Merry 🎄 S/Lab Pulsar SG vs original A/B Test Run. Everything hard frozen so road as firm as trail! Similarities: My fastest run by far on this door to trail loop more road than trail. PR on all the (minor) climbs. A rocket on all surfaces! Differences: ✅ SG has clear improvements in upper fit and comfort at front of laces (less baggy/sharp fold more foot confirming) and at lace up due to extended stretch tongue and webbing loops for quick laces so less bite. SH may have a bit more volume overall as a result and are far easier to pull on. ✅ SG has Mire rubber=less vibration shock on firm, more stability, and more cushion- especially at the forefoot. Amazingly light! US9 / EU 42 2/3 at 202g / 7.13g. A bit more than 1 oz / 28g heavier than original so nothing really. 4.5mm lugs vs. about 2.5mm for hard ground Release date to be confirmed . $180.

adizero Takumi Sen 8 reviews : multi tester, multi languages including 🇫🇷 soon• @la_poutance In for test! Like the whole #adizero ‘21 collection, the @adidasrunning Takumi Sen 8 underwent a total revamp. Still marketed as a 5/10k racer, the thick slab of Lightstrike Pro (33/27) might work for 13.1 too. The translucent mesh, a very special outsole, cutouts pattern and the trademark energy rods complete the package, all this just shy of 200g for 10.5US / 44 ⅔ EU. The little video shows how the sole and rods compress under load (a usual « before Christmas Eve fest » load 🦃) Multi testers review soon on @roadtrailrun #adidasrunning #takumi #takumisen8 #takumisen #lightstrikepro #impossibleisnothing (Jeremy’s sample a personal purchase.

Special, very special! Salomon S/Lab Pulsar SG in for Test. Thank you Salomon S/Lab! The softer ground version of RoadTrailRun’s Trail Shoe of the Year 2021, one the lightest run shoes on the planet and for trail no less. Amazingly light! See weights next pics : US9 / EU 42 2/3 at 202g / 7.13g. A bit more than 1 oz / 28g heavier than original so nothing really as we have. 6mm drop 4.5mm lugs vs. about 2.5mm for hard ground Pulsar in a more aggressively angled pattern . More grip of course and I expect more cushion and stability too but we’ll see. A touch more substantial upper with 4 webbing lace loops and more extensive vamp/ lace overlays , wider stretch tongue, a more substantial toe bumper overlay and a slightly longer stretch tongue and further forward associated overlay. Testing and review to come. Let it get snowy and sloppy! Release date to be confirmed . $180. #timetoplay #futureatplay #slabpulsar #slabpulsarsg #salomonrunning #slabpulsarsg #salomonslab Samples provided at no charge for review purposes . #runstagram #runnergram #instarun #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runningshoes #instarunners #igrunners #runnerscommunity #ultrarunning #trailrunning #mountainrunning #runitfast #runninggear #roadtrailrun #runningshoes #iloverunning #run4fun #werun #sneakerhead #sneakerheads #runningmotivation #trailrun #trailrunner #optoutside #trailrunningshoes
