Thanks for the video, have fun in New York. I will say though, as even as someone who was initially really excited about the Evo SL, how they have done the release is really off putting with the extra early hype cycle and raffles for a chance to buy. More excited for the Novablast 5 because you'll actually be able to buy it
I have always been imagining an Adizero shoe with a purely Lightstrike Pro midsole without any kind of rods in it. I'm so happy that Adidas made this shoe. It even looks like the Pro Evo 1 which is aesthetically stunning for me. I have ran 33km in the Evo SL as of this writing and I am really loving it. Great review as always. 😊
Thank you Mike for calling out the marketing gimmicks from the brands. This is one of the reason why I watch your videos, fairness! Congrats on the 200k subscribers!
Cool that you got both. I was just wondering if it was some exclusive adidas room that I can't get in. Great to hear it was in the main hall and regular folks could buy. Was everything MSRP?
Yeah just go to their booth in the expo. It’s connected to a fleet feet so I imagine if the shoes don’t workout for you, you could return them to FF. Yes, MSRP.
Love your work Ko. Really looking forward to getting a pair of the Evo SL and also the incoming Adios 9. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the Takumi Sen recently and would like some rod-free, lower stack training and session companions to rotate thru. I have used the AP3 heaps in the past but recently I am finding the max stack height a bit of overkill for me as I get faster and more efficient. Pretty leaner runner here (~60kg) so the TS is feeling like the right amount of foam that I can actually compress properly.
Loved the video but I do think that the Boston handles fast paces well, at least for me! Wonder what the new stuff related to the Adios is, I had the Adios 7 and really loved it!
Yoohh Been waiting for your review on this shoe, yes there are many reviewers post it already but I wait for this, more precise and have options! Btw Congrats on 200k+ 🎉🎉
Very nice video, thanks a lot! How does the Adizero Sl 2 compare to the Evo Sl as a daily trainer? Also in the Adidas app, the release date is december 12th (at least here in Germany). So maybe the hype or the pre drop (which was last week in Germany) was so big that they changed the release date for everyone. I really appreciate your videos, keep the good work up🙏
I think the March release was a bluff. Adidas wouldn't have increased production to such a degree that they're 4 months ahead of schedule, and they wouldn't have sat on stock for months. They can sustain the hype until December and stop people shopping elsewhere, except for high mileage runners/in desperate need of a shoe.
Looks like this will cannibalize sales of the Boston -- which was _supposed_ to be the tempo trainer in the lineup lol. Faster, even without rods. Happy that poor B12 at least got mentioned. I'm thinking I might even pick the EVO SL over the venerable Novablast -- though the latter comes in snazzier colors.
It’s been a while since the Boston has gotten an update. I’m not sure where they can even take it without it becoming very redundant with another shoe in the lineup, but I think that’s pretty much a difficulty that adidas is accustomed to, as they have just so many models
@@jimoconnor8597 like, by durable i mean lightstrike pro maintains its properties for much longer than zoom x, especially since i am a heavy runner. Zoom x looses its bounciness fairly quickly compared to light strike pro or ff turbo.
I think Adidas has been struggling to figure out what to do with the Boston for a long time. Do I think the Boston _should_ be in the max cushion category? No Is that what Adidas made? I argue yes
Having run ~40 miles in the Evo SL and a variety of workouts, for me it's an amazing lightweight trainer or long run shoe but not an up tempo/ performance trainer. The LS Pro here is soft, without any complementary element, and doesn't have the bounce when it is pushed. Moreover, the soft and and flexible forefoot makes the angle of the rocker almost flat, so you don't have nay feel of propulsion. Hence, no "mechanical assistance".
sounds great. if it would make for a good long run shoe ( up to 25km for me) and it can handle daily it will be my jam. Everything speedy I will do in the TS10 which I love for that purpose.
got lucky to get this early and this is now in my rotation along with my boston 12s. This is the perfect daily trainer for me since i found the invincible run 3 and rebel v4 very squishy. just perfect imho
2025 is going to be the era of the daily trainers with super high quality foam that can handle most types of runs. Plated "super trainers" are losing their appeal because of price and the fact that race shoes can do everything better. Thanks for another great review.
I just got the shoe and It’s like the Pro 3 but in a more comfortable daily upper and without the spring in the toe off, other than that it’s almost identical. One thing to note is the outsole is thin .. much thinner than other dailies.
@ a do everything shoe for me (it can do easy although I don’t use it that way). That 60% rocker location is perfect for my feet…and removing the cut outs from midsole really ups the stability. I’ve started using carbon less and less for uptempo training work so it slots into where I would have worn those in the past.
Can't wait to try these. Although, I'll be waiting for the Pro 4 to part with my cash. Was a huge fan of the Pro 2 and 3. Pro 2 might still be my favourite running shoe, ever. 🏃♂️
The problem with this review is Adidas and everyday products on limited release. Why should I bother watching something I can't buy. It rubs consumers up the wrong way, creates bad vibes towards influencers who get sent things consumers can't buy ...net bad for nearly everyone. You me and Adidas who get no sales off the review. Otherwise good review as always.
All great reasons why I usually don’t like to review shoes until a couple weeks before it comes out. But with all the trickle drops, I felt like I needed to do this sooner than later
@@kofuzi I hear you. The blame lies with Adidas, just release the damn shoe in sufficient quantities to meet demand. They're throwing good money away .
As always. Great review. Looking at the Evo SL for my first marathon (3h35-3h45 target). Despite the big price difference, I would be interested in your thoughts on the Evo SL vs the New Balance Balos as I feel you would have used both similarly if the Balos wasn't causing you foot pain. Congrats on 200K!🎉
Kofuzi is solely responsible for me buying so many running shoes that I could do without.. On the other hand I can thank him for igniting my passion for running :)
Kofuzi, how would you say it is vs Mach 6 for daily trainer? On paper both lightweight, somewhat aggressive rocker geo, and can do up temo but doent shine for hardest or longest efforts. Cant wait to try this on next spring though. Adidas really upped the game (at least on paper) with this shoe. The concept is great and the price is going to make it hard to beat. If it performs like i think cant see it not being a best seller.
Please do an Asics Novablast 5 vs NB Rebel v4 vs Adidas Evo SL. When you do, please advise on the toe box width of the Adidas Evo SL. Great Indepth reviews you are doing.
The outsole does not cover the outer forefoot. For those supinate, the midsole will definitely be exposed. But i know lightstrike is quite durable compared to zoomx.
Thank you for the review. Can’t wait to lace these up. How would you compare them to the SL2? Been loving them for the last couple of months. Are they that different?
I suppose one way to look at them would be to say SL2 vs Evo SL are analogous to Peg vs Peg Plus. Although, I prefer the Adidas option in each instance
Can't wait for this! I used to Boston 12 as the daily trainer for 7 months and it good enough. But I'm looking for a non-carbon plated shoe. Is Evo SL a good choice for me?
I think the rebel v4 has the best shaore midsole for mild pronators. If i would give suggestion for jex version, is to make the stack height higher and embrace being a daily trainer. That's most critical for me
Nice review. Easier decision for us in the UK because NB has extortionate prices, so this Evo SL stands alone in the price segment. I think I'll be picking it up.
@kofuzi take a look, often it’s the same as the dollar value, but in pounds. So that’s basically a 20-30% premium even taking into account us sales taxes.
Thanks for the great review! Do you think this one can replace Boston 12 as a LSD trainer? I am thinking about a rotation for my next marathon build, and I plan to have superblast 2 for long run with workout miles, adios pro 4 for race, takumi sen 10 for intervals & VO2max, evo sl for LSD and SL 2 for daily miles. How do you like this?
I see you finally picked up a Brooks Aurora-BL in your Run Club segment. How are you getting along with it? Kind of fast and firm, but I loved the decoupled forefoot and hindfoot on that shoe. Plus, it looks like it's from the future.
Mike, you have mentioned on the last few iterations of the Boston that the shoe wasn't "Boston" enough - will this new formula produce the next Boston that's Boston enough for Boston training?
I'm very excited to try this shoe, simply due to the heel cup/collar design. The traditional Adizero heel lockdown is TERRIBLE for me. But this shoe just seems like everything I'd want for the types of runs I'd intend to use it for. I was thinking about the Peg Turbo (plus....icky name), but thinking I'll hold out as long as I can unless Black Friday sales bring the price of the Peg Turbo down to earth a bit. Adidas are going to sell A LOT of this shoe...and it's going to be a PITA to get ahold of. :/
You sold me once you said some people may find it unstable. Those are hard to find in 2024. Novablast 1, Endorphin Speed 1&2…oh how I miss those “unstable” shoes.
Thanks Kofuzi! I *loved* the midsole of the Pro 3, but I found the upper really crushed my toes on longer runs so I relegated it to just a shorter workout shoe (which it's great at). How would you say the upper of the Evo SL compares to the Pro 3?
Nice video as always Michael. An unrelated note: chromatic aberration is so prominent in this video that it is at a point of being a major distraction. Maybe 200k subs is a good time to up the image quality? lol
I haven’t seen many direct compairsons between the Evo SL and the Takumi Sen. Does the extra stack and lack of rods make a significant difference in the ride?
would you say the Evo SL could be a good replacement for the Adios Pro 3 (4) for us runners not running as fast as top level "non-elite" runners? Like my threshold-speed would be around 4.05 min/km and we know that carbon-shoes gives better effect on runners running faster.
Hi kofuzi. Just wondering, if this shoe is a suitable substitute for Puma DN2? I'm about retiring them, and having difficulty to find a proper replacement.
Hey Kofuzi. How would you compare these Evo SL shoes to: Adizero SL2, and Hoka Mach 6? I know those two models are also amazing daily trainers but keen to hear your thoughts on how these 3 shoes all compare? Cheers!
The review everyone’s been waiting on!
I was not 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for your patience
Love his reviews !
Why? Just make your own opinion instead of relying on this guy who gets shoes for free
@@_Don_P I just want the truth: not everybody was waiting for this. Simple, clear, honest.

The trickle drops are not my favorite. It puts me in a position where I feel like I have to review it, months earlier than I otherwise would
Agreed. This limited release nonsense has turned me off from Adidas. Really we're building hype and limiting releases for training shoes now. Stupid.

Really good video! One of your best shoe reviews. AND you're centered on screen during the studio shots!!! ❤
Excited to see how this compares with the newly released Novablast 5. Based on reviews, both seem to be capable as non-plated race day daily trainers.
same!
Another great review! Thanks!
Just picked these up at the NYC Marathon expo yesterday, along with a pair of the AP4s. Excited to try them!
So anybody could buy them? Was this in the expo? They are not in retailers yet, right?
Yeah that’s correct. I think they only had a limited amount. Maybe they restocked? If not, maybe the Adidas marathon pop up will have them?
Cool that you got both. I was just wondering if it was some exclusive adidas room that I can't get in. Great to hear it was in the main hall and regular folks could buy. Was everything MSRP?
Yeah just go to their booth in the expo. It’s connected to a fleet feet so I imagine if the shoes don’t workout for you, you could return them to FF. Yes, MSRP.
That subtle match cut goodness when discussing ZoomX.
Thanks for noticing
The Adidas singlet looks fantastic! Plus, it's awesome to have a daily trainer with premium foam, giving you that race-day feel every time.
How does it compare to the SL2?
Exactly what I’m wondering

Agreed. Cos I can’t wait to replace my Boston 11
im happy to see light strike pro here as it is incredibly durable while being a super foam unlike zoom x.
I've got several pairs of AFs and VFs with 300-350 miles. Pretty durable to me....
@@jimoconnor8597 like, by durable i mean lightstrike pro maintains its properties for much longer than zoom x, especially since i am a heavy runner. Zoom x looses its bounciness fairly quickly compared to light strike pro or ff turbo.

Top content as always Kofuzi 🔥,
Super stoked as i just received my Evo SL today , cant wait to take it out 2moro morning 😁
I always agree with you, but not for one thing.. Boston 12 is max cushioned shoes :) but probably its just me.
Thanks, great review.
I think Adidas has been struggling to figure out what to do with the Boston for a long time. Do I think the Boston _should_ be in the max cushion category? No
Is that what Adidas made? I argue yes
I agree with you, plus I don't find them comfortable to wear at all, that upper... I would use them more for speed work than long runs.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense
A good description. Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. !!! Happy Halloween!!!.
Great review! How does it compare to the SL 2? Interested in a daily training that and these two are top of the list, much appreciated!
what a steal, especially with the NB1080v14 coming in at $165, hoka skyflow at $160. Adidas has always been good about keeping their prices reasonable
Can't wait to try these. Although, I'll be waiting for the Pro 4 to part with my cash. Was a huge fan of the Pro 2 and 3. Pro 2 might still be my favourite running shoe, ever. 🏃♂️
Great review. Is this as close to the original Peg Turbo or Peg Turbo 2 we’ve got in a daily trainer since they were shelved?
At this price point it's a no brainer, thank you Adidas!
Would you say it is more stable than the SL2? How is the fit width wise
Great looking shoe, really want a pair but white for a Uk winter 😂 not the best idea 💡… hopefully more colour ways will come soon ❤
I got some in the Adidas store in New York City last week, they also had the Adios Pro 4

Boston12 is the opposiet of an comfortable easy day shoe. had so much pain running in them
The outsole does not cover the outer forefoot. For those supinate, the midsole will definitely be exposed. But i know lightstrike is quite durable compared to zoomx.
My rotation for 2025:
Trainer: Evo SL
Plated Trainer: Zoom Fly 6
Racer: MetaSpeed 4 or Adios Pro 4
try adios pro3 as a plated trainer.
I am not even interested in running on these, but Adidas finally made a shoe that looks good since Kanye left!
Too bad we cant even buy them.
Real release is january 1st 2025
Hoping you get a review sample Novablast 5, waiting patiently for your review.
Thanks for the Video! Great. vWhat about the wide of the EVO SL. ? Adidas is usually very narrow. I need shoes with more space!

Hey are these a better daily than the sl2?
Good question......they would probably say the lightstrike pro....
Nice review. Easier decision for us in the UK because NB has extortionate prices, so this Evo SL stands alone in the price segment. I think I'll be picking it up.
That’s interesting. I had no idea
@kofuzi take a look, often it’s the same as the dollar value, but in pounds. So that’s basically a 20-30% premium even taking into account us sales taxes.
@@davidg61 Adidas are charging a premium on the Evo SL for UK and EU customers too, although it's smaller.
@ yeah true though it’s a lot smaller. About 6-7% in this case.
Will wait for Adios 9 and decide then
Thanks for the great review! Do you think this one can replace Boston 12 as a LSD trainer?

How do you like this?
Adidas UK app says the Evo SL will be (presumably more widely) released 12 December, so should be slightly earlier for the US.
There seem to be a lot of little drops globally. Unless something has changed, which it certainly can, the full launch is in 2025.
I see you finally picked up a Brooks Aurora-BL in your Run Club segment. How are you getting along with it? Kind of fast and firm, but I loved the decoupled forefoot and hindfoot on that shoe. Plus, it looks like it's from the future.
Love it !!!! thank you Mike!
Thanks for watching!
Mike, you have mentioned on the last few iterations of the Boston that the shoe wasn't "Boston" enough - will this new formula produce the next Boston that's Boston enough for Boston training?
Most i like is rhythm of your running. Its beautiful and flawless.
The peg plus is a really good shoe. The price tag doesn’t do it any justice.
I'm very excited to try this shoe, simply due to the heel cup/collar design. The traditional Adizero heel lockdown is TERRIBLE for me. But this shoe just seems like everything I'd want for the types of runs I'd intend to use it for. I was thinking about the Peg Turbo (plus....icky name), but thinking I'll hold out as long as I can unless Black Friday sales bring the price of the Peg Turbo down to earth a bit. Adidas are going to sell A LOT of this shoe...and it's going to be a PITA to get ahold of. :/
Novablast 5 next
The people have spoken Kofuzi, Novablast 5 please 😂
I need to have a shoe in order to be able to review
I'm buying this one
You sold me once you said some people may find it unstable. Those are hard to find in 2024. Novablast 1, Endorphin Speed 1&2…oh how I miss those “unstable” shoes.
Didn't know Bizzaro was in the market for running shoes.
I just preordered the Novablast 5 this morning but will I have buyer's remorse? I am more interested in the Adios Pro 4 as my racing shoe next year.
What about Evo SL vs SL2?
Shoe of the year 👀?
Thanks Kofuzi! I *loved* the midsole of the Pro 3, but I found the upper really crushed my toes on longer runs so I relegated it to just a shorter workout shoe (which it's great at). How would you say the upper of the Evo SL compares to the Pro 3?
Nice video as always Michael. An unrelated note: chromatic aberration is so prominent in this video that it is at a point of being a major distraction. Maybe 200k subs is a good time to up the image quality? lol
I like your hoodie - which one is that?
Thank you Mike.
Thanks for watching!
@ 🤩
Lol, just bought a pair of very discounted Adios 8 for my interval sessions, before watching this review!
Hope you enjoy!
I just wish they would drop the shoe on the market like any other normal company instead of teasing people with super limited drops.
I don’t love trickle drops, but it would be a misstatement to say that other brands don’t do the same
Hi, Mike! How do these compare to the SL 2? I'm planning to buy a daily trainer for easy and long runs.
I have Adizero pro 3, Super blast 2. Do you suggest getting this or Nike zoom fly 6 for rotation ?
I think this one gonna be my 1st adidas running shoes.😅
I haven’t seen many direct compairsons between the Evo SL and the Takumi Sen. Does the extra stack and lack of rods make a significant difference in the ride?
How is it compared to the sl2?
would you say the Evo SL could be a good replacement for the Adios Pro 3 (4) for us runners not running as fast as top level "non-elite" runners? Like my threshold-speed would be around 4.05 min/km and we know that carbon-shoes gives better effect on runners running faster.
Is the sl2 a valuable option while we wait for the evo sl to come out?
The Adizero SL2 is related to the Evo SL kind of like how the Pegasus is related to the Pegasus Plus. So I’d say no.
@ thanks!
Zoom fly 6 review and comparison maybe!?
Surprised you didn't compare it to the superblast since both have full race foam.
I’m confused with this shoe, because I originally wanted the Adizero SL2, but should I be looking at this instead for a daily trainer?
Hi kofuzi. Just wondering, if this shoe is a suitable substitute for Puma DN2? I'm about retiring them, and having difficulty to find a proper replacement.
Evo SL or SL 2?
Does it support runners with "HIGH ARCH" foot? is the insoles similar to Adidas Adios Pro 3?
Hey Kofuzi. How would you compare these Evo SL shoes to: Adizero SL2, and Hoka Mach 6? I know those two models are also amazing daily trainers but keen to hear your thoughts on how these 3 shoes all compare? Cheers!
this is closer to a Mach 6 than it is an Adizero SL2
@ awesome thanks for the clarification!!
Genuinely curious about the longevity of racing foams on daily trainers
This shoe is basically the adios pro 3 without the carbon rods. The pro 3 last 300-500 miles depending on the user.
The early stage rocker is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I was hoping this might be better for relaxed paces.
$150 seems like bargain for that shoe! It looks 🔥🔥🔥 too!
Need this to replace my Pegasus 37 as a new daily trainer
My current rotation is
Daily: Pegasus 37
Tempo/Speed/Long run: Boston 11
Race: AP3
What do you think of Evo SL compared to the Zoom Fly 6?
I have not tried the Zoom Fly 6
Zoom Fly 6 is really an uptempo trainer. SL leans far more daily trainer to me.
how would you compare vs the sl2? which would you choose if you only could have 1
Where would you place the SL2 in the lineup?
It’s also a daily trainer
