  • The Running Collective : 71.3 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Adidas Pureboost 23 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Adidas proprietary foam midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €140. »
  • RunRepeat : 68.6 / 100 — « The adidas Pureboost 23 stands out as a versatile option for beginners and casual runners. Its design boasts a highly breathable and top-notch upper, paired with a thin-and-plush midsole, effortlessly transitioning between a running shoe and a trendy sneaker. Despite these positives, we noted the lack of cushioning and a bit of extra weight make it a favorable option mainly for those aiming for shorter, occasional runs. »
