Adidas Adizero SL2 vs New Balance Rebel v4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- The Adidas Adizero SL2 and New Balance Rebel v4 are both lightweight everyday running shoes designed to offer a fun and fast ride. The recently released Adizero SL2 ($130) has impressed me so far during testing, so I decided to put it up against the Rebel v4 ($140), current reigning champ for lightweight speed. In this video, I give an overview of both shoes, take them out for a comparison test run and let you know my thoughts on which shoe is best for you.

This dude is like telepathic is answering the questions I wanted to know lol
Your comparison videos are too good that you could prolly make an SL2 vs a toaster entertaining. Lol Great vid as always bro bro
Totally agree! The blue skies (and/or clouds), bird songs, and the question "what am I going to see today?" get me out the door most mornings. Ran in my old trusty Reebok Floatride Energy 3s and had a great time on the streets. Keep doing your thing!
Very, very inspiring reviews. Thanks for the time and effort that comes through in every single video
🙌🏽 thank you!
Enough with the horse pace, pleaded in puns and made your case. You're killing it man. Been living with the SL2 these last 4 days as an addition to my rebel v4 as my two daily trainers. Spot on comparo!
I hope SL2 vs Supernova Rise is coming! Thank for putting in the work! I can't wait for the Hobby Jogger hats are for sale! I'll even take one with the lettering on the seams.
I have both and using the SL2 as an uptempo daily trainer and the SN Rise for long runs and easy/recovery efforts. The SN Rise has replaced the Novablast 3 in my rotation. They are both daily trainer type shoes, but work well for different types of daily runs as I detailed above. Great 1-2 combination.
Love your channel my boy!! Love from central California!! ❤️💛💚 love the breakdown of shoe comparison that you do!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you sir!
The best thing about this shoe is that it's from Adidas. Adidas has a global presence (unlike Hoka, On, Saucony, even NB), and the SL2, being the cheapest running shoe in the Adizero lineup, is a really solid choice for many runners out there. Hats off to Adidas for bringing it to the masses.
Hi you're being an inspiration for me in my road to the marathon. Love the company and good vibes
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have 20 miles on my Adizero SL2 and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite all time daily trainers. Feels great at a variety of paces from 6:50-7:30 speed work to 8:00-8:30 recovery efforts. I agree the first run out of the box was almost chaotic in nature with how soft and bouncy they were, but now they have a natural feel that can do anything you ask them to do. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing how the SL2 holds up for you as you continue to test the durability.
Chaotic is the right way to describe that first run for sure 😂
@@supwell Everytime I put in the SL2, the one word that comes to mind is “Fun”. It’s really quite refreshing to run in for that natural feel and being non-plated in a world where tech is king.
Ran a 10k in SL2s first day I got them 😂 truly a great all-rounder shoe. Recovery, high mileage, or speed, SL2 can handle whatever.
Another banger video!!! You are answering big questions my friend! 🤙🏻
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks for always putting out good content.
The more you talk about the sl20 the more I want them. I recently got the rebel v4 and have put about 100km in them. And if I'm honest, my first run in them I was kind of disappointed. The shoes were soft but I felt like I wasn't getting much energy return, almost like I was running on a sponge. For reference I'm 5'8 165lb and fairly muscular build, forefoot to midfoot striker. I've been running in the endorphin speed 2 for years and I raced my last marathon in the under armour velociti elite v2. Both those shoes have similar foam that are more firm and responsive. So the rebel v4 was quite different from those shoes.
After 100km the shoes have broken in more and they're soft, comfortable, and light weight. I agree that the shoe makes you do the work and you don't get as much help from the shoe like you would with a plated shoe and you need to have good mechanics.
I mainly use the rebel v4 for easy days and shorter intervals. I feel like at faster intervals the foam is bottoming out almost and I don't get as much back from the shoe, but it makes up for it somewhat with its light weight, flexibility, and rocker.
I think my biggest con with the rebel v4 is the durability. After 100km some of the exposed foam is starting to get scuffed. I just started marathon prep for my next race in October and I'll be using the rebel for easy days, but I don't think they will last years like my Endo speed 2.
As you said, I think the sl20 would be a better all around marathon training shoe than the rebel. But the rebel is a great option for easy days and some short distance speed work.
Thanks again for the great informative content and Keep putting in that work.
No joke! It just came out and the Adidas SL2 right now is already on sale for $91.00 with discount code.
USA only?
Where?
@@romulogallardo1
At Adidas USA
@@tadejdanev5030
Yes!
Get some recovery man, or I'm gonna be calling a moratorium on further shoe tests. 😱😥 If someone had told me a month ago that SL2 would be this fantastic, I wouldn't have believed them. But here we are baby - the new king has ascended to the throne. First time I hear about the negative drop, although it makes sense for heel strikers and shoes with really low drops. Have a nice weekend, man!
Loved the "sausage in the casing" description, lol.
This is the match up i've been waiting. Let's go! 🔥
Was the rebel v4 already dethroned? Ouch
If adidas doesnt start giving you shoes then I dont know how. You are basically working for them at this point 😂
This man got me excited for the three stripes
This came just on time. Needed a new daily and my superblast finally gave out. Saw the shoe 30% off at adidas with promo Hotdeal at $96. No brainer with that.
Be interested to see how it compares with the Noosa Tri 16.
i think if it's Adidas vs. NB, this should look like this:
SL vs 1080
Adios vs Rebel
Takumi vs Pacer
Adios Pro vs SC Elite
Prime X Strung vs SC Trainer
am personally excited for adios 9 and the new pacer
Muito obrigado por seus vídeos, eles são sensacionais - informativos e com um ótima pitada de senso de humor!
Should do an SL2 versus supernova
I was curious about this too
My workout Tuesday was 400 repeats on the track with one minute rest between. I ran them in Rebel v3. It's a good shoe for the workout, and is stable on the curves.
Love that shoe for fast running! That was my go to all of last summer and fall
Keep the SL2 videos coming. Let's see the 100 mile review.
yessir we're on the road there!
Had to order the SL2 since they are discounted on the adidas site
Try the supernova primas 😮👌🏾
6:36 is a bad mile 😂
Dude is on a another level wow
Yo. I know you haven't run it it, but the SL2 feels like the Prime X Strung 2 Jr. Even those 3 cutouts on the sole are the same...fast cushioned...Thoughts?
If I were to suggest a video, I would want to know your concerns with Race day shoes at higher mileage. During a Marathon build I want to be confident in my Race day shoes....I have five 20+ mile runs in the build...if I were to run 120-150 miles as a 175 lb dude on my race day shoe before running the Marathon....would you be concerned about the foam? for any of them? Looking at Adios Pro, Endorphin Pro, etc. Clayton Young mentioned piling his whole build on a pair of Skys and then running in a fresh pair in Paris. Most of us not buying two pairs of Race shoes.
Great suggestion for a video topic. And interesting insight on the prime x strung - I'm planning to test that at some point this year
It’s UP
Just a question. Do you look at your heart rate when running? What's your usual heart rate during these types of run? Beginner runner here. Thanks
Great question - I don't look at heart rate much anymore. I like training by effort on my everyday runs - making sure I'm running at a pace that feels relaxed. And then by effort and pace for my workout days - so going by a pace target and then if that target feels too aggressive for that day adjusting down. Training by heart rate can be good if you like the data and getting deep in the numbers, but for me I found it wasn't that enjoyable (focusing on trying keep a low heart rate for example made me feel like I was actively making my heart rate higher 😂). And as for the second part of your question my heart rate is probably between 135 to 155 on everyday runs and 160 to 180 on faster workout days
@@supwell awesome response! Thanks... I like the new balance rebel v4 and planning to get it. After watching this, I'm not sure anymore 🤣
Just picked up the SL 2 for $91 from Adidas, absolute steal
Man I just need to know, SL2 or Novablast 4 LOL. I have NB Fresh Foam More V4 and the 1080V12s, I HATE the 1080V12s and the mores just don't fit my foot great, toes go numb and seem to have an issue on the right foot where the edge of the inside annoys the side of my foot! I need a good everyday training shoe for my first 10k/half-marathon this year.
SL2 leans faster and softer and Novablast leans firmer and for more relaxed paces. SL2 is a bit more versatile and a lot better for fast running, but the Novablast has a lot more cushion and protection - so I'd choose based on that!
Sl or sl2 for sprinters daily training ?
End of 2024 every youtuber will choose SL2 as shoe of the year. Adidas back in the game with a bang.
BANG
Make Boston 12 vs Rebel V4 pleaseee
turned into ghostface on this review. bars
🫡
SL2 vs Invincible 3?
Got my Crocs Mellow Luxe slides on the way
Tried them over the Hoka Ora Luxe and tge Oofos. Best part? $30 😎
Ayyyy great deal too 🙌🏽 you're gonna love them
That white van is the Spring Energy van tryna pawn of that AWESOME SAUCE to unsuspecting Hobby Jogger's.😂
😂😂😂
So you’re the reason I can’t find SL2 my size 😅. Only my size sold out
How wide is the toebox compared to Boston 12?
Beating, pounding, abuse, punishment… it’s provocative, but it gets the people going!
Two opposites: The firmness at the right point and high performance of the LightStrike (Pro or not) of the Adidas models against the unresponsive softness of the FuelCell of the New Balance models. I own the SL1, the Takumi Sen 9 and the Adios Pro versions as well as the New Balance Rebel and Elite V3. Personally, I can't even make a comparison, such is the superiority of the Adidas models. NB only wins in comfort and softness. Whoever seeks this, ok. But those who run aiming for quality training, performance and performance throw money away with these NB midsoles. Unfortunately, such an iconic brand, I believe, due to the success of its 1080 model, which is soft in its high damping proposal, expanded this exaggerated softness to all its models, making them practically inoperative for quality races.
Head up I used your affiliate link for the Sl2, were not in stock. Adidas had 30% too good to pass up.
Yeah it looks like running warehouse isn't selling them yet for some weird reason. Glad you were able to get that adidas discount! I've heard a bunch of ppl got them for $90 which is awesome
Can we get an SL2 vs 860v14? Or is that not a good comparison?
Will add to list and make sure I do in the 100 mile review as well!
Boston 12 vs sl 2 video?
👍
the way you tie shoes tho
I think you said Superblast?
How did he know?!
That van looks shady....
My girlfriend loves the rebel v4 for slow runs....so really depends on the person.
Novablast 4 vs SL2 please!!!
Coming soon - stay tuned!
🤩🤩
How is possible that you have 1000 shoes but you are always out of socks? 🤣
True man my sock to shoe ratio is off 😂
Bro comparing SL2 and Rebel 4, all I hear was how crap the Pegasus41 is 😂
I would be worried about those unmarked vans… they are watching you.
I tried the REBEL V4. Dead midsole.
What is an alive midsole?
New Balance SC trainer V3 same dead midsole.
Reviewer need to let us know which one is better.He is like a parot..
