Adidas has come up with a material they call adiPRENE which they claim has superior cushioning properties.

Anybody have any experience with these. I guess I have to main concerns: 1) I'm inherently skeptical of new shoe technology, and 2) do I really want to conserve energy while running? Aren't I supposed to be getting a workout. If I wanted to get somewhere fast, I would drive.

There is nothing new about adiprene. It has been used as a component in various types of sports gear for decades. Shoe midsole technology is generally intended to absorb shock which is the primary concern of most runners. I'm not sure that I want to feel like a superball when I'm running. Still if the Mega- "bounce" is just mega-HYPE, but the shock absoption is superior....then why not?

Good points, SJ. I do think there is some mega-HYPE going on. I think I'll try these out next time I'm at a shoe store.

I just got these shoes and they are hella comfortable!! I feel like I can fly. They're all synthetic, which I know all running shoes are, but I feel a little like theres a hunk of plastic strapped to my feet. That said, I love them so far, I hope they break in and don't fall apart when I go running. At any rate I've been wearing diesels and these feel f'n great.
