 And it is time for my first impression of the Adidas Adi zero adios for all right now This is not my full review just put that out there you if you are a new subscriber just so you know I do the full review after 50 miles, so I did 20 miles today So in about 30 more miles I will give you my full review after putting this shoe through some more workouts and paces. Okay, Omori I'm not saying it correctly, but I'm just gonna say Omori from Japan He is a shoe designer He is the the brainchild behind the design of this shoe and it's definitely designed for the marathon Distance and as you know I've said it many times this shoe the the adios lineup just go look through some old world records over the past Really the past decade Many marathon world records have been set in this shoe So it's like the elite the elite marathon racers They love this shoe like they're they're doing well. They're performing well in this shoe Okay, let's just jump into a few specs real quick 23 millimeter stack height in the heel 13 millimeter stack height in the forefoot so a 10 millimeter drop my shoe size is coming in at seven ounces So 200 grams. I think size nine is about as seven and a half ounces So it is it is lightweight, but it's not the lightest weight Marathon racing shoe out there on the market and from the adios three iteration So this is the next version the adios for it did lose a half an ounce So that's that's always good. You want running shoe companies You they know like we the consumers we the runners we the racers We always are striving to have the lightest the lightest shoe possible when it comes to race day Alright, let's just throw the price out there right now. Why not a hundred and forty dollars a hundred and forty dollars That's not too shabby adidas. I give you some kudos on the price point I'm impressed with a hundred and forty dollars. I must say okay And as far as the upper and the midsole guess what I'm not gonna talk about it I'm not gonna talk I'll touch on the fit here in a minute, but we're gonna save the upper and the midsole for the full review I just need a little more time in the shoe to give you my thoughts there But I do actually want to talk about the outsole this look at this outsole pattern You'll see the the boost foam Shining through the black rubber. That's right. And you might recognize the name at the top there Continental so I'm gonna pull up my phone here and just read you something real quick. Here we go Idiot it all began early in 2007 when we met with our counterparts from adidas at a workshop That them being continental at the time adidas was working on a project designed to improve the grip of their shoes With this aim in mind Gerd Mons and his colleagues were on the lookout for an expert partner from the rubber industry So we made a good match so that little quote was from an interview between the executives at adidas and the executives at Continental I am blown away and so Intrigued I'm gonna read the rest of the article tonight, but basically adidas has partnered with Continental To create the outsole for this Audio's for and some of their other shoes as well Isn't that exciting like too huge? You know million maybe billion dollar companies are partnering to work together to Create a product that we can use as consumers I just think that's amazing to see that collaboration in the 21st century And I'm just gonna so I'm just gonna start with my gut reaction first impressions right now the outsole I tell you what I felt like I was gripping the pavement Really well and like there's there's traction and then there's grip And I don't know all the science behind the rubber and the different types of outsole But I will say I felt like I was put I was getting some good push-off from this Continental rubber outsole so that is kudos to adidas and continental at least off of my first impressions And then the next positive on the first run in the adidas adi zero adios for the lockdown guys It was one of the best Lockdown feels I have felt in a shoe in a long long time Through the forefoot and especially through the midfoot the lockdown through this lacing system And again, we're not gonna dive into the upper right now. I hear you're ready for this I felt like I was in control of the shoe and the shoe was not in control of me Does that make sense? I'm telling you that was one like immediately as soon as I started running I was like, oh, I feel locked really solid lockdown into the shoe So that is a bonus moving on to a few drawbacks from the first run a Slight okay on both feet a slight hot spot So what is a hot spot a hot spot is when rubbing is happening on your foot and that can lead to a blister I was feeling a slight hot spot right above my arch right here on both feet It didn't turn into a blister, but I could feel it toward the end of the run I don't think it was the socks But anyway, just just putting it out there I did feel a hot spot above my arch and then my second and final draw, you know slight drawback thus far is You know, I could notice less cushion and that's you know, I kind of knew that going into when I purchased the shoe Basically that 23 millimeter and 13 millimeter, you know It's it's lower on the scale of other marathon racing shoe options out on the market And if you are a runner, I'll just put it out there right now if you're a runner who loves Brown contact feel in races. Who knows? Maybe this is this might be for you Okay, so you definitely have a I felt good ground contact feel But if you're a runner that loves like a lot of good cushion if you're like a traditional hoka runner Probably not for you. All right, and I should probably mention that today I did 20 miles in the shoe three of those miles was at about 515 per mile pace and again if I was focusing on it, I could really focus on a good toe-off and Propelling myself forward and I could feel a nice solid grip on the pavement So that is a bonus so far so far. Okay, and that keyword is audios That's right for the audios for and the question of the day. This is very broad What questions do you have for me? About this shoe ask me anything keeping in mind. I've only done one run 20 miles And we'll get more miles in them very soon even though a snowstorm is coming tomorrow So it won't be tomorrow, but we'll get more miles in these shoes very soon So ask me anything and I will okay. I'm just gonna put this out there right now I will be doing a comparison between this shoe and the vapor fly 4% flying it from Nike this shoe and Probably I'll probably even do it between the turbo as well So if you have that question just be patient. I'll do a comparison video soon between those two. That's it Thank you for being here for video number two. See beauty work hard. Love each other audios
