Adidas Adizero SL2 #firstrun

First run in the Adizero SL2. Absolutely love the update. More of what I wanted more of (lighstrike pro). Less of what I wanted less of (foam padding and lighstrike). Stays true as an Adizero SL and as an elevated SL20.
.
Still not going to be a long run shoe for me, but it’s an excellent daily trainer that will be as easy to recommend to a wide range of runners, just as the last version was. It’s also really nice at faster paces, so it will also be a good candidate for some speedwork.

Tried them in store today - very positive surprised

[jonahmays]

Not usually a fan of black foam but these are absolute 🔥

[tgibridays]

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these. Especially since you liked v1 and a few reviewers have said these are a complete 180 in terms of midsole softness and these are almost unstably soft and squirley which you often like as well.

[kuriosites]

Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive for a value-priced shoe. I'm interested to get your take.

Probably gonna pick up a pair in black and ask for the green at Christmas time

I have version one. I love them a lot for standing. Sounds funny, I know, but it’s something about the width in the front and the firmness underneath. They really my feet from getting sore if I have to stand all day. I don’t like them much for walking long distances and I really dislike them running. The cushiony shoes I like for running are generally not good for standing. I’d get another pair just for those standing days. I’m so curious about the new version.

Don't mind the SL, but definitely prefer my Boston 12s, already on a second pair of both shoes. But with summer in full force here in Guangdong, my SLs felt like I'd been running through puddles at the end with all the sweat they collected. Definitely perfer shoes that don't soak up large amounts of water.

im saving for superblast 2 but this shoe is testing my patience

[aquicktake]

your macro shots have gotten to a whole other level.

[paulackerman]

Did you ever do a review on the adidas boost light?

[emkama]

Swiftwick socks? If they are, they are my fave

[DillonJan]

Went up a size which is in the same size as my AP3, the SL2 fit me fine. I have a wide midfoot.

The ride of the thick rubber outsole is very noticeable, kinda remind me of the outsole on the puma deviate nitro 2. Anyway, can't wait for @kofuzi review of this shoe.

[Prakash.Uthappa]

What brand of earbuds are those? They're cool!

[samshuler]

What kind of shirt is that? Looks sick

[liiou]

Will these be a good replacement for the rebel v3?

[hauhalim]

What suitable for this adizero SL2...kofuzi San?

[cheekster]

Just considering whether to pick up a pair of the v1 SL as they are on sale on the adidas UK site right now. Thoughts?

Thank you Mike.

[rizalomar]

I've got to go half size up. Not suitable for people with wide feet

[Nobodycares]

Honey that guy's running carrying a pole again
