Looking forward to trying these ! I just discovered your channel, enjoying very much!
These shoes are very special!
Thank you frontage support! 🤙🏻
Interesting review and definitely good changes from previous version. I got the 6 which I love it (almost 450km) and recently got the 7 on sale. Looking forward to get a pair of these later on.
These really are a big upgrade from the 6. You'll be impressed when you do get a pair.
Great review, detailed, practical
I hope it was useful. This is a wonderful shoe! Definitely deserves more attention than it gets. 🤙🏻
Nearly 1000 subscribed! Great films! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the support! 🙏🏻🤙🏻
as an aspiring industrial designer your in depth videos are a blessing
I bought a takumi sen 9 because the deal was irresistible, but this honestly sounds better for me because my previous shoe was the allbirds x adidas and it's almost exactly as you describe this shoe, all I wanted was more snappiness. AHHH but that shoe was 5 ounces.
I think they both have there place. I have some testing to do. However, if I had to pick one it would likely be the Adios 8.
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
Thx so much for this…. I have a new pair sitting in the box ready to return - but, I was still weighing the pros and cons against my hyperion tempos and topo cyclone 2s - my go-to daily trainers w/ significant miles on them. Gotta say, the adios 8 has what feels like perfect cushioning for me - my tempos actually feel hard in comparison - may actually hang on to these.
Love this channel - my apologies, I just discovered it via Tim gross’! Best analysis I’ve seen.
The A8 is a special shoe. Especially if you like less or firmer cushioning. A thin slab of Lightstrike Pro is a unique thing. Thank you for the kind words!
I have this with 50 miles and I love it. I can use it for intervals or tempo and even for easy runs. I think is pretty in line with the old Boston Boost series more than the Adios Boost series. Great review!
I agree, the Adios 8 is as close to the old Boston 9 as is made by Adidas, or anyone else. It's not exactly the same but, sadly, as close as we will get post 2017...
Wow! Your impressikns of the adios 8 is very interesting, especially your lastbstatement regatding the so-named currebt Takumi Sen ( ive groused about the name before😊). My last Adios were the version 5. I look forward to your comparison to the Streakfly (loving it along with the NB SC Pacer).
Hate A5 was great. I remember it fondly. Comparisons coming this week.
Great review. Almost 1000 subscribers!
Thank you. 🙏🏻
I still have much more content and the ideas are growing daily. So much more to come!
Great review videos, thanks. Looking forward for the Boston 12 review 😄
I may get to it… I’m on the fence about it to be honest.
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
That all white Pro 3 is a beauty. I would wear it just because of the looks.
Ya, the “non dyed” color ways are great!
running almost 350km on adios 7... it's harsh at the first 50km, but once it breaks in, its softer(but still firm) and more responsive...use them from the tempo, interval, long run and for track competitions at my university...im very excited to feel how adios 8 ride😊hi from malaysia btw
Ya, I have run alot in Adios in the past and that break period is real. My A8s are almost to 50k… I’ll keep a note of this for the 50mile update video.
I love my adios 7 also but the upper where the crease part is already torn and open😢
@vinjun7830 The Adios 8 is a much better shoe overall and a considerably better upper.
I have a pair of Adios 7 and I am getting chafing on my left heel tendon.. Does anyone have experienced the same? Does it go away after some mileage? Thanks!
I have to say, I like your style of shoe analysis..much more detail and analytical compare to all other show reviewer..right up in my alley..keep it up sir…
I have tried Adios 7 on 2 runs..and the firm midsole works really wonder…reminds me a lot of my Adizeo Adios 2, the old one..before the Zoom era..that brick-like midsole really fly when you pick up the pace..sadly the Upper material and it’s narrow last made me give up the Adios 7..my right pinky toe just get squashed all the time…seeing this review, I might try the Adios 8…
I remember those shoes. Something to be said about the old flats for sure.
The Adios 8 has the modern Adidas last with the wider forefoot. Total opposite of the submarine lasts adidas used to use. So far the Adios Pro 3, Adios 8 and Boston 12 have this last and it’s great. The Adios 8 is the only one with a good upper though. The Adios Pro 3 is a nightmare and the Boston 12 is just ok.
Thank you for the kind words on the content. I’m trying to put a different voice out there in this space. One I thought was missing. I’m glad it resonates. 🙌🏻
Was very satisfied with my ZoomX Streakfly, going for the Adios 8 next, I hope they're as good or even better. Love me some lightweight speed shoes.
It’s a very different ride, I have a comparison video on the channel, and much more durable… but both are excellent!
Great video. Thank you. I would bow to no one in my love of the Takumi Sen 8/9 but…. Having taken the Adios 8 out for a run I am wavering. I find the Adios is a ‘purer’ running experience - it gives me more feedback on good or sloppy biomechanics. As such, I think it is a more disciplined training shoe for workouts and faster intervals. I would, though, still race my 5k or 10k in the Takumi.
You hit the nail on the head here. This is why I love shoes like the Adios 8 or the Streakfly. They offer (as you say) a "purer" running experience (or as I have said) a more direct experience. So it puts the emphasis on you, your mechanics and overall training stimulus, which nets you better training and workouts as you don't have a shoe helping you through that hard work. So when you put on a race shoe, like the Takumi Sen 8/9...you can literally fly.
I am excited. I have the 6. Skipped the 7 because the 6 has been so durable. (Well over 300 miles and still going strong). I would say if you could only have one in your rotation, between the sen or adios, i would recommend the adios. More versatile. That being said, theres no way i pick the adios over the takumi in a track session, threshold road or 10k race. The takumi is just too good and lighter. Also im a heel striker but im sure the adios 8 will work. I like lower stack. Ran in the terrex speed pro last week. Very good analysis!
I much prefer a flexible non-plated shoe for track work, so it’s really between the A8 and Streakfly for me right now. On the road though… it depends on what I’m trying to do.
The TS9 is a race shoe, 100%. So I’ll pick the A8 for versatility, especially given that I’d race in the AP3 if I was to race in an Adidas shoe.
Thanks for the kind words. 🙏🏻
I just bought it, I'm gonna use it in my 5k run.
Great option for that. Enjoy them! 🤙🏻
I have wide feet and Adios Pro 3 fits me great.
Then these will too as the fit is very similar.
Very good video. Regarding the size of the Adizero Adios 8, if I wear a 43 1/3 in the Adizero Avanti TYO model (spike shoe), would you recommend the same size in these new Adizero Adios 8 or half a size more? Thanks for your attention.
Honestly… I don’t know. I don’t know Adidas track spike sizing at all. Maybe someone else does though and reply.
Sorry. I don’t even want to guess here as I know Adidas sizing is all over the place.
Hey,thank you very much for the informative video. I was just wondering how would you compare the adios 8 to magic speed 3?
Very different. The MS3 is very much a modern carbon plated shoe. Lots of toe spring and snap fork the plate. Really fun shoe to run in.
The A8 is much more of a traditional ride. Closer to a Streakfly than anything, just not as soft.
I actually think they work well together as partners. The A8 does intervals and shorter tempo well and the MS3 is a great longer tempo shoe.
I would guess the Takumi Sen is the dedicated 5/10k racer where this would be more of your interval/threshold trainer. I know a lot of runners use the Takumi as the speed day trainer but I think the outsole is thinner and would wear out faster (but not necessarily prematurely) than the Adios 8. Just my thoughts. Also, I won’t buy this right now considering that I have the 7 and the Takumi Sen 8 but I look forward to it when it gets heavily discounted to $65-75.
I think you are right. The TS9 is the dedicated racer, but isn’t as durable as the A8. The A8 is a better interval trainer as well.
The shoe sounds very promising, however I’m not sure if it’s worth it considering my uses for it will overlap with my Streakfly. I might appreciate its increased width and firmness though.
I will have a vs video comparing this to the SF this week. Stay tuned.
What is the place of the Boston 12 if you think this will the training partner to the Pro 3?
The Boston 12 is a cushioned trainer, bordering between a daily and tempo trainer. You can do both in the B12.
So inconsiderate the A8 the trianing partner to the AP3 for interval, shorter tempo and some daily trianing. If you prefer a more minimal shoe then this shoe could do it all for you.
Otherwise it’s likely best pared with a B12 for a more cushioned option.
Fan video request: I need a comparsion video of A8 vs B12 vs TUKSEN9
I’ll have a few “vs” videos coming out this week. They will cover this indirectly for you.
@@SagasuRunning Looking forward.. Thank you!
Best shoes for 5 km running in 25 min on synthetic ground please guide
Not really my knowledge area, I'm a road runner. Synthetic ground = track? Or something else? As long as you don't need spikes/grip the Adios 8 is a god starting point.
How do you find the width of this shoe compared to the width in the Endo Speed 3? Is there less of a taper? Thanks!
Never ran in the ES3, of had it on my foot. The Adios 8 is a fairly wide forefoot, but specially for Adidas. It uses the same last as the AP3 and B12… so maybe look for comparisons with the ES3 with either of those shoes.
I can say, compared the the forefoot taper in the ES4… the A8 is much more foot shaped and natural fitting.
@@SagasuRunning awesome thanks for reply! Very helpful 👌
Excited to get this shoe. All out replaces the Takumi Sen is interesting to hear. Have the 7 and like it. Biggest complaint is that 7 is a little slappy.
It replaces it “mostly”. It really depends on what you are trying to do. For me it replaces it nearly completely. I’ll go more into this in my next video. Stay tuned.
@@SagasuRunning i imagine not having that cutout makes it more stable and pleasant to run
@@kylestephens9593 it’s a wider platform that has a much less harsh ride. That’s one of the differences.
Any heel slippage?
None for me, but I rarely get any. The heel counter is very minimal and there isn’t a ton of padding in the heel collar. I could see some people getting a little. However the lacing is very good and long, so a runners knot would fix it if it did happen.
