Who should buy the Adidas SL20.2

Who should NOT buy the shoe
Since it's a shoe that is all about pace, it's simply not perfect for long, mellow runs. If that's your type of running, consider adidas Originals large logo across body bag in black or Adidas Solarglide 5.

Here is what changed in the second iteration of the SL20:
- Better lockdown. All owed to the new, dual-layer mesh upper of the running shoe, a snug wrap is delivered for a stable performance.
- adidas ultra boost 4 0 core black triple white. This results in a better ground feel and response. The drop went from 10 mm to 9.5 mm. The shoe also shaved a few millimeters off the stack height.
- No more Torsion System. Made the shoe less springy but smoother for longer distances.
- ADIDAS PERFORMANCE Maglia funzionale 'Tennis Club' nero bianco. The original Adidas SL20 weighs in at 8 oz while the SL20.2 weighs 8.7 oz.
Overall, experts think that this version got more friendly for daily running as opposed to being exclusively a speed trainer.
A responsive tempo shoe
According to the runners, the SL20.2 feels springy, fast, and smooth. It feels especially snappy under the toes where you need it for the toe-off. "Fantastic to get up on the toes and keep moving," says a reviewer.
The Lightstrike foam is on the firm side and works best for short and middle distances (less than 30K). And if you do happen to run longer, testers say that your legs won't feel quite as beat up.

The majority of reviewers agree that the Adidas SL20.2 runs true to their regular running shoe size. However, it is very form-fitting and will be most suitable for runners with narrow-to-average feet. Unfortunately, it doesn't come in Wide options.
Very few people had issues with heel slippage but it was easy to fix with the extra eyelets and a runner's knot. The shoe also locks you in with the midfoot cables on the sides (kind of like Nike Flywire).

The shoe is described by wearers to be very breathable and one that "can do well in the summer heat."

The Continental rubber used on the shoe's outsole is unbelievably hard-wearing. Those who have run over 50 miles in the shoe report seeing no signs of wear. "I think Adidas has figured out their outsole," says an expert.
The rubber also made runners feel very confident running fast on wet and slippery roads. "Absolutely fantastic," reports a runner who took it out on snowy and icy roads.
