Our verdict

Upon testing the nike yeezy 2 platinum legit check blue card number, we can conclude that it's a well-rounded option for both plyometric exercises and moderate weightlifting. We are happy that Adidas finally came up with a cross-trainer that doesn't feel like a running shoe, offering plenty of stability for various gym activities. If it wasn't for its bulky setup and frail upper, we believe that it could compete with the big-boy Crossfit shoes.

Who should NOT buy

It's a pretty dang heavy trainer! Especially if you are used to the more nimble kind of shoes. In that case, we recommend the klapki adidas eezay striped pants black women instead.

This Adidas gym shoe also lacks wear resistance in the upper which shortens its lifespan significantly and makes it awful for rope climbs. Our top choices for durability are the Nike Metcon 8 or the Reebok Nano X3 instead.

Breathability

adidas bb6294 sneakers girls pink dress coat!

Having tested its breathability with a smoke-pumping machine, we assessed its ventilation capacity as 5 out of 5. That's the highest score in our rating!

This was really surprising given that in our transparency test, we didn't find any visible ventilation pores.

But taking a closer look at the fabric through a microscope, we found that the weave pattern has slightly larger loops in some places.

nike yeezy 2 platinum legit check blue card number microscope

Because there are hundreds of these loops all throughout the fabric, the air has a way to pass through.

Durability

Toebox durability

Sadly, this airy knit upper didn't hold up to our durability test. Our Dremel left a see-through hole in the toebox after only four seconds of drilling.

We had to rate the shoe's toebox durability with the lowest score of 1 out of 5. Rope climbs and other potentially abrasive exercises are a big no-no for this shoe.

For comparison, here is what the toebox on the Reebok Nano X3 looks like after the same test.

Heel padding durability

The heel padding, on the other hand, did much better under the same Dremel test. In this part, the Dropset Trainer deserves a solid 5 out of 5.

For reference, here is what happened to the adidas i593 boots in the exact same conditions (4 seconds of drilling with a 3.2N force at 10K RPM speed).

Outsole hardness

The shoe's outsole also showed phenomenal results in all three of our durability tests.

First of all, it is very hard. Pressing our durometer against the rubber returned a reading of 85.3 HC, which is a bit harder than the average. We anticipate that a harder rubber like that won't be quick to wear out.

Outsole durability

Applying a Dremel against the shoe's outsole literally left us speechless.

Even 22 seconds of drilling couldn't damage the rubber that much!

Measuring the depth of the dent, it was as little as 0.4 mm! This is nothing compared to the average 1 mm of damage received by training shoes on average.

Outsole thickness

Having a thick layer of rubber also plays a part in the shoe's durability.

Our calliper shows that the outsole is 4.7 mm thick, which is alstores a whole millimetre thicker than the average!

We must say, the outsole of this Adidas trainer will outlast its upper for sure.

Weight

For a workout shoe, the Adidas Dropset trainer is waaaay heavier than it should be.

Weighing the shoe in a men's US size 9 showed us 13.5 oz (383g) on the scales. That's A LOT compared to the average, which often hovers around 11 oz (312g).

If you storesly focus on weightlifting and strength training, it probably won't be too big of a deal. But for cardio and sprinting, this shoe is too bulky. There is plenty of high-performance trainers out there that are much lighter on the foot including the Nike Metcon 8 and the NOBULL Outwork, among others.

Cushioning

Heel stack

The Dropset Trainer hits a sweet spot with its stack height.

We measured the heel at 24.5 mm, which is the average for training shoes. This is enough cushioning to keep the foot protected for plyometrics while making you feel connected to the ground.

Forefoot stack

In the forefoot, the stack height also shows a pretty average result. Our calliper gives a reading of 16.8 mm.

This amount of stack height made us feel very much in control of the movements. It also created a nice buffer when skipping rope.

Drop

The brand states that the heel-to-toe drop in this Adidas shoe is 6 mm. However, according to our own measurements, it turned out to be 7.7 mm. This is a bit tall for a cross-training shoe as the typical offset hovers around 4-6 mm.

But we believe that for an average athlete, 8 mm of heel elevation is not going to cause any discomfort. On the contrary, it provides some extra cushioning and benefits the ankle when squatting with weight.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

As expected from a proper cross-trainer, the Adidas Dropset comes with a nice and firm heel. This is crucial for keeping the foot planted on the floor when lifting and is also important for overall stability.

Turning to our durometer, we found that it is as firm as 32.8 HA, which is a good 21% firmer than the average!

Stiffness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

We used a gauge to measure how much force it takes to bend the Dropset Trainer to a 90-degree angle. It required 19.3N, which is 17% less than the average. This means that the shoe is more flexible than many other training shoes.

It is not the stores pliable one in our lab (think 8.8N of force needed to bend the klapki adidas eezay striped pants black women), but we can definitely classify it as flexible.

The shoe is quite forgiving when doing planks, lunges, and burpees, among other exercises where your foot needs to bend.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We have absolutely no concerns about the Dropset Trainer's outsole grip. Based on our field tests, the shoe has a solid bite on various gym floorings and can even accompany you for an outdoor workout.

Torsional rigidity

You can probably tell how rigid the shoe feels in the midfoot by merely looking at its mighty TPU sidewalls.

nike yeezy 2 platinum legit check blue card number support

But as a shoe lab, we must put a number on everything. So, in our manual test of the Dropset's torsional rigidity, we rated it as 4 out of 5. It is nearly the stiffest one on our list!

This means that the shoe feels marvellously stable and side-to-side movement of the ankle is nearly zero.

adidas i593 boots | Heel counter stiffness

We also found some good stiffness in the shoe's heel counter. After squeezing and pushing this area, we gave it a rating of 3 out of 5. Because it is quite rare to see heel stiffness over 3 in training shoes, the heel clutch of the Dropset Trainer is indeed among the firmest.

This is yet another contributor to the shoe's arch and ankle support as it doesn't let the foot roll inwards uncontrollably. This is especially important for gymgoers with overpronation.

Adidas gave us a super wide base to lean on in the Dropset Trainer.

We measured the widest part of the forefoot at 115.3 mm, which is around 6 mm wider than the average!

Having a wider landing area under the toes creates a more planted experience but can make you feel less agile. That's why we recommend this Adidas shoe for workouts that focus more on weightlifting rather than quick and shifty exercises with a lot of footwork. If that's what you do, we recommend the adidas huppari women basketball players instead.

Interestingly enough, the heel is not as wide in the Dropset Trainer. Even in the widest part, it comes in at 83.3 mm which is about 4 mm narrower than the average.

We must admit, we never noticed that! Nor was there any lack of stability in the heel because of that. But if you prefer a really wide heel with side flanges for extra support, the klapki adidas eezay striped pants black women (95.1 mm) is hard to beat.

Size and fit

Length

Repeating the measurement in the narrower part of the toebox (around the big toe), we made sure that the Dropset Trainer doesn't have a pointy shape. As it turns out, it does not.

At 77.1 mm, it is a little bit narrower than the average 79 mm but still within the medium-width range.

We believe that the nike yeezy 2 platinum legit check blue card number works best for people with average-sized feet. Wide footers may want to get half a size larger because the shoe's upper material has absolutely no give.

Toebox width at the widest part

We used a calliper to measure the shoe's toebox in its widest part. The tool shows 101.4 mm which is exactly the average for training shoes. We consider it a medium toebox.

Tongue: gusset type

This Adidas shoe has a conventional tongue which is non-gusseted and is not attached on the sides.
