I completely agree with everything that you have said. I ran 13 miles today straight out of the box and was really worried when I tried them on that they weren’t going to be a shoe that I would want to run more than 2 miles in but, I couldn’t stop running today, literally was only planning to do maybe a seven or 8 mile run and I just wanted to keep running… Completely surprised me because of the way the upper felt initially I was really worried I wasn’t going to like them. This is my first experience in Adidas ftwr so will be interesting to put more miles on them and see how they do, especially the foam. Thanks for the review! Cheers!

Yea these are a nice surprise for sure!!

Awesome. I wore these for a 55k race. Was perfect. Everything u said

Glad to hear they worked well for that distance!

Why its feels so good cushion is because it is actually not a top layer of lightstrike but a rim of lightstrike around full hight lightstrike pro. S it adds stability but doesnt take away from the cushion.

Makes sense!!

Nice review. I agree they are really good shoes, snappy nimble and light. The LS basic foam wraps around the outside upper border with LS Pro fully as base.

Agreed! Explains why it’s such a fun bouncy shoe.

Awesome review! I'm actually eyeing this one. How do you compare them to the tnf vectiv pro in terms of midsole?

@swiftcolin

It’s a lower stack but it’s actually a similar feeling foam, great cushion with a lot of bounce.

👍 Another trail shoe in this class thats actually underrated Asics fujispeed!

I’ve been really wanting to try those out!

I totally agreed with all your point except grip and drainage. I don't think the lug pattern is really good. My first 35km run with 590m elevation went through river crossing single track grass, mud...etc it was a good test and the shoe did pretty well. I find the drainage not bad, though not great after the initial 300m in the water. I got mine for 38% off Rrp, so it was a great deal for a bouncy shoe.

Hi! Nice review of the speed. Can you maybe do a review of the Ultra also? The ultra doesn’t have carbon rods btw, it’s plastic TPU rods so it shouldn’t be as stiff as a carbon racer. The plastic rods is more for stiffening up the full midsole of the more softer lightstrike pro. Thanks!

Run4Adventure has a First Run Agravic Speed rewiew. There is a comment there, one guy has a lot of Adida's shoes and have both Agravic Ultra and Agravoc Speed, and gives a wonderfull insight of both. Took me a long time to find it, hope it serves you well. 👍🙌🇧🇷

I gave those away, but I can say they are fantastic, much preferred those over the Vectiv Pro’s

@@swiftcolin Thanks! Also, how do you compare the agravic speed to the hierro v7? I have Hierro v7, and the midsole feels dead (almost dull) on fast, rough/technical downhill. Does the agravic speed do the job any better on that use case?

@swiftcolin

@shohibwijaya7904 yea it feels like a way faster shoe than the Hierro.

Have you try the boston 12, if so does it feel the same ? Or is it more bouncy or firm ?

@swiftcolin

2 ай бұрын

Unfortunately I haven’t, mostly run trails, but I know the 12’s have light strike pro on top and light strike underneath and this shoe is the opposite, so I’m assuming the agravic speed would feel a little more firm, but I can’t say for sure.

I saw that the outsole 'neck' between the heel and the forefoot to be super narrow. Did you find this to be the cause of the heel instability you mentioned?

@swiftcolin

2 ай бұрын

I didn’t notice that, it was more of a rounded feel in the heel for me

Did you have problems with the side walls digging into your ankles whilst wearing them in? My first run in these shoes, they were digging into the bottom portion of my ankles every time I turned left or right.

I don’t think so, I usually wear pretty thick socks though

@swiftcolin

Definitely up to 50, maybe even 100. It’s not exactly like a plated shoe, but the cushion has great bounce.

Can you please do a top 5
