Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 88.3 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 12.9 mm drop and weighing 318 g, the Adidas Racer TR21 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 €150. »
  • Runagora : 89.8 / 100 — « Pairing Adidas's Adidas proprietary foam platform with a 12.9 mm drop, the Racer TR21 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 65.5 / 100 — « The adidas Racer TR21 doesn't quite match the expectations set by its name. It isn't quite a racing shoe, but rather a hybrid between a comfortable everyday sneaker and a heavy running shoe. Affordable and flexible, this shoe is crafted with the beginner in mind, making it perfect for low-intensity jogs or walks in the park. However, we think if you're in the market for a genuine racing shoe or if you're a midfoot or forefoot striker, this may not be the ideal fit. »
