"Carbon infused" can mean any amount of carbon dust mixed in the plastic. As little as 1% or less. Just like "fruit infused" water can contain less than 1% juice.
It would be cool if Adidas started offering all the shoe models in size 14! I’d even pay a premium for the large size, but geez it’s 2024. I don’t see why Adidas and ASICS don’t offer large shoe sizes in all shoes. We deserve light shoes too!
Some crazy deals on the TS8 still in the UK, about $90 of your dollars, the 9 is about $40 off. The TS9 is so good, Euro cross silver medalist, Emile Cairess ran a debut 2.08.07 marathon in it. He's an Adidas athlete, so that he could chose any shoe he wanted says a lot about it. Shame the 10 is a little less than the sum of the parts.
Agreed (I got an extra pair of 9's really cheap , waiting in the garage when my 8' are finally done), I believe they have 'altered' the shoe to make it more 'focused'.. (marketing and accounts likely strong armed the design team ) as you say the shoe was stepping on the toes of the companies other race day offerings .
As always, a great review. The Takumi Sen 9 was my favorite shoe for quite some time, except for the upper, which is a bit unforgiving. I was hoping the new upper would make it a better shoe, though it sounds like it may have lost some of its snappiness. Do you know of any other shoe that's as twitchy?
Should I try Takumi Sen 9 at all (it’s heavily discounted in the UK) if I have to sell my Adizero Pro 3 after 25K (in all black UK size 8) since my feet can’t handle it and brought out my plantar fasciitis also made my achilles painful AF? Great review guys btw!
Glad I have 2 pairs of v8 with lots of miles left on them. I’ve saved them for races so they should take me well into v11. Robbe, I also sized down .5 in v8. Did you find the same length issue in this new one?
Boston will last a lot longer and can be used for different types of runs as it’s got not lightstrike pro and 2.0 stacked over each other TS 10 is more for pace but for shorter distance 100% recommend Boston 12 Logged in 200 miles and it’s getting faster!
Boston is an every day trainer. It's upper is thicker/heavier & it's durable as hell. Takumi is a 5 or10 km race shoe. It's lighter, quicker, less forgiving & fragile. And I love them both. There's the crazy girl you fantasize about (TS10) & the girl you marry (Boston 12)
Jacket was custom for a handful of GRIT participants (it wasn't even mine), hat can be found here: shop.believeintherun.com/products/rawlings-running-cap
Ordered takumi Sen 9 took them for a run today my little toe topside blistered badly on one foot after 2.5km It has been broken so sits higher than normal feet is the takumi Sen 10 upper more stretchy/accommodating ?
@@peakproofukThe new AF3 which I was lucky to get from a favorite running store is also very spacious in the toebox. I don’t have wide feet but it’s nice for doing a marathon. No worries about smashed toes or foot swelling.
I thought for sure in y’all’s video from TRE that the adidas rep said the rods were carbon in v10. Its literally the only thing missing to make the undisputed king is the 5K/10K race shoe
Anyone else getting a little tired of the ubiquitous 2024 white, black, and splash of orange/yellow? Takumi Sen 10, Alphafly 3, Brooks everything, Saucony Endorphin Speed and Elite, NB SC Elite. Not a bad look, just too much of it.
Noticed it but I like it, and there will be plenty of colorways available soon after launch anyway. I don’t get why people complain about launch colorways since so many more follow
my size is 12, in india they never discount on this shoe, waiting to get one, wish adidas made 12,13 sizes more available.. my collection is kalenji jogflow 500.1k, boston 12 and adizero SL, deviate nitro 2, nimbus 25. wierd i never used a nike in my life 🥲
Robbie's reaction to the Takumi 10 reminds me of Megs reaction to the Alphafly 2.
Robbie seems depressed about the 10 😅
This is an appreciating comment for whoever designed the thumbnail. Classy. Makes this channel stand out from the rest.
I just bought a pair of Sen 9s for $90. Seemed too good of a deal to pass up. Thanks for confirming my decision :)

😂😂😂
That is a great analogy and spot on
On the Sen 8 I skip the middle holes and I still get good lockdown. Took them out for a quick run at lunch today.
I've been picking up over the past year couple extra pairs of the OG Takumi Sen 8s in 11.5 in the Indigo Blue. Best shoes I've ever run in.
Yes, Takumi Sen 8 is amazing running shoes and I love it.
It would be cool if Adidas started offering all the shoe models in size 14! I’d even pay a premium for the large size, but geez it’s 2024. I don’t see why Adidas and ASICS don’t offer large shoe sizes in all shoes. We deserve light shoes too!
at least the takumi sen 9 is available up to us15
Here they are I missed you two

Great review guys, keep it up! Loved Robbie's comment "If you're up late one night drinking, who knows" I feel that way about a lot of shoes LOL
Just picked up some Sen 9s for £69.99 on sale, they are SO good, everything you said about its fun factor is spot on, they're great
Where from? uk based.
It’s late at night. Robbe has been drinking a bit. He sees the Takumi 10 sitting there, all by itself…
Good luck Robbie! Dont drink & dial!😂😂
I've been trying to find the Sen 9s in Canada for some time, I waited too long and they went on sale EARLY!
Where do you even buy the 8 or 9? Can’t find them anywhere
Should I try Takumi Sen 9 at all (it’s heavily discounted in the UK) if I have to sell my Adizero Pro 3 after 25K (in all black UK size 8) since my feet can’t handle it and brought out my plantar fasciitis also made my achilles painful AF? Great review guys btw!
Yes! It’s a great shoe. I could take it to marathon distance though I haven’t yet. But HM for sure though I’ve mostly reserved my 2 pairs for 5K/10K
Glad I have 2 pairs of v8 with lots of miles left on them. I’ve saved them for races so they should take me well into v11. Robbe, I also sized down .5 in v8. Did you find the same length issue in this new one?
Yeah, fit is the same as the last two
Difference between Takumi Sen 10 vs Boston 12 ?
Boston will last a lot longer and can be used for different types of runs as it’s got not lightstrike pro and 2.0 stacked over each other
TS 10 is more for pace but for shorter distance
100% recommend Boston 12
Logged in 200 miles and it’s getting faster!
Boston is an every day trainer. It's upper is thicker/heavier & it's durable as hell. Takumi is a 5 or10 km race shoe. It's lighter, quicker, less forgiving & fragile.
And I love them both. There's the crazy girl you fantasize about (TS10) & the girl you marry (Boston 12)
Im not a fan of how Adidas do that cut-out under the pinkie toe. My foot lands right in that spot and it feels really odd for me.
Does anyone know anything about the pro 4 ? Been a long time coming
Great analogy on Robbie and his relationship with the shoe!!!
😂
Takumi 10 might not be fire but Robbe's fit sure is. Where do i buy the hat and jacket ?!?
Jacket was custom for a handful of GRIT participants (it wasn't even mine), hat can be found here: shop.believeintherun.com/products/rawlings-running-cap

How many miles do you have? I’ve found LSP has a break in factor so could that be the difference between this and the 9?
Around 30, but never felt the 8 and 9 needed to be broken in
My 8’s were both perfect out of the box too
Thanks for the review. Can anyone tell the difference in the midsole & energy rods from the Takumi 9 to the 10? 👟
The background music felt like I was a kid again playing Final Fantasy 8 lol
Awesome review!
What’s the shape like? I found most Adidas quite pointy - squeeze my big toe over to the centre.
Oh it’s pointy
Hammer toe for days 😅
@@Believeintherunthanks for the reply. I find Vaporfly surprisingly foot shaped in the big toe area - although they don’t talk about it.
@@peakproofukThe new AF3 which I was lucky to get from a favorite running store is also very spacious in the toebox. I don’t have wide feet but it’s nice for doing a marathon. No worries about smashed toes or foot swelling.
Me and adidas uppers don't get on, always rub my toes on the right foot quite badly, I'll stick to the Rocket X2 and Vaporfly but great video guys!
When is that color way coming out?
I thought for sure in y’all’s video from TRE that the adidas rep said the rods were carbon in v10. Its literally the only thing missing to make the undisputed king is the 5K/10K race shoe
Takumi Sen 10 or Rebel V4. Please compared them because i need to buy with honest review. Thanks
Takumi is a true tempo middle distance racer. The Rebel doesn’t feel as aggressive.
If you only have one shoe for everything, what would you pick? Boston 12 or takumi sen 10?
Boston 12
@@Believeintherunthank you. I appreciate the reply. Thank you for the good reviews too. You’re helping a lot of beginners really.
Good morning. Like to Thomas and Robbe. Cheers.

Where are the Takumi 10s? I can’t find them anywhere. Have they been released yet
Dude it's so frustrating and confusing, we check in every couple weeks and they keep saying they're coming, but still nothing
Seen this at ross $39 i think i should cop it
Yes
I’ve just bought these. Are they any good for half marathon distances?
Update?
Have missed grabbing the 8 and 9, this one looks great so will have to pick it up
In my opinion, TS 10 is not much different from TS 9. So either of them is good whichever is more available to you. 😊
8 is still going strong on the adidas canada website.
Guys ! Can I use takumisen 10 for marathons ?
Sooo… is it better to get the 9 or 10?
Robbe prefers 9, Thomas likes both
Where is it available??!!
Apparently there's been some inventory hiccups, should be any day now
SO, does it compare to top rated race shoes?? The Nike Vaporfly?? No, probably not. Should have done a comparison.
can i use takumi sen 10 in 21k?
Yes.
I actually possess the 9, so I keep it 😊
i agree with Robbie 😂 i think Adidas reverse the characteristics between Boston and Takumi Sen now..
Carl here 😂
To think that we are all carbon based tho!!.. 🤔 😝
It’s a new carbon, Krakenite.
Yep yep. Nobody buy the Sen 10. Leave them all for me.
Boring review 🙄
Exciting comment. Your critique is simple but impactful. Keep up the great work.

my size is 12, in india they never discount on this shoe, waiting to get one, wish adidas made 12,13 sizes more available.. my collection is kalenji jogflow 500.1k, boston 12 and adizero SL, deviate nitro 2, nimbus 25. wierd i never used a nike in my life 🥲
