Adidas Adistar 3 First Run Review

The Adidas Adistar 3 is a cushioned everyday running shoe designed to offer a comfortable and versatile ride. Priced at $130, it's an entry-level option that competes with shoes like the Hoka Rincon ($125), New Balance Propel v5 ($120) and Adidas' own Adizero SL2 ($130). In this video, I give an overview of the Adistar 3, put it through measurements in the lab and then take it for some miles and let you know my thoughts.
