Here i was hoping that since Thomas is doing this one alone, he can finally go into the nitty gritty details on how they feel under the fatpads. But he restrained himself wow.
I’m more excited about the AF3 today (since it’s going to be widely available) but very interested to see what Adidas is able to bring from the Evo 1 into their other shoes in the next 2-3 years.
Nice job all by yourself, Thomas! Satisfies that curiosity factor about the Evo1 which I know I’ll never try. I did get the AF3 for a 30 day trial when I went in planning to buy a fresh pair of Endo Pro3’s😂 Jury is out but they’re awfully impressive, coming from someone who never wanted to try another Nike racer after returning the VF Next% several years ago!
I used to run in the Vaporfly before switching to the Alphafly 1, but after just one test run, I had to send them back to Nike because they felt so uncomfortable. I then made the switch to the Adios Pro for my marathons. Now, for a change, I’m planning to give the newest Alphafly a try after watching this great review. By the way, I recently ran the 50th Anniversary Berlin Marathon, and it was one of my best experiences. Looking forward to listening to your podcast to hear about your experience in Berlin!
Enjoyed the video Thomas and loved your insight into the two shoes. I obviously haven't run in the adidas but have the AF3 and feel like it will be a great shoe. Prices have just gone silly though!
The saltiness in these comments about the prices of these shoes. Guys (and gals), if you're not buying it then don't watch the video! Or just... don't comment? Some of us are just curious, and appreciate the detailed comparison.
LOL ... ikr ... like somehow $300 for a pair of shoes is justified but $500 is "too much" LOL ... The have and the have nots ... we all know that everyone secretly want that $500 pair so bad, but gets angry when they can't afford it. Now they know how an average runner feels when they can't afford super shoes.
If you’re willing to pay almost double on GOAT, StockX or EBay, then yeah, they are available today. Too bad there’s a 50% chance it’ll be a Chinese fake 🤷🏻♂️
Airpod popped so I took out some zoom foam from an old pair and replaced the pads with the foam. The shoes were faster and felt better. The airpods I doubt have anything to do with performance but they are definitely more durable than the foam. Have to to put in new foam every 100 miles. That is why I think Nike went with the pods.
Can we ask Nike why they can't make a slightly lighter version of the vaporfly? I can take a slight hit on the durability by less rubber and maybe even channel out some foam.
I think the Nike is an easy choice here. The fact that the adidas shoe is basically one time use is basically a zero value proposition for a non elite non-professional runner. I'm sure that there will be people with more money than sense that went to buy it but realistically the Nike is just a better choice
The value proposition is the shoe is 110gr ... and the AF3 is 180gr But $300 for a pair of running shoes isn't "more money than sense" .. .but $500 makes you a moron. LOL
I honestly don’t think it would be very difficult for Nike to get a vaporfly to around 5 ounces if they just threw durability out of the window and used a forked plate
Neither do these super shoes interested me at all. AF2 was a disaster and I can't afford a USD500 pair of shoes designed for mileage of 50km. Finally I can lock myself out of these super shoes insanity.
This was the most serious I’ve seen Thomas. I feel like I was getting some heart to heart advice from my guidance counselor
Keep that gpa up.

This was a great format, don’t do yourself down! You’re a good communicator
That was a great review; detailed and thoughtful. Do more like that.

Getting the alphaflys for my daily trainers feeling good about this decision
Great video! Do you think the Alphafly works for slower / middle of the pack runners as well? My MP is about 9 minutes.
I’m not sure. My warm up paces are in the nines and the shoe still feels good. It really sings when you through an effort in though.
I was waiting for this for a long time!!
The video… it’s giving .. sitting near a fireplace / drinking a coffee vibe. Love it
Thanks! Waiting same battle between Nike Vs. NB Elite V4 ( Which one is better on wet road?)
Nike wins.
"Available today"
If you’re willing to pay almost double on GOAT, StockX or EBay, then yeah, they are available today. Too bad there’s a 50% chance it’ll be a Chinese fake 🤷🏻♂️
as soon as thomas said that.., I was like “say what ??”
Excellent comparison as ever. Like from Spain. I prefer the Adidas adizero adios pro 3. Have a great day.
Airpod popped so I took out some zoom foam from an old pair and replaced the pads with the foam. The shoes were faster and felt better. The airpods I doubt have anything to do with performance but they are definitely more durable than the foam. Have to to put in new foam every 100 miles. That is why I think Nike went with the pods.
Is Adidas releasing a regular addios pro 4 anytime soon?
Fall
Def agree. The value vs the usage on the Adidas its just not worth it
Can we ask Nike why they can't make a slightly lighter version of the vaporfly? I can take a slight hit on the durability by less rubber and maybe even channel out some foam.
the vaporfly is already one of the lightest marathon racers and is way more durable than the evo 1
It was fun! 👌🏼
Which shoe that i can't have do i want?
There is already a new lineup announced on the Nike app/website.
I hope you can get your hands on that mental 90 grams 361° shoe, for a review
Between 2 shoes NO ONE CAN PURCHASE. Great video for the people.
For a single marathon race. Which shoe is preferred?
so is it "ahdee DAS" or "uhdeetus"

Adi was short for Adolph his last name was Dassler.
I love how a $300 shoe is the budget option in this case.
Believe me so does Nike!
Whats your credentials ? A 25, minute 5km ? Lmao
These are marathon shoes not 5k shoes.
@@Believeintherun what's your marathon time, 4 hours ?
You could've had Megan and Robby stand on each side of you so we could just listen to you while looking at them.

But $300 for a pair of running shoes isn't "more money than sense" .. .but $500 makes you a moron. LOL
AF2 was the most stable shoe out of all the versions of AFs. It’s unfortunate that Nike has downgraded to AF3, which is such a wobbly unstable shoe.
AF2 iwas the best.
I honestly don’t think it would be very difficult for Nike to get a vaporfly to around 5 ounces if they just threw durability out of the window and used a forked plate
Nah ... you guys just think shaving 2oz is easy ... LOL ... without losing structural integrity.
The next colorway coming out of the AF 3 is sooooooo UGLY that they will be super cheap by April. What the actual....
Yeah man😂😂😂😂 I dont know what they were thinking. At this point, they should atleast be self aware with the aesthetics 😢
Great video, I however don't think any shoe should be considered in the conversation unless the shoe is fairly readily available
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OOHHH
Available yesterday :))). Not today.
Unless you are an elite runner why waste money on either shoe.
You can't compare 2 pair of shoes when one of them last more than 1 race.
Or when only 1 shoe is really available...
Not comparable shoes, Adidas only 500 were sold and are to be used on 1 marathon only, no not for the masses.. Nike is for the masses...
Neither do these super shoes interested me at all. AF2 was a disaster and I can't afford a USD500 pair of shoes designed for mileage of 50km. Finally I can lock myself out of these super shoes insanity.
Nike
Adidas just keep adding words to their shoes-their marketing dept must be understaffed
Adidas is loosing over $1000 per shoe.. It's very different techniques of shoe making used to make prototype.
Af3 look awful/evo1 look amazing
