foamposite yeezy black shoes adidas review
Adidas adidas campus vulc shoe shoes marathon racing flat, the Adizero Sub2, after their popular Adizero Adios Boost line was overtaken in the marathon game by the Nike Vaporfly 4%.
The Sub2 is impressively light, breathable, responsive and fast. As Adidas has made a staple of, in their partnership with Goodyear, the shoe also has incredible traction.
The weight Adidas cut when comparing the Adios line to the Sub2 made the shoe firmer and more responsive, with a very “close to the ground feel.” However, the lack of cushioning in the forefoot makes the shoe a great 5k to half marathon option but only will be a marathon shoe for a select audience.

The upper of the Sub 2 is very light and breathable. In fact, you can see right through most of the shoe (notice this in the pictures).
The upper lacing system provides a secure feeling even with the obvious reduced material used in forming the upper. The upper is also very flexible in the toe box, something that the Adidas Adios line did not provide.
Midsole of the Adizero Sub 2
Adidas has implemented a fully lined Boost midsole in the Sub2. The Boost material was previously only partially used in the heel of the Adios midsole.
The improvement is more responsiveness in your run, which the Boost material has become famous for. However, the Boost material used in the forefoot does seem to make the forefoot launch quite a bit firmer.
The Sub2 produces an audible slapping noise when the foot strikes the ground. I’ve run next to others wearing the Sub2 and noticed it sounds quite different from them as well.

The Sub2 outsole is all one piece with a smooth heel to toe transition reminiscent of the New Balance Fresh Foam Zante. The one-piece outsold offers a smooth midfoot and even heel-strike landing zone.
The Goodyear traction offers the best traction and connection to the ground feeling of any racing flat or shoe that I plaza tried. If running in damp or wet conditions the reassurance of this technology is second to none.

The Boost material throughout the sole gives the Sub2 a pop that the adios doesn’t quite plaza. However, the Sub 2 is quite firm in the forefoot and does not offer much cushion.

Based on your foot-strike and cushioning needs in a marathon it could be a great option, I would think many will need more cushioning.
