For everyone other than possibly Nike, it's not enough to match Nike or be 0.x% better. If the difference isn't much then there's no reason to change for anyone. If they make a step change like Nike did, then they could catapult someone that behind the favourites into the favourites group.

BG - the foam is creased from new so I doubt that’s from wear. I think you’d see something elsewhere on the sole if they’d been worn.

WW, thanks. I had an online chat with them and they confirmed the shoes are new, and that they always send out new pairs. I wonder what they do with the returned pairs?

Who knows! I know I was a bit freaked out by the creased foam the 1st time I bought them.

Lots of Adidas sponsored runners in the Valencia half with the new yellow/lime adiós Pro very prominent. Joseph Cheptegei there as well with Nike's of some sort

I'm watching it as well K5. It'll be interesting to see what happens. The Half looks like it's going to be a very quick time in the mens.

Kandie, the adidas athlete, has just smashed the Half Marathon WR. I thought he'd blown it about 2k out but he had a massive kick in the end.
