Back in 2024, I went to Germany to visit the Adidas HQ. And in the basement, next door to the archives, that’s where Adidas had me blind test a new midsole compound for three different shoes. One was not good. The second was ok. And the third, I thought it was just right, and I tried to take it home. They told me it wasn’t ready, but when it was, I’d be one of the first to try it. Fast forward almost two years, and now it’s here. This is the Adidas Hyperboost Edge, and it’s finally time to take it for a run

Disclosures: this is a pair of shoes that was sent to me for the purpose of review, so I did not have to pay for them. No one is paying me to make this video or to include their brand in this video. No one had a chance to preview any of my footage or my thoughts before this video went up on YouTube.
Additional disclosures: at the time that this video publishes, I will be on location with Adidas at a launch event for this shoe. The video that I make for that launch event will be a paid collaboration
