Adidas Adistar First Run Review: Adidas' mega stacked easy run shoe is made for slow miles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- The Adidas Adistar is one of the biggest stacked shoes we've ever seen here. And we're not going to lie, when we first took it out of the box, we drew a little breath. Almost like we did when we first clapped eyes on a HOKA back in the day. And with that huge wedge of new Repetitor foam and a rocker-like geometry the Adistar is probably the most HOKA shoe Adidas has ever produced.
It sits at the opposite end of the spectrum to those carbon plate racers. This is a shoe designed for running long and running slow, in comfort. So how does it hold up? We put it to an initial 5 mile run test to find out. Hit play to see what we made of it in this Adidas Adistar first run review.

Reminds me of the color way and angle designs on offer for my kids when they were toddlers.
These will be my replacement for the Boston 10 for long, slow and recovery runs. I love the Boston 10 but it needs some refining.
Just picked them up with a discount code for 104, my maxroad 5’s are torn up and 190 miles ( one side of my heel on each side I am running on hyper burst now) , so these look to be a more durable replacement , and at an agreeable price . I don’t like my shoes too squishy , so picked them up to eat up long slow miles
Got mine to 300km. Still going strong. Definitely not for heel strikers. Landing on forefoot makes this so plush. My easy pace is 7:30/km to 8:00/km and it works really well at that pace. Even did some strides in them, and the weight really shows the faster you go.
There was also adiprene and adiprene+. adiprene: firm without rebound and years to decades before Others vibration-limitation (the one which are Not good for muscles and knees, etc.). adiprene+ less Firm and the rebound-foam. Best example the adidas Terrex Fast R with adiprene from midfoot to Heel and adiprene+ from midfoot to forefoot.
The Repetitor-foam for Sure is lighter and incl. Recycling Material.
Looks good, price is 🆗... 👍 The colorway
I am somewhat curious to try these out since adidas shoes generally seem to work very well for me. However, the weight does bother me a bit and I just don't get what purpose are the extreme stack heights supposed to serve...
How does it compare to the shift or the glideride for example?
Do you recommend over a ultraboost 21? For similar goals run slow and much
Where can I buy this shoe with the continental rubber sole ?.
Suppose for a maximum stack shoe it’s very affordable similar to the puma magnify. A lot of max cushion options are pushing 130 plus. Probably will never buy them though 😂
I guess this shoe helps with understanding Adidas line up? These for easy days, Boston 10 for the long run, adiós 6 for speed with sense8 and Aaapro2 for racing. All bases covered and less of a jumble
Sense 8 - isn't that a Salomon shoe? Always thought the Ultra Boost/Solar something/SuperNova ones were for easy days. This seems more like a new concept shoe like the 4DFWD ones.
i think he meant the takumi sen 8
@@TimGrose Tom meant the Takumi Sen 8 (probably got autocorrected).
The Solarboost and Supernova are both budget daily trainers, so this offers a more cushioned version that's still in the budget range. The Ultra Boost is also fine for easy runs, but they're expensive shoes to get just for easy running as they're lifestyle shoes first.
Sorry tim I did mean the takumi sen8, that's me rushing and not spotting Sen had turned into sense. Hoping to hear more about them, this was the first review I've seen and sound positive compared to the other Adidas dailys which have been around a while.
@@tomclowes5874 yeah sorry should have realised you meant the Takumi Sen 8. Anyway had not heard of the Sense 8 so did learn something ! As I would need a 13.5 in these shoes I just think it sounds would be stupidly heavy and have got the Invincible for maximum protection and going fairly slow. Think we need to see more than just a short run.
Would love to see a Takumi Sen 8 review!
We're working on getting it in, looks a great shoe!
@@TheRunTesters thanks guys, love the channel!
At any shoe with extensive Front-Rocker or even stiff midsole (Approach shoes / Trekking or Mountaineering Boots) as the feet have Less Work the footsole Starts burning, which is Not a good sign.
If Others Do Not experience this the reason for burning footsoles is different.
The carbonplated running shoes your feet adjusted to are opposite to these shoes. The feet are brought Back to healthy work, get reactivated and Start burning.
i thought the stack height on this was crazy high in the pic. it looks even higher on foot..
Los puedo tener de uso diario??
I use an Ultraboost PB for those easy runs with friends where you make stops to take selfies and you're not chasing time. I know the shoes are quite heavy but I like the feel underfoot. Is this new midsole better than Boost or would I be better served with a UB 22 when I need a replacement?
We'll be comparing the Adistar and the UB in due course for sure, look like they should work for similar runs so might come down to what you prefer in terms of ride feel and drop.
My wife has been running her long runs in the Ultraboost 21 until last week when she received the Adistar. She states it is hands down a better shoe for long, slow running.
For recovery/very easy days....these or the Nike ZoomX Invincible.....? What do you think?
We'll get a comparison of the two shoes up when we've had a chance to test the Adistar fully. I (Nick) have been loving the Invincible lately, so interested to see how this compares.
Heavier the better with adidas of late it seems! I might get to 500g in a UK 13.5 then :) Just checking and they do actually do that size unlike any of their "performance" shoes like the Adios Pro 2 or Takumi Sen 8. Very rare to see a 6mm drop adidas shoe as well although maybe that is a new trend as the Takumu Sen 8 is 6mm too. Are they trying to become Hoka?
Yeah better skip them Tim it's gonna be another solarglide 4 GTX story for you in these. It's gonna be like weight training for you instead of running
@@fabsterun yeah makes say Vomero 16 seem lightweight but that's 380g or so for me.
@@TimGrose vomero foam is dead tho... Zoomx but like it's dead
@@fabsterun yeah did you see my video on it - can't feel the ZoomX at all.
@@TimGrose Are you saying it doesn't Zoom Tim? 🤣
Is it fair to say that this is Adidas version of the Bondi or Fresh Foam More v3?
It certainly reminded us of a Hoka!
How does this compare with the Peg 38? Interested to know. Cheers Nick
These would likely be more a rival to the Invincible than the Peg 38.
I wonder why get this over the Ultraboost instead ?
Maybe if you need to train in low drop shoe ...
We'll be comparing the two shoes at some point to answer that question! I (Nick) haven't yet run in the Adistar but wasn't a huge fan of the UB21.
When you say slow miles, what time you talking 7:30 to 8 min miles or slower ? Thanks
When we talk about pace in general we mean for the individual runner, so this shoe is best for your slow miles, whatever pace that is for you.
How would you compare them to the Puma Velocity Nitro? I'm looking for a pair to replace mine and these Adidas sound perfect for lazy, long runs ir would you just go for another pair of Velocity Nitro?
Really good question Martin. Might need a few more miles in them to make that call. But we'll keep that in mind in testing and get back to you.
@@TheRunTesters thanks guys, much appreciated
Firmer than Nike's invincible? More stable than that shoe? Thanks for the review chaps.
I think we'll do a video comparing the two shoes when we've had a chance to log more miles in the Adidas. I (Nick) would say the Adistar is more stable and firmer on first impression, but lot of mileage to do :)
@@TheRunTesters thanks Nick. Will look forward to the comparison video. I tried out the Invincibles but found them to unstable for me.
Will one of you be getting adidas adizero takumi sen 8?
Trying! Looks fantastic
What are the stack heights- heel and forefoot.? Is the tongue gusseted?
adidas claim it to be 33/38. not gusseted.
looks ridiculous,a shoe for Prince,the takumi sen 8 is what im looking forward too
hoka torrent? torin? do you mean bondi, Kieran?
No, I meant the Torrent. That was my initial thought for the feel underfoot.
@@TheRunTesters Torrent? I always thought that this one was quite firm and low stack for a Hoka. Didn´t really like my Torrent - way too harsh. If this mega stack Adidas feels like a low slung Hoka, I´m not interested.
A bit like a basketball shoe :-)
Why its look very short in length wise lol
Might be the high stack makes it look that way.
This shoe looks like a caricature of what minimalist wearers think running shoes are lol
It is mad looking. Really expected to dislike it.
I do like the looks of these but! That tongue has to go is freaking massive! I hate massive tongue 😭
It's is huge!
How you can release negar to 2022 a shoe that weighs more than 300 Gramms….a absolut no go…..and the tongue….??? Soccer style….but thanks for Inform me aswell for bad shoes….:)
Hi Mauro, kind of thought the same but they didn't run like a 300g+ shoe on that first run. Yes, there's a lot of shoe here but others in the market feel bulkier I think. Looking at those whopping heeled HOKAs for a start.
Nope !!! I think it's just a casual shoe for teenagers to look cool 😎
And 43-year-old men?
@@TheRunTesters haha 😂 that's called midlife crisis a valid excuse.. but had these in feet for 10 minutes . Put back the tags and back in the box and pasted the return sticker on it . I think I did get a PB in this shoe PB back to the shop
Doesn’t sound like a whole lot to recommend these
We'll let you know more in the full review coming soon.
Hoka One One adidas lolz
😂😂
One Adidas One One
what the fuck have the done here
Lol
These shoes look like for large tall overweight joggers.
Designed for anyone who wants to enjoy going slow. That's the pitch anyway. We'll know more once we've done a good 2 hour run in them.
They are absolutely hideous
They're not lookers, it's true.
Or are they? They are surely growing on me. Sweet colorway too.
More rubbish from adidas
Hi Dave (Kieran here), being 100% honest, I was very sceptical when I first took them out of the box. And put them on. But on those first 5 miles, they definitely run better than they look. Need more time to make a full judgement but I think rubbish would be a bit harsh on my first impressions.
@@TheRunTesters my point is....as with most...all...brands.....they r just throwing out cheap and nasty daily trainers many of which double as casual sneakers.....I get tired of reviewers who try to find a reason why a shoe is 'good'.......are enough reviewers being objective?
@@daveaskew2105 These are not casual sneakers at all. Its complete bullshit from you saying "more" when you got the Takumi Sen 8, Adios Pro2 and Prime X if you can afford those rhythms. Stop hating on the best brand ///.
