    Amazing running shoes. Very comfortable and bouncy. Much more than the usual Nike VF and AF. 

    Would not recommend for runners with weak ankles as these can be unstable.

    Otherwise these are near perfection.

  • Amazing adidas shoe! I’m a Nike fan so that says a lot!

    So much bounce and cushion. Stability can be tricky but if you know that you turn gingerly!

    Even with the crazy stack height, the shoe is fairly light, and very responsive.  In fact, at any pace, it feels springy.  Even after about 400 miles, the shoe has life left in it.  The upper locks the foot in, and never feels hot.  I'm reviewing the Prime X strung and not the original.

  • Amazing shoe, but pricey and not much for looking at

    The Prime X is an incredible shoe.  It feels amazing, all 50mm of that stack are great.  It is unstable, so if you have any stability issues, I'd stay away.  Good for a wide range of runs.
