Adizero TS9 - flies

Overall
Shoe is feather light on feet and the feet come up easier than running barefoot, but feels so natural. Those rods make the difference over a plate. Feels so much more casual and like a flat and unaggressive but blows some "aggressive" shoes out of the water

My Swiss Army shoe

Overall
Love the Sens. Lightweight, well cushioned, and responsive. There is a 50 -100k break in period. I would like to see them use cellar mesh on subsequent models and maybe reduce the harder parts in the upper ( where the tongue and bottom of lace area are stitched, and eliminating the rubber-ish stuff at the top of the tongue). I love that I can use them for anything.

Overall
Bought in Japan for half the UK price. All white colour, lovely looking shoe.
Just makes you want to run, and then run fast. So light. A bit of a struggle initially to find the perfect lock down and try on, but once perfected it's just exciting to put them on your feet and get out of the door and run. The upper is superb, breathable but durable and so easy to clean, the heel tab useful for fitting on and off, and laces just right for the shoe. The midsole perfect mix of cushion and response. Honestly I wish I could wear these for every run, but in reality they are probably great for up to 10 miles unless you're an elite runner. You'll hit PB's in this shoe almost guaranteed. Adidas you've brought me back into the field, eager to see what else there is?
