

[jardesto]

Just want to say thanks for the grind! I used to use Reddit as my main resource to find recent reviews and comparisons on any shoe, but that’s a wide variety of sources on a very subjective…subject. Nice to have a single source covering all the major shoes!

[DSKHo]

Just had my first run in the SL2 this morning at easy pace. Feels good and protective! Gone half a size up, as adidas shoes tend to be run small to me due to my high volume foot!

Looking at your laces, I just realised that I have been short changed, mine are barely long enough! I have new laces on order! Apart from that can't complain, especially when I got them for £80 (just over $100). In today's market that's a bit of a bargin!

[nelsonsze]

I greatly appreciate your channel, especially your shoe reviews. Keep up the good work! 🎉

[TOMTOM-bnhz]

I think you've been overworking your body for a review lately. I'm very grateful for this dedication and would like to encourage you to take a break. I'm afraid that one day suddenly your new video won't be uploaded.
