Crafted with Adidas' innovative technology, the Prime X 2 Strung pushes the level of racing shoes to a new world. Combining a Strung upper, 3 layers of Lightstrike Pro, and two carbon-infused core plates results in this super bouncy trampoline-like Prime X 2.

The innovative use of 3 layers of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO, stacked at 50mm height with an energy core between two foam layers, reduces weight and offers enhanced spring in the fore- and midfoot. The outsole, equipped with Continental compound, ensures exceptional grip on various surfaces.

Absolutely versatile, the Prime X 2 is designed to support your workouts, alleviate leg strain, enhance comfort on long runs, and extend your distances effortlessly. It's an extra cushioned yet responsive trainer - whether for your local 5k to your marathon PB, or simply the long cruisy miles in your weekly routine.

Not too sure what to

"Not too sure what to make of these shoes. I guess I was expecting more. They are super cushioned, however I would not consider them a super shoe. Solid trainer that provide a lot of protection, maybe save them for long runs? I just don't know where they fit in."

— PHILIP S. (3/5)

Masters racer

"A road racing shoe illegal for everyone except masters athletes. If you’re a masters athlete and you are not wearing the Prime X 2 Strung in road races, you’re being a fool to yourself and a burden to others."

— Wayne C. (5/5)

Faulty Shoes

"One of the shoes makes a loud clicking noise, which started after 9km. I have reached out 4 times to have them replaced with no response."

— Jake W. (1/5)
