Performance TrainersPerformance Trainers
Performance Trainers provide a springy feel and make longer runs easier and faster runs faster. While quicker than Daily Trainers, Performance Trainers are not nearly as fast as Super Shoes. Due to a focus on keeping things light weight, Performance Trainers are less durable than Daily Trainers. These can also be a good option for one's first race shoe.

Cushioning Level
Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.-
Barefoot
0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
-
Minimal
14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
-
Low
19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
-
Medium
24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
-
High
29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
-
Maximal
35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.
Stability Level
-
Neutral
Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.
-
Stable
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.
Product Details:
If the original adidas adizero Prime X Strung was a rule breaker, then consider the Prime X Strung 2 a rule destroyer. The Prime X Strung 2 features a completely new design to deliver an even more innovative and (more importantly) faster ride than the previous version. While this shoe won't be seen on the feet of the pros at World Athletics sanctioned races due to its many illegal features, it is a fantastic option for the non-pro who wants to experience the most innovative ride that a running shoe can offer.
Starting with the midsole, the Prime X Strung 2 not only features the same mind blowing stack height of 50mm in the heel, but now also features a leaf spring carbon plate that has to be seen to be believed. Strategically placed within the leaf spring plate is an incredibly soft and bouncy foam insert in the forefoot called Energy Core. The combination of 50mm of Lightstrike PRO, the carbon leaf spring plate, and Energy Core results in an incredibly springy and energetic ride that makes running faster and farther easier than ever, making the Prime X Strung 2 an easy choice for long runs, race day, and everything in between.
In the outsole, this shoe features ultra grippy and durable Continental Rubber in the forefoot and a super sticky and incredibly lightweight textile rubber the rest of the way—a combination that works to deliver maximum traction and high performance in any weather condition. Wrapping this shoe up is the hyper-adaptable strung upper that provides more flex and comfort than the previous version.
Overall, the adidas adizero Prime X Strung 2 offers a completely unique look and ride and continues to push the limits of innovation so you can push past your own.
