Durability is a major concern. While some reviewers report the shoe lasting over 80 km with little visible wear and even up to 300 miles for shorter races, others experienced outsole separation after only 10 miles. Adidas markets the shoe as optimized for a single marathon, and consensus is that longevity is poor for the $500 price point.
