I have never bought an Adidas shoe and now probably never will..

Rather than propel runners straight upward, the blades compress and release energy at an angle to push you forward, says Mikal Peveto, Adidas America's Director of Running. Compared to traditional foam midsoles, the shoes "return" more of the energy that goes into each footfall, meaning that it takes less energy to actually push off on the next step. Bottom line: You're helping to spring yourself forward without using as much of your own energy as you normally would. (Translation: Possibly seconds shaved off PRs.)

I love Adidas. My everyday shoe for about a decade has been the Superstar 2G's. Unfortunately they decided to discontinue them, so now I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. First world problems.

Curious, what's wrong with Adidas? You just buy Nike/Jordan?

I actually wasn't taking a shot at them by saying i never bought Adidas. I just never have. Mostly because i don't like their styles/designs, i guess. Lately, though, they seem to be coming up with gimmicks, so the second part of my comment was a shot at them.

Not a Nike/Jordan guy exclusively, but i probably have worn Nikes more than anything, although that mostly came as a teen.

Extremely comfortable shoe, in my opinion.

Yeah, I'll probably be picking up a pair of these Adidas too.

These were probably the most comfortable basketball shoes I've ever worn.
