The Adizero SL2 is where adidas puts speed into an everyday shoe: LIGHTSTRIKE PRO layered over LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0, an engineered mesh upper and an ADIWEAR outsole. At 207 g it is light for a shoe with a 35 mm stack, which is why adidas pitches it as the go-to for fast daily training.
It suits runners who want one pair for easy miles and the occasional tempo session, and who would rather the shoe stay out of the way than announce itself. The balanced cushioning is neither soft nor harsh, so it stays comfortable from the first mile to the last rep.
It is not a long-run cushion shoe, and it is not a racer. The stack is moderate, so on your longest days you give up some softness in exchange for the low weight and the quicker feel.
