adidas Adizero Evo SL
Kiprun Kipstorm Challenger
The adidas Adizero Evo SL and Kiprun Kipstorm Challenger are both versatile performance shoes, but they suit different use cases. The adidas is the non-plated option, with enough range for daily mileage and faster training, and it flourishes during tempo workouts. The Kiprun is the more aggressive shoe overall, coming in much lighter, featuring a carbon plate and a more energetic, propulsive ride. You'll likely prefer the adidas if you want a lively shoe that sits closer to a daily trainer, whereas the Kiprun is the better pick if you want an accessible plated performance shoe that can handle everything from workouts to racing.
