Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 87.6 / 100 — « adidas struck gold with the EVO SL, and the ATR version feels like a logical move to grow the lineup further. We really liked how the energetic Lightstrike Pro midsole stays unchanged, while the water-repellent upper and upgraded Continental outsole turn it into a solid winter option. We also found that this version is pricier, heavier, and stiffer, but those trade-offs feel reasonable given the added protection and overall upgrades. »
