adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11 vs Nike Vaporfly 4

The adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11 and Nike Vaporfly 4 are both snappy racers built for shorter-distance speed, but they deliver that speed with a different feel underfoot. The Nike comes in lighter while still keeping a moderate stack, giving it a very quick, responsive sensation that works especially well for 5K and 10K efforts when you want a fast turnover without feeling overly tall. The adidas sits even closer to the ground and uses rods instead of a plate. Both feel very snappy, but the adidas tends to feel more stable and slightly more energetic in how it returns effort.
