Expert Review Sources

  • Solereview : 78.5 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Adidas Response 2 delivers progressive forefoot flex and evenly distributed Adidas proprietary foam compression on the mechanical test bench. A smart choice for runners looking for a 10.5 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 78.6 / 100 — « The adidas Response 2 surprised us with how comfortable a budget shoe can feel. We found in the lab that its soft midsole, generous cushioning, and broad platform create an ideal setup for everyday running. We also really liked the roomy fit, especially for those who often struggle with narrow shoes. However, the shoe feels far from fast, and its rigid construction won't suit everyone. In our view, it performs best when the goal is simple: easy miles, steady comfort, and keeping your spending under control. »
  • Runagora : 76.9 / 100 — « In Adidas's daily trainer lineup, the Response 2 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (298 g, a 10.5 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 10.5 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
