I have an old pair of adios 2's, the ones with "adiprene" and not "boost" cushioning. I LOVE these shoes. They're so stiff and give that connection to the road. But adidas would appear to be discontinuing them even tho they were Kimettos record setting shoes in berlin...?
Anyone have any ideas? Does adidas have another model that is resembles the same stiff midsole and responsiveness of the adios 2?
Lol Adidas.
More stiff does not equal more responsive.
The Adios Boost is less stiff (lower durometer), but it is more responsive (You lose less energy returned to your foot from the running surface)
Adios Boost is about .6 oz heavier, but the INCREASED responsive more than makes up for that.
The new model is faster. Choose faster over feeling like you have a wooden plank strapped to your foot.

Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you.
Thank you for the informed answer. I realize my post was actually confusing as I wasn't concerned about the Adios Boost edition. Its the fact that the adios boost line seems to be given no attention at all by adidas as if they are discontinuing it, at least in canada. They have one model on the canadian site which is 170$ which is frustrating and the color scheme is terrible. Seems alot for a lightweight flat. But I love the shoe too much so will probably settle with the purple on eastbay.
I broke the WR at last year's Berlin in Adios Boost...

Im canadian as well, just got my purple adios boost 2. Remember to half size up!
Also, adidas are not getting rid of the shoe. Infact there is a new color scheme released.
