Looks like a simple, lightweight trainer. Anyone tried them? Your report, please.

I bought a pair of them from running warehouse because i wanted something that was a little bit more built up than my hyperspeed 4s, which tend to leave my feet pretty sore after long runs on asphalt. Anyway, the oregons are pretty stiff, especially when compared to the hyperspeeds and even the adizero. the toe box is narrow, so try them on if you can (i ordered mine online and guessed the size... mine are a bit tight in the toe box and leave me with blisters sometimes.) as for a lightweight trainer, they are just that- very well ventilated and not much heavier than a racing flat. I'd say go for it. just try them on first.
Those are a street reissue of an early '80s running shoe. I know cause I owned a pair back then. I think they have a board last which makes them stiff. They are light, not terribly cushioned. They are not a new model. Adidas reissues a lot of old models for casual wear. I wouldn't use them as serious running shoes.
I've been running in them for a month now. I wear them for my track workouts a little more cushioning and a little stiffer than my racing flats (adizeros). I agree with the other comments the toe box its narrow and longer workouts on the track have given me a blister or two.

Say what ? They're freakin awesome. I'm 40 lbs.heavier than my racing days,and they feel just as great as back in the day ! I'm running/jogging 30 miles a week in them on the road, and 1 track workout (albeit ,slow) every ten days.
I purchased from Running Wharehouse. I don't believe they're in the market to sell retro running shoes for "streetwear".
Thanks, Adidas for bringing these back . Please do not discontinue.
Man, these dudes live up the street. Sh*t, sometimes stuff goes down, and these bros got these shoes on when these things happen. Man, some nights I get so scared, but these guys they got these shoes on.....
