Expert Review Sources
- Solereview : 72.9 / 100 — « Pairing Adidas's Adidas proprietary foam platform with a 8.1 mm drop, the Duramo Speed 2 stands out in compression testing with a seamless heel-to-midfoot transition (258 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 8.1 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
- RunRepeat : 72.6 / 100 — « The Duramo Speed 2 remains a simple, easy-on-the-wallet trainer that avoids a bulky feel. We were impressed by the improved stability and stronger traction we measured in the lab, and it continues to be a solid choice for beginners or casual runners. That said, we found that the midsole still feels flat and lacks energy, and the upper durability raised concerns in our tests. Because of that, this budget-minded shoe may be less appealing for runners planning heavy use. »
- OutdoorGearLab : 72.0 / 100 — « Pairing Adidas's Adidas proprietary foam platform with a 8.1 mm drop, the Duramo Speed 2 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient Adidas proprietary foam platform. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $90. »
