The Superblast works as a great training and workout shoe, whereas the Prime X Strung can be a daily trainer but leans far more in the aggressive workout and racing category of shoes. The material underfoot is bouncer in the Prime X, but is better balanced in the Superblast. The Superblast continues to be a lighter shoe, although not by much. The ride is far stiffer in the Prime X and stays that way, whereas the Superblast tends to break in and transition nicely. While both feature somewhat similar stack heights, the Superblast is far more stable while the Prime X is absolutely not. Those that want maximum protection, no stability and an incredibly light weight for such a massive shoe for daily training, workouts and long-distance racing at a non-elite level should check out this shoe if money is no objection.īased on weight and stack height, the ASICS Superblast is the most similar shoe on the market to the Prime X Strung. An aggressively tall stack height and narrow width create a shoe that works best when you are moving forward with zero ground feel and a stiff but highly bouncy transition. A new 3D printed Strung upper provides increased security at the heel while a slightly long fit provides a surprising amount of width up front. The Adidas Adizero Prime X Strung is a super stack training/racing shoe for those who want a massive amount of shoe underfoot, Energy Rods, Energy Blades and a lightweight upper 3D printed upper. While it does achieve this, this continues to be a highly unstable, super stack training/workout shoe that comes at a steep cost. The Adidas Prime X Strung is primarily an upper update with a new 3D printed fiber woven strung upper that is supposed to provide unique security to the runner's feet. There are many people who have enjoyed this shoe as a super stack training/workout/racing shoe (among the non-elite). The challenge with the shoes is that they were so inherently unstable that people were either too scared to wear them (ankle roll/fracture) or they were not appropriate. Heads certainly turned and ankles were also rolled in the process wearing this shoe. Debuting with a 50mm stack height in the heel, Adidas was clear on its intention to make a World Athletics illegal race shoe and to get something so outrageous on the market that it would turn heads. The Prime X series have continued to be insane shoes. Adidas Adizero Prime X Strung Review: Insane in the Membrane
