adidas Adizero Evo SL vs PUMA Deviate Pure NITRO

The adidas Adizero Evo SL and PUMA Deviate Pure NITRO are both lightweight, unplated uptempo trainers, but they take different approaches. The PUMA is lighter and more stable, with a thinner forefoot that absorbs less impact and gives you more ground feel. That makes it feel more controlled and easier to use at relaxed paces, but also less protective up front. The adidas is the more responsive and energetic shoe, with a bouncier ride that feels better suited to uptempo efforts and faster workouts. However, that livelier character can make it feel less settled for easier daily runs.
