It was challenging to say the least.
So much so, that in the eight years since, Ive once again been at odds with running.
The result: The Adizero Prime X2 Strung running shoe boasts a massive stack height and double carbon plate.
Designed with three layers of Lightstrike Pro foam, the stack is a whopping 50mm.
Currently, World Athletics Footwear Regulations require that stacks not surpass 40mm for elite road races.
Beyond the banned characteristics, the Prime X 2 Strung showcase a truly unique upper.
…
Its incredibly lightweight, not to mention breathable, both of which play a significant role in mid-run comfort.
Lets start with looks.
All in all, I dig the appearance.
I do, however, wish that they were sold in more colors.
(I still drool over the OGAdizero Prime X Strung Pulse Mint/Lucid Fuchsiapair.)
Of course,Im no sprinter or elite athlete.
When Im really booking it, I can run a mile in a little less than nine minutes.
Truly, I have never run more effortlessly.
Additionally, the minimal drop makes forefoot running feel natural.
…
Theyre not without downsides, though.
Walking in them can feel a bit unnatural due to the weight, height, and cushion.
Because of this, you may feel weighed down mid-stride, especially if youre sprinting and/or running long distance.
Now, to see if they inspire me to book my second half.
Only time will tell!
