I have loved your channel for its long format around late nights and contact naps with a newborn (just turned 2 months ! ) . Happy to get some recovery crocs to support your channel !
Bro the SL2's are crazy good, got them for €85. Just did my first 10k in them. Compared to these, my loved Novablast 3's feel kinda clunky and dull. The difference is crazy actually. Thanks for your reviews, they really are spot on.
I’m a 200lb dad jogger and the rebel v4 was too soft foam went dead after 30mins. The Boston 12 has been my daily trainer and soul mate for any kind of run. I’m a little nervous to pull the trigger on the SL2. We need more testing!!!! Great looking shoe
Same here , I am a 6’ 41 year old dad jogger about same weight , I was faster and lighter in 20s and early 30s but always been a large and muscular runner and I have loved the Boston 12 for not bottoming out and have great toe box for my foot shape. Just Looking for 10.5 on sale but that common size is all sold out ….
185lbs here and soft shoes are too squishy and sinky for me. I need firm yet cushioned and that's why the B12s are my favorite shoes once you figure out the upper and laces
Same experience here. Rebel V4 bottomed out immediately under my 200lbs. Boston 12 feels great. Just the right amount of bounce, cushion and support without feeling harsh. I also have the Prime X 2 Strung, crazy comfortable shoe for long miles as well just catch it on sale. I can really cruise in that shoe for longer efforts and my legs stay fresh.
aren't they on different categories? the rise is more for daily easy miles, while the SL2 (I assume) would be more versatile and initially the SL series is for more uptempo efforts..
You are the hobby jogger. Please keep following your instincts. Not all of us can buy a hallway full of shoes to test before we round out our 3-5 shoe rotation. B12 is my favorite all around shoe. Followed by Noosa Tri 14.
I own the B12 and like it, but I don't understand how people call it an all rounder. The upper is uncomfortable and it doesn't want to go slow. It's for tempo runs only as far as I'm concerned.
@@remcodejong9149 B12 is not a daily training shoe for me. For this I choose NB3 or Triump 21, personally. B12 is my 1k rep or up to marathon racer shoe. B12 attacks!
A 300 mile / 480 km Boston 12 ain't an old wasted shoe at all.... seems he is hyped by SL2. I agree with you Brandon. B12 is an all rounder, just ain't an marshmallow soft shoe like many runners like today. And has a great 6mm drop, against 9mm from SL2. So, quite clear and obvious, SL2 is the adizero friendly entry level close to the market staple 10mm drop (hello heelstrikers!), while B12 is better suit to midfoot strikers. I have a Noosa 15, and I feel that is a faster tempo/racer shoe, while B12 can cover easy runs to racing days easily. Anyway I'm very curious to sample SL2, since it has Lighstrike 2.0 and Pro, let's see how it goes. I tried Supernova Rise and I got really disappointed; too cushy too me. Even as a daily trainer. Anyway, I'm happy Adidas has a bazillion new models to beginners (Supernova options and SL2). Seems to me those are the fruits of a couple of years trying to find their footing and missing at the high stack midfoam era (yes I'm talking about Boston 10 and 11 era).
Appreciate the comparison man! Any update on the SL2 wide version? Impatiently debating whether or not to go up half a size as a wide footer or just wait for the wide version... the B12 fits perfectly in size 9 but the SL2 is uncomfortably snug in same size
I appreciate the distinctions. My experience with the Superblast has made me more aware of looking for shoes that are right right for me; a 135lb. guy with a light touch doing mostly slow miles. Something that feels like a slightly more built up Rebel V3 sounds pretty good.
A little semi off topic question.. I’m a 10.5 US , and pretty interested in the Crocs Recovery.. How's the sizing and which one did you get yourself? Have a nice day, and thanks for the comparison video 👍🏻😊
How does the SL2 compare to the Velocity Nitro 3's? I think it might be a good comparison to make :D Thanks for your videos man. You've made my Sunday morning. I'll be sure to checkout Crocs to see if they've got cool stuff to buy
I recently bought the rebel V4 and in the beginning it was kind of weird but after 10 miles it suddenly broke down, and became my favorite daily trainer. I Really recommended it. Light, cushioned and fast.
Ok. Question about the shoe lacing. How do you do the very end where you take the long loops and make small multiple loops. Tried watching in slow motion and still not getting it.
Damnit! I bought the B12s based on your prev review and they are firm still breaking in though but I think I wish I had waited for SL2. Buyers remorse is hard.😂
Thank you for this comparison. I currently alternate between my Boston 12 and Adios 8s for daily, long runs and interval work. Thinking the new SL might replace both of them to go with my Takumi and Adios P3 rotation.
Hey Yowana, I’m a fan and was wondering your opinion on something. I currently have a pretty large rotation: Novablast 3 1080v13 On Cloud Eclipse Invincible 3 Boston 12 Vaporfly 3 Deviate Nitro 2 Dragonfly, victory and cloudspikes for track What should I pick up? I understand that you are a busy guy with family life and making videos etc but if you get a chance lmk. My goal is to run sub 16 in the 5k and I’ll be peaking around 70 per week with some double thresholds.
The OG was a brick for me..the only thing I could use it for HIT sprints on dirt..the rebel V3 and V2 are still my favorite shorter distance runs..it sounds like the SL2 is what the V1 should have been..the upper was decent on V1 so I will give the SL2 a try..the only Adidas shoe that ever worked for me was the pro1..all the uppers since then were horrible..just an observation is that I rarely see an Adidas shoe at races..maybe cos shoe stores in my area don't sell Adidas shoes..good video and good luck with the mosquitoes..😂
SO many Adidas shoes coming out, I dont get the lineup to be honest so if you do please explain to us. Just picked up the Supernova Prima on Adidas 30 day trial, 1st run felt great, sore legs post run after 10k easy but i did do a half marathon race and PB 2 days previous so hard to tell if the shoe was to blame. It felt like a more off the toe Nimbus 25 which i like for easy recovery days. Looking forward to thoughts on the Prima soon.
I need the long run test for the SL2s. SL ones could not do 2 hours comfortably, but superb for an hour. I need a long run workhorse...ie the Boston, but would like to know If the SL2 can manage the marathon distance....bcos I will buy one shoe only...need it for short and long distance...slow and fast. 1 shoe!. Let me know, thanks. Great vid!
Don't know why a lot of folks like so much the softer feeling with running shoes. For me it gives away the feeling when you convert the power of impact into forward power, because of the lack of ground feel. Also your time on the ground is longer, so your efficiency is worse. And that is in my opinion not something favorable, also not at lower speeds or intensity. Better shortened your stride lenght, but stay at the same cadence and time on the ground for the easy runs. I get that for runners with a high mileage 80+miles /130+km per week it has some strong points in terms of lower the injury risk, because they don't want to jeopardize their ambitious goals for a race event or/and a PB in that. But for beginners and the average 20-30 miles runners i would say it is preferable to start with a firmer shoe to get faster and more direct feedback when your muscles and, in my view much more important, your tendons starts to itch.
I keep seeing you wear the feetures socks. Have you tried any other brands? I actually have a pair but haven't used them for running because they feel very thick. Have you reviewed any other socks?
I've tried os1st and Bombas - they're all solid but I like the feel of Feetures the best. They have a few different thicknesses as well. Lmk if you have suggestions for other brands I should try too
I'm gonna have to try my pair of feetures on a run soon. I like the Swiftwick brand, as their socks are thin but durable. And I just purchased a pair of CEP socks, they are a brand of compression socks for runners. Going to see how those feel and if they make a difference for races or longer efforts.
Last minute remarks could be the most critical and valuable! SL2 is temping a lot but... Will it last a test of time? Well, i have too many shoes as a result of nice initial run reviews 😂 By the way - I still enjoy the first SL20 and the Boston... 8 😅 ...and still mix the Adios 4! with Takumi Sen 9 Anyway, new purchases on hold as I start to think: Does that softness of SL2 represent what will the future Bostons & Adios be? 🤔 I can wait 😅
Love the video brother, so I have the sl and the Boston 12 and I felt like the sl needed to go up a half size in sl and in my in fact I could have down a half on the b12 but do u feel like the sl and the sl 2 fit the same ? I wear 11 in b12 and 11.5 in sl
SL2 seems like a budget shoe. No stiffening rods, much padding in the color instead of the well fitting shoe, etc. I feel like a lot of shoes like the rebel V3 have a cheap sense about them when they lock the stiffness that even the cheap new balance zante pursuit had. I mean if you took the new balance zante Pursuit and put some new foam in it it would be a super daily trainer capable of speedwork for half the price of today's plated shoes
much appreciate the content! i wonder why it takes so long for this model to come to the middle east (israel). is there like a global release date or something? i see it being sold on the USA store..... I'm also very new to Adidas as far as buying straight from their site... so maybe someone knows.
Thank you! And Adidas is weird with their releases 😂 they will drop things randomly and at different times in different countries. I'm guessing it'll be available globally soon but they've had some shoes that came out globally three months before they were available in the US 🤷🏽♂️
like a shoe for training for the mileage you will need to race/run the 26.2 miles. It could also mean a shoe you can train the long weekly mileage and race the marathon in, like the same shoe. Contrary to a shoe that someone would use to walk to work, or use for trail running, or run with there highschool track team with.
I haven't tried the Prime X Strung yet but from what I've heard it's very different from the Boston 12. It's supposed to be a lot softer and bouncier but also unstable - so depends on whether you like that feeling. I'm planning to test it at some point soon whenever I can justify dropping another $300 on one pair of shoes 😂
I did my half marathon training in the Boston 12 (and raced in them). It’s a great shoe for me at all paces as a mid/forefoot striker. Probably my favorite shoe of the past two years.
17:13 wow nice iteration ; it used to be called lightstrike but afterwards in the boston 12 was lightstrike 2.0, so tthey didnt want to do numbers in the soles
Thinking to reverse training between both shoes. SL2 for daily running, regenerative and Boston for tempo and couple races. Can anyone give me some opinion?
Didn’t run in SL2, but compared to the SL, the Supernova is a more comfortable, heavier, easy run shoe, while the Adizero line is faster, more aggressive and designed for performance, I guess.
Supernova rise is for comfort and this is more for speed. Both are soft and easy to run in but the supernova rise is a lot more stable and feels more relaxed. The SL2 feels super bouncy and a bit uncontrolled (in a good way)
The middle width is really narrow. Care must be taken in choosing sizes. adios PRO 3 & Takumi sen 10 wore a size 8, but I had to buy 8 1/2 of these shoes.
Hello. It appears that you are more a heal striker by the vids. I think the Boston’s were meant for mid to forefoot which might be why you felt the sl2 gave you better return. Can you try forefoot running in both and perhaps compare either to the adios8 if you have time
@@supwellMy first thought would be Durability, as you have mentioned it seems that shoes that need a bit of Break in (Like Boston 12) seem to last longer than shoes that have that immediate Plush/comfortable step in feel like the SL2 seems to have. I have my Velocity Nitro 3s just over 100k and although a bit of outer heel scuff wear in same spot you get, they took about 50k to break in and are quite a good firm/bouncy feel that is super fun to run in. Also I am A neutral runner but you made the SL2 sound really unstable, maybe compare the stability feel with VN3? I thin VN3 and SL 2 are pretty similar in use case for a fun fast daily trainer and both likely to go on sale a lot as Adidas and Puma like to throw out sales quite a lot so it seems like they are similar in use case but different in execution, looking forward to seeing your take on it.
I'm definitely concerned with it being that soft. Wish I had seen your reviews before I ordered it. At 195lbs, we will find out if it's too soft or not.
I think this is a good question. I used to have Invincible 3, really loving its soft ZoomX and bounciness before I returned it because of the split midsole. I just bought SL2 but since it's a really new shoes, I have to break in first but this one got a lot more bouncy compared to Invincible 3 as of now
28:40 I love that you say the Boston 12 isn’t a fun shoe but you often coin it as one of your all-time favorite marathon training shoes… put some respect on the difference between work and play!!!!
I would have liked to run with boston12s, or other adidas, I was a big fan of my late adios boost 3. But adidas changed the fit, put internal padding at the ankles on the boston, so no heel lock, no support, feeling of instability. The original SLs also have a very weird cut, nothing to see anymore. I am disappointed with this brand.
@brettfettbeargaming I mentioned the Rebel v3 in my comment yesterday after my initial 8 miler in the SL2. Very similar feel but the SL2 is better in every way for a daily trainer compered to the Rebel v3.

what does a marathon training shoe mean specifically can you go into more detail please sorry if it’s a dumb question
like a shoe for training for the mileage you will need to race/run the 26.2 miles. It could also mean a shoe you can train the long weekly mileage and race the marathon in, like the same shoe. Contrary to a shoe that someone would use to walk to work, or use for trail running, or run with there highschool track team with.

I just ordered the Boston 12s because they were on sale for $128 on Adidas' website.
Duramo speed its better then adizero sl 2 ?
How do these compare to the Supernova rise? Purpose wise and feel
Didn’t run in SL2, but compared to the SL, the Supernova is a more comfortable, heavier, easy run shoe, while the Adizero line is faster, more aggressive and designed for performance, I guess.
Supernova rise is for comfort and this is more for speed. Both are soft and easy to run in but the supernova rise is a lot more stable and feels more relaxed. The SL2 feels super bouncy and a bit uncontrolled (in a good way)
Adizero SL2 or Gel Nimbus 26?
How would the SL compare to the Rebel V4
I'm considering the SL2. Anyone help me choose between Adios 8 vs SL2? Which is better? New Runner here
Please, SL2 vs. Supernova Rise comparison 🤔
when yowana compares a running shoe to indian tadka 🤩🤩
Man I don't know if I wish that I got this instead of the Vomeroes, but anyways still love my Vomeroes for 60 bucks!
Vomeroes is good too. Yowana endorses the vomeroes, he loves it.
Is the sizing for sl 2 the same as sl 1 or does sl 2 fit different
The middle width is really narrow. Care must be taken in choosing sizes. adios PRO 3 & Takumi sen 10 wore a size 8, but I had to buy 8 1/2 of these shoes.
It's normal Lightstrike on the SL? Not 2.0? New formulation I guess not EVA anymore or with supercritical now.
Hello. It appears that you are more a heal striker by the vids. I think the Boston’s were meant for mid to forefoot which might be why you felt the sl2 gave you better return. Can you try forefoot running in both and perhaps compare either to the adios8 if you have time
Softest shoe lost me there so thanks! At 210lbs I've discovered soft doesn't work best for me. Maybe why i love Boston 12 and Hoka skyward x etc
Comparison of Velocity Nitro 3 and SL 2 is what I am hoping for!
Stay tuned! Any particular questions you want me to answer on that?
@@supwellMy first thought would be Durability, as you have mentioned it seems that shoes that need a bit of Break in (Like Boston 12) seem to last longer than shoes that have that immediate Plush/comfortable step in feel like the SL2 seems to have. I have my Velocity Nitro 3s just over 100k and although a bit of outer heel scuff wear in same spot you get, they took about 50k to break in and are quite a good firm/bouncy feel that is super fun to run in. Also I am A neutral runner but you made the SL2 sound really unstable, maybe compare the stability feel with VN3? I thin VN3 and SL 2 are pretty similar in use case for a fun fast daily trainer and both likely to go on sale a lot as Adidas and Puma like to throw out sales quite a lot so it seems like they are similar in use case but different in execution, looking forward to seeing your take on it.
I'm definitely concerned with it being that soft. Wish I had seen your reviews before I ordered it. At 195lbs, we will find out if it's too soft or not.
Let me know how it goes! If you like firmer shoes the puma velocity nitro 3 is great fast and fun one around the same price. Also super durable
@supwell I bought a size 11 and it's smaller than my 10.5 boston 12. So this one is going back.
Man I bought Boston yesterday after watching your videos, now you are saying that SL is better. 😒
Dont worry about it. The Boston 12 is an awesome shoe. Enjoy it. It will be better for faster running and your long runs.
It’s not better just different
Softer and bouncier than Nike Invincible?? 32:58
I think this is a good question. I used to have Invincible 3, really loving its soft ZoomX and bounciness before I returned it because of the split midsole. I just bought SL2 but since it's a really new shoes, I have to break in first but this one got a lot more bouncy compared to Invincible 3 as of now
28:40 I love that you say the Boston 12 isn’t a fun shoe but you often coin it as one of your all-time favorite marathon training shoes… put some respect on the difference between work and play!!!!
Yeeee so true 🙌🏽
Hoka
Skyward X you say? 225€ :(
I would have liked to run with boston12s, or other adidas, I was a big fan of my late adios boost 3. But adidas changed the fit, put internal padding at the ankles on the boston, so no heel lock, no support, feeling of instability. The original SLs also have a very weird cut, nothing to see anymore. I am disappointed with this brand.
You may want to give them another shot with the SL2. They fixed a lot of those issues! other than the stability - SL2 is fun but unstable 😂
👍
Maybe more comparable to the Rebel v3 than v4?
@brettfettbeargaming I mentioned the Rebel v3 in my comment yesterday after my initial 8 miler in the SL2. Very similar feel but the SL2 is better in every way for a daily trainer compered to the Rebel v3.
Mosquitoes putting in that work !!
Great comparison though.
Absolutely would appreciate seeing the Prime X Strung vs SL2
first! W comparison
The heel in Boston is very poorly protected
and the winner is...the crocs :v
