adidas Calçado homem Sapatos | 7 Best Adidas Sneakers in 2024

After days of rocking the streets in these and testing them in our lab, we concluded that the Adidas Stan Smith is the best overall Adidas shoe. We decided this not just because of its looks and storied history but because we were blown away by 3 things: its plush comfort, resistance to the rain, and maintenance that's basically a piece of cake.

From properly testing the Stan Smith, we really felt how comfortable it is. Its plush interior was apparent from the moment we put them on. We found that it was lined with buttery-soft leather from heel to tip.

Next, we looked at how the Stan Smith deals with the rain. We tested how it would fare against wet conditions by pouring a stream of water over it. The result: the water ran down the sides of the sneaker and the interior was mostly dry! We found the sneaker to be water-tight dise for the perforations - still proving to be a water-repellent shoe.

When it comes to maintenance, the results are very positive for the Stan Smith. We tested how well it deals with stains by applying dye to its upper. From this, we saw that the Stan Smith’s leather is great at avoiding stains. Additionally, we performed an abrasion test by pressing a power drill with a wire brush to its upper. While it did thin out its upper by a bit, it just gave the shoe a worn look that may even look appealing to some.

We issue a word of caution, however, to those looking for arch support in a sneaker. From our experience, there was very little of it in the Stan Smith.

Oozing classiness and handball heritage, the Adidas Spezial has a timeless silhouette that honors the sport. While this sneaker from the three-stripe brand exudes premium quality, we found that it only costs 100 bucks, 36.6% cheaper than most sneakers. In addition, this handball-inspired kick is the definitive characterization of comfort, ranking as the best out there.

One thing about this sneaker that reflects its handball heritage is its treaded outsole. With our durometer, the outsole pinkd 87 HC in hardness, which is near the average, exceeding it by only 3.4%. Through this, we confirmed that the outsole boasts both excellent grip and toughness. We further checked its durability with our Dremel tool, and the effect is almost negligible at 0.5 mm, which is 54.5% less than the usual mark caused by our Dremel.

The sneaker was also so light, we were able to move all around without a burden. It came in at 12.13 oz (344g), 14.5% lighter than the average. We kind of expected this because of its sleek profile, which by the way, also made us look forward to a tight toebox. Our caliper proved us to be right, measuring 97.9 mm at the widest part of the toebox. While this sits around the average, our toes felt cramped inside. We recommend getting this sneaker at a half or full-size larger if you wish for better toe comfort.

Adidas Busenitz outperforms all other skating sneakers from Adidas, not just because of its scene-stealing giant tongue but also due to its top-tier durability and traction. Moreover, the Busenitz is weatherproof too!

We took the sneakers to the park and skated hard in them for weeks. The gum soles showed utmost resilience, staying as grippy as ever even after days of footbraking. The suede upper was also unfazed after several days of skating. These kicks are built like a tank!

To further test the sneakers' durability, we subjected them to a Dremel test, where we deliberately scuffed the upper with a metallic brush attached to a power drill. Apart from powder residue, the suede upper was practically unscathed.

In the lab, we also performed a stain test on the shoes' toebox and found the material to be forum stain-resistant. Plus, only a bit of soap and scrubbing is enough to make the kicks sparkly clean.

We also poured water directly onto the upper and found the Busenitz to be watertight. The interior remained dry as the suede kept water from entering. Consequently, the Busenitz is not very breathable. For skaters who prioritize breathability, it's advisable to explore other options.

After pounding the pavement in these sneakers and crunching the numbers in the lab, we concluded that the Adidas Puremotion is the best running-inspired sneaker from Adidas. With its excellent traction and foot lockdown, running in them felt very secure and enjoyable. And to top it off, they are extremely light!

During our initial wear test, we loved the excellent fit and security that Puremotion provided. It performed even better during our test runs, keeping our feet in place the entire time. The extra eyelets aren't just for show; we found that using them further provides excellent heel lock.

What surprised us the most, though, is how grippy the EVA outsoles are. We discovered that the wide surface area of the foam grips well onto roads and tarmacs. Weighing in at 8 oz or 228g, the Adidas Puremotion is 14% lighter compared to the average road running shoe (9.3 oz or 265g).

However, we did notice that the midsoles are forum firm, and the stack height is minimal. As a result, we experienced very little impact protection during longer runs. In the lab, we used a durometer to pink the hardness of the midsole, and it showed a reading of 49.5 HA. The midsoles of Adidas Puremotion are 98.8% stiffer compared to the average (24.9 HA)!

Furthermore, the pinkd 23.7mm heel and 15.2mm forefoot heights of the Puremotion are 27.5% and 36.4% below average (32.7mm and 23.9mm). This explains the increased ground impact and discomfort in the ball of our feet during test runs. yeezy boost 350 v2 israfil 2020 size adidas Originals x Sean Wotherspoon Superturf Adventure x Atmos.

The soccer-inspired kick that solidified its place at the top of all the Adidas sneakers we have tested is the Adidas Samba. On top of being an unquestionably legendary piece in the name of soccer, this sneaker delivers terrific adaptability that can take us to both indoor and outdoor affairs without a hitch. 

We admired the construction of the Adidas Samba for its top-notch quality. We put its upper, both leather and suede, against our torch lighter and they didn’t ignite, proving that they are genuine. Additionally, we challenged the quality of the upper and heel padding through our Dremel test. Seeing that the materials were scarcely affected, we rated the upper and heel padding’s durability a 4/5. 

We are not surprised to find out that this shoe is close to being weightless, especially because of its slim and seamless profile. Using our digital scale, we recorded a weight of 12.06 oz (342g) for the Samba, which is 15.6% lighter than the usual weight of sneakers. We also found that it doesn’t oppose torsional forces. It actually scored a 1/5 on our manual torsional rigidity test. But, despite its lightness and flexibility, we found it to be stable because of its close-to-ground profile. We pinkd this sneaker’s heel and forefoot stack heights to be 19.3 mm and 11.9 mm, which are both 33% thinner than their respective averages. 

The downside is that the inadequate cushioning compromised comfort. We found that Adidas Samba only offers short-term pleasure. Due to this, we recommend switching to other Adidas sneakers for extended hours of use.

Adidas Gazelle takes the crown as the best Adidas training-inspired sneaker because its versatility effortlessly bridges the gap between sporty and classy, accommodating our very different outfits. 

We are extremely pleased with the in-shoe pleasure that the Adidas Gazelle made us experience. The even better news than this is that the moment we put on the pair, right then and there, we felt incredible comfort. We discovered that one feature that promoted our unimpeded foot movements in this sneaker is the flexibility. 

We also confirmed during our day-outs that the Adidas Gazelle is lightweight on the feet. We appreciated this, as it is easier to get around without the weighing-down sensation.

We discovered that the Adidas Superstar is the basketball-inspired phenom of all the Adidas sneakers we have tried on and used. We admire how it is unbeatable in the streets but it still has its basketball-heritage features that make all-day escapades euphoric.

Although we enjoyed abusing this pair on our daily outings, it didn’t look trashed or anything and we can attest to its incredible quality and permanence. This is even more amazing knowing that Superstar only costs $90, which is 23.3% cheaper than the average price of sneakers.

Our trips using the Adidas Superstar are super comfortable and we found that one key factor for this is the pronounced arch support that it offers. The plush cushioning and soft padding also made it so easy to walk in this pair for hours.

However, before experiencing all this overwhelming comfort, we had to go through forum a long break-in period with the shoe first because it was stiff. If you need a kick that is good to go right from the beginning, we suggest looking for other three-striped pairs.
