Commiserations Nick for the next 12 comparison videos- can't wait 😅 Really great shoe as well- the lighstrike pro is the perfect foam for this setup with the structure and rebound.
have 61 miles in this shoe, long run of 21 miles where I set my 30K PB. This is probably my marathon shoe for the upcoming Houston Marathon. My biggest complaint is the laces and lack of gusset on the tongue.
Adizero SL 2 has been is part of my rotation latter part 2024 and have laid down several long runs 20+ miles. Is your thought the EVO SL would perform as well on long workouts? If so my thinking is EVO SL would be more versatile trainer. Stride workouts coupled with long tempo workouts.
I have 2 pairs of the SL2’s which I love using for easy running. I also got a pair of the EVO SL2 and wow they are amazing to run in. I did go half a size up. I can’t wait until they release more colors in April. I am interested to see how the full length EVO lightstrike Pro midsole holds up mileage wise vs the combination of lightstrike pro and Lightstrike V2 that’s in the current SL2’s. Thanks
You should have chosen the black version with with stripes. It is not so sensitiv to black marks… I have run 50 k in this shoe and I really like it for interval sessions
Adidas will sell a ton of these if only they would release them. I have a white/black pair and I’d love to own multiple pairs in different colors. There is a lot of value in these at retail price. I’d love to know how many pairs are just sitting in Adidas distribution warehouses ready to go.
Nick’s approved shoes is good news to heel strikers. It is time to change my trusted puma velocity nitro 2(highly rated by Nick). Nick, if you can only choose one out of these three(evo sl, zoomfly 6, novablast 5), which one is your choice and why?
I got to 50 miles in the Boston’s but had massive heel slippage issues. They blister my heel pretty good. They did not agree with me. The Evo SLs feel WAY more comfortable and do not feel as firm. I do think though it’s has a better roll through the forefoot. Maybe I was not landing correctly on the Bostons and I am on the Evo SLs.
Not considered an easy run shoe in my running crew, more of a marathon pace and up shoe. The midfoot shank sends people into quite an aggressive position
Generally super surprised that you liked it so much and other reviews have also found it enjoyable. I get all the characteristics, and would agree from looking at it but, I am wondering how much of this is just excitement over a cheap version of their nicer shoes. To me it looks like a casual shoe, made from materials that resemble their higher end offerings. Style wise they look fantastic, but with the current crop of shoes on the market I can’t imagine that they threw a new upper on a midsole tech that is as old as it, and it’s now this amazing bargain, ultra cool, running shoe. Guess I will find out for myself, when they are available in the US, but I am not planning on doing anything in them other than looking cool.

Would love to see an Evo SL vs Zoom Fly 6 comparison
Full-length Lightstrike Pro in reasonably-priced daily trainers😍
Love my pair! Thanks for the review and I commend you for not talking about the marketing or availability of the shoe.
have 61 miles in this shoe, long run of 21 miles where I set my 30K PB. This is probably my marathon shoe for the upcoming Houston Marathon. My biggest complaint is the laces and lack of gusset on the tongue.
It really is a fantastic shoe. Feels great cruising along and seems very efficient for me as a mid/forefoot striker.
Have to do the mandatory Novablast 5 comparison 😄
Looks like a good daily trainer but hope they more attractive colors.
Thqnks sounds amazing. How would i decide choosing between this and the sl2 please!!?
ROTATION Sl2, evo sl and pro 3 as a supertrainer. I think they nailed it this year
Pro 3 is a racer not a super trainer?
@@andydevinewine but pro 4 is out so pro 3 can be bought cheaper and used as long run / super trainer shoe :)
Pro 4
Thank you Nick 👌
Just wish I could actually buy a pair!
Buy the SL2. Honestly its not that much different and fantastic bang for your buck
Great review 🎉
Best non-plated shoe I've ever run in 🤗

I can't wait to get this shoe. Is the tongue better than the Boston 12? That's the only thing I'm apprehensive about the sl evo.
Real game changer for me😬

How would this stack up against a Boston 12 for long runs / race day? (First Marathon)
vs Peg’ plus:comfort and performance.
and how it compare stability wise to the SL2.

I take it this is more geared towards advanced runners whereas the Supernova Prima/Rise are geared towards casual runners?

Someone said it feels like the NB rebel ??
Are these firm like the Boston 12s?
No, I returned the Boston 12's cause I didn't like how firm they are, but these are super soft in comparison
@ I returned my pair of Boston 12s as well. I was told that it takes a while to break in but I’m not trying to wait lol

this blows the rebel out of the water. the closest shoe for me right now is the mizuno neo zen.
This or the superblast 2????
Limited release shoes as hard to buy just like Superblast 2😅

Evo SL or Rebel 4? Rebel got more bounce?
Rebel doesn't have more bounce. 100% lightstrike pro can't be beaten for bounce
@@Lukas-md8fp mmmm, got the Rebel V3, 400km in, definitive way more bounce than a takumi sen or adios pro 3 ;)
I have both rebel v4 and Evo sl can sure Evo sl is way more bouncy and smooth ride
@@samson0921I have both as well and I agree with you.
Lightstrike pro is responsive. Rebel v4 is way too soft for anything fast. Worst shoe I have purchased in a long time. Takumi Sen 10 is fantastic
Why do they all have to have 4 names in the titles.
The tongue and laces are absolute poo, but good shoe besides that. Bit worried about the exposed foam and the outsole in general
this is impossible to buy, terrible
you messed up the looks of shoes and that´s ok ....kudos for not showing outsoles with poo on it!!! Great vid
