When it comes to running shoes, adidas is a brand that needs no introduction. They’ve been a staple in the running community for years, consistently delivering top-notch performance and style in the form of women’s and men’s running shoes. See our posts on adidas! Adizero Boston 12 adidas running shoes have long been a trusted companion for runners of all levels, and the Adizero Boston 12 Running Shoes continues to uphold this legacy. While we didn’t personally try…
As the summer sun begins to set and the calendar turns to September, sports fans around the world can’t help but feel the excitement in the air. After a long summer dominated by baseball (a favorite sport for many), the arrival of September brings a wave of other sports to look forward to – college football, pro football, hockey, and basketball. See our posts on adidas! While many of us are passionate runners, and consider…
Even as self-proclaimed runners, in a region that seems to be grey more often than sunny, a good set of eyeglasses is a necessity. Good for reducing glare, easing visibility and protecting the eyes from unwary bugs, they definitely get some use in all seasons. We have been trying out several pairs from Adidas over the past month or so. Adidas Sport 0076 Adidas has long been synonymous with merging cutting-edge style and optimal functionality,…
Over the past few years, my kids continually see boxes of running shoes adorning our patio on a relatively frequent basis. It is a perk of owning a running blog I suppose. They get a little jealous, but I tell them they can focus on their literature skills and then come write for me and perhaps get some shoes of their own (ha!). However, it is officially back-to-school time and thus, three growing girls need…
Back in the day, when I was a kid growing up, adidas was the go-to brand for soccer in my neighborhood. You weren’t really a soccer player in my neighborhood if you weren’t rocking the iconic three stripes on the pitch. I couldn’t help but associate adidas with the beautiful game. As a baseball player, I never really found myself venturing into the adidas world all that often. Fast forward to a decade ago or…
I recently got my hands on the Adidas Ultraboost Light, and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with them. The Ultraboost name, and accompanying style, is iconic. I haven’t ran in many Adidas shoes, so was very interested to try them out as a daily trainer. See all our reviews on Adidas Here! Looks: Unsurprisingly, the Ultraboost Light is sleek and stylish, with a modern design that really catches the eye. I particularly love…
My first impression of the latest Adidas Sport Sunglasses – called the CMPT 54 – was the weight, or rather, the lack thereof. Glasses are fairly light in general, but this was a feature to note. It was definitely obvious when worn, as the normal feeling of pressure at the temples and bridge of the nose were nearly nonexistent. Even when running for an hour, they were comfortable and stable. I’ll chalk that up to…
It may have been only 27*F on the morning of this year’s Foot Traffic Holiday Half and 5k, but that didn’t deter the more than 3,000 participants who were making their way to the Adidas campus in North Portland for the 8am race start. Since there is very little street parking available near the start line, Foot Traffic gets permission to use the Daimler parking lot on Channel Ave and then runs shuttle buses from…
I’m one of those people who can buy a pair of sunglasses and not lose them within two months. I was very happy with my previous pair of sunglasses, until one of the snap-in lenses broke and the company was no longer making those lenses. (I did have them for more than 10 years, but they were about $180, so …) Since that happened nearly 2 years ago, I’ve tried on countless pairs, and bought a…
Nobody needs to tell you about Portland’s Shamrock Run. This March staple is now in its 38th running and routinely sells out with upwards of 40,000 people. BUT what you may need to be reminded on is that on January 15, 2016, fees will increase! The half marathon is new to the scene and race fees increased, so registering early will save you some hard-earned cash. Also be reminded to run as a team to save yourself…
