An eye-candy of a shoe and great for running or roaming about in style. It feels light yet durable for easy or speedier runs. The style itself is very unique and looks great with any outfit. The front part is a little narrow compared to other shoes, but still manages to get a good bounce and support.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the ADIZERO EVO SL trainers, and I have to say - they’ve completely elevated my running experience. From the first run, I noticed how lightweight and responsive they are. The energy return is impressive, making every stride feel smooth and efficient. The cushioning strikes a great balance - plush enough to absorb impact, yet firm enough to maintain a snappy feel. The breathable upper keeps my feet cool even during long runs, and the fit is secure without being too tight. I’m truly enjoying my runs more with these trainers. Whether it’s a quick 5K or a longer weekend session, they consistently deliver comfort, support, and performance. Highly recommended for anyone serious about running!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m pretty astonished by how good these are. I’ve only had one run and went about 85% on a hilly 5k and was within 90secs of my PR which was achieved on a flat closed course in plated shoes, I think on same conditions these would be faster. I’ll mainly be using these as Hyrox workout trainers for sessions that have a bit of running with station work and I’m excited to see how they go, I appreciate them not having a carbon plate but still being racey and light as plates often flare my Achilles up if I use them too much in training. I sized up by 0.5 and they’re perfect. I have a quick video review on my TikTok @daniclaff if you prefer to see initial thoughts there
I purchased these to replace my NB Rebel trainers for easy runs, having found the previous SLs unsuitable for my hot climate and the uppers to be a little too busy. The Evo SLs have proven to be well cushioned and lightweight, with enough stability for paved or flat surfaces and long runs. The fit is consistent with other Adizero runners. I had some unexpected rubbing on one of my toes (which might be a result of more roominess rather than less), and I find the tongue to be fiddley when putting them on (but trouble free once laced). I am concerned about the outsole durability (looking a little sad after 100km) although I expect the foam will run out of life before I can destroy the Continental tread. Cooling is good (they're not hot shoes), more would be great, even if restricted to this region.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing shoes! Now on my second pair, lightweight, fast and fun. My new daily / tempo trainer.
This shoe definitely made me faster and helped me understand my running form better. I dont know if it’s the rocker but you naturally pick up pace when running. The only thing that is disappointing about this shoe is the laces and the tongue. The laces are too short for a runners knot and the tongue also short so it often slips under the laces at times. Other than that this shoe overall is fire and fun to run in.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely versatile shoe that I would consider racing in for distances anywhere from 5k up to the marathon, although for the full marathon I probably would end up lacing up a supershoe. For comparison, I'm a huge fan of the Takumi Sen lineup, which I feel similar about in terms of versatility; the Adizero EVO SL have a very different on foot feel however, much more comfortable and forgiving underfoot, as well as a plusher upper.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic lightweight training shoe, can be used as a daily trainer but I prefer something more cushioned. Fits perfectly into my rotation - I use this shoe for any speed work, and used it for 1 long run to try out, held up great, especially in the faster blocks. Everything online suggests you size up 1/2 a size, I am usually between UK9-9.5, went for the 9.5 and fits great, but think a 9 would be too small. Finally- for the price of this shoe, definitely recommend. If you are a beginner runner only buying 1 shoe, I don't think this is for you. If you have a rotation, or a bit more experience, there is no better shoe in the market right now.
After years of searching finally i found this, this is not a good shoes this is the best running shoes that ever made, sharp light, responsive, comfortable, stable and with a excellent price.
I had 5 runs (less than 20 km) and the soul is starting to open up. This is my first Adidas running shoes and already disappointed with the quality.
