Before the superfoams which are as super as super light BOOST was never been rated as heavy. Regarding durability of cushioning and support vs. weight BOOST is still unbeaten.

Hey Connor, will RW be carrying the Solar Boost 3? If so, do you know if Adidas will be releasing a stability version (ST) like the 19? Loved the SB 19 ST I got from RW! Thanks
We will not be carrying the Solar Boost line in 2021. Unfortunately, I'm unsure of the current status of the line and if an ST will be available. -Connor
It’s kind of visually deceiving that you have a big chuck of boost at the heels, but your feet actually land on the indented lines around the midsole, not on top of the platform.
personally i would go for the 19 if you can find it instead of the 20 or 21 if you're into the ultraboost. the 20 is slightly less cushioned and the toe box depth is too shallow imo. it presses down on the toenails uncomfortably
@@freddybell8328 dude don't call me a liar: While I couldn’t see or feel the difference (my Ultraboost 19s have 100+ miles on them and may be riding lower than when they were new), the Ultraboost 20 measures 7mm closer to the ground in both the forefoot and heel. It features the same 10mm drop as the Ultraboost 19 but has less Boost. this is from: weartesters.com/adidas-ultraboost-20-vs-ultraboost-19/
14o ounces in size 11. It’s like wearing weights on your feet. Not sure what the thought process is here. Boost doesn’t get better with more of it. It’s not like PEBEX. It’s like wearing a boat anchor on your feet
Can someone tell me why the heel looks like it has already been worn by a bull legged person ( no offence ) ?? You know that look of an old shoe if you tend to lean to one side. I just got mine
Other than the Adidas AA Pro, Adidas doesn’t seem to give a damn about runners. Talk about not giving the people what they want. Heads in the sand for years now on innovation. Sad to see from a company that obviously has the $$$ to push forward with these other companies.
We hand measured our size 9 samples pairs at 12.4 oz. As the video states, weights are preliminary but i would be surprised if they weigh in under 12 once we get final measurements. -Connor
Yeah look at the thick platform at the heel! It’s perfect for recovery run. It’s made to gear towards performance this time around, but of course you can use it as a lifestyle shoe if you don’t mind the weight.
I disagree. I've using Ultraboost 19's for more than a year now and they're perfect for everyday running specially recovery, slower tempo runs and 10ks because of the low impact softer material. The continental rubber lasts forever really. The amount of miles I have in my shoes is insane running in all weathers, mud, Georgia hot, Germany cold, etc. I definitely don't recommend them for speedy track days or more than 10k but they do have a place in the running world, specially when they get heavily discounted for like $80 a pair
i like this choice of launch color
I believe there's a triple black colorway...might suit your taste
You really love black colored shoes Sir
that is too heavy even for a causal one
Over 12oz???? Daily trainer???
Can't wait for the ultraboost 25 where the shoes will be 80% boost
The upper will be made of boost
lol
don't worry guys, they'll add even more boost in the ultraboost 22!

Are 100 percent of people testing adidas shoes heel strikers? What's up with this?
same exact thought! I ran my first marathon in Hoka's and they atleast had full cushion support
Hahaha
Just ordered mine, so excited.

12.4 ounces for a daily trainer?! Welcome back to 2012 I guess...
Although I think this shoe has mainly become a casual shoe so I'm not too surprised.
It's 11.9 the guy got his numbers wrong. It's literally only 1 ounce heavier then the 20s

Looking forward to trying these, anyone else ultraboost 20 and 19 seem less boost than previous years???

crystal rubber last forever. My saucony uses crystal rubber, 4 yrs on, its still intact
Anything over 11 is too heavy, let alone 12. Not sure why adidas and Nike are both making their shoes heavier
most likely to reduce injury for runners and to also prolong the life of the cushioning of the midsole
Sounds about right and I’m all for it
Still excited for the nike zoom X invincible than this. UB21 weighs a ton on the foot. 12 oz? Between this and new balance 1080 v10 and hoka clifton 7, id choose the later 2
What color way is this? The launch core black has yellow writing and torsion and the cage is a Smokey see through. The ones you have I like much more.
I see Adidas are trippling down on the heel cushioning. It's gonna be a great shoe for casual wear but wont be running in this
Why? More energy return and less fatigue in the heel.
12oz for what size?
Adidas should just concentrate on lightstrike pro if they hope to compete with other shoe midsole tech
