5/5

Overall

I really liked the increase in durability from the glide 5 to the glide 7. I used to have an issue with Adidas shoes but it seems like they have really stepped up their game.

Overall

Very cushiony, bouncy. Like a lot. Put decent mileage on it, very comfortable yet supportive and light. Mix in with Mizuno wave rider 18s, which was my go-to model before switching to adidas (school is adidas sponsored, but we can wear w/e shoes we want).
