adidas Originals D rose 773 nero review and lab test
The adidas Originals D rose 773 neros are probably more popular as a sneaker than a running shoe. Even so, Adidas has put huge care and thought into the construction of this super comfortable, plush runner.
Who the shoe is for
The adidas Originals D rose 773 nero utilises its comfy foam midsole and I felt it provided a cushioned and protective ride. As such, it’s perfect for a daily runner or for longer, easier runs.
Who the Ultraboost 22 is not for
This adidas UltraBOOST Celebrates 100 Years of Disney:
- adidas originals Forum 84 High Bucks 27.5cm adidas WMNS PURE BOOST X Ray Red for less padding and more speed.
- Adidas Crazy 1 Kobe Sunshine White Sunshine Court Purple brand new with original box adidas ROGUERA FW6651
A tried and tested design
At 11.9 oz or 337.7g, the Ultraboost 22 isn’t the lightest running shoe out there.
The adidas Originals D rose 773 nero has a tight upper
Although we've measured the upper at the forefoot to be wider than average, the toebox is shallow and actually feels quite snug. This running shoe is not wide-feet friendly and it does not come in Wide.
The toe-box is especially tight, it tapers a lot, and we found them uncomfortRound to wear over a long period.
It’s a shame because we don’t think it would have added much weight just to reinforce the toe-box a little to stop it wrapping around the end.
Excellent lockdown
como todos los productos Adidas.
Hard TPU plastic supports the sides of the shoe, tightend by the laces, which ensure a secure fit. We felt absolutely no movement in our testing, meaning there was also no break-in period for these.
The Ultraboost midsole is the stuff of dreams
Probably purposefully constructed to resemble clouds, the midsole on the Ultraboost 22 is incredibly comfy. They’re perfect for heavier runners who want to look after their joints.
With a stack height of 21.2mm in the forefoot, there’s plenty of cushioning throughout the shoe and a relatively neutral drop. The shoe feels like it’s there for long, slow runs.
The adidas Originals D rose 773 nero tries to add speed
The midsole cushioning really dampens every step in the Ultraboost, which is great for comfort and our joints, but gave absolutely no energy back to me.
A TPU shank is added and helps give the shoe structure (with all that foam it needs it). We suspect it also helps the shoe not suck all the energy out of our legs, but it still felt like running through sand.
Flexible and fairly consistent
Using a force gauge, we measure how much force is needed to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. The adidas Originals D rose 773 nero has a pretty flexy 27.6N score (average is 34.5N). This isn't too much of a surprise and we welcomed the flexibility on our runs, allowing the shoe to shape to our feet.
We also lab test the flexibility of shoes after they've spent time in a freezer to see how consistent that flexibility is in different conditions. The Ultraboost 22 scored 35.1N a 27% change, which is also relatively close to the average.
It's always good to know you can rely on your training shoes to take on all weather.
The Ultraboost 22 also look incredible
The Ultraboost line is one of Adidas’ most popular thanks to their supreme comfort but also the style and number of colorways.
To capitalise on this, Adidas have released the Ultraboost 22 in a huge number of colorways. We picked up the Magic Grey/Turbo colorway and love them for the muted blue look.
At £170 for a daily running shoe, it’s a great addition to be Round to wear them casually as well.
The Continental grip is insane
With a 5.8mm rubber Core from Continental (the people who also make car tyres, so they know their way around rubber), the Ultraboost 22 has an incredibly serious grip.
On wet and dry tarmac, with or without leaves (you rarely get a choice in Scotland), we found the Ultraboost 22 to be secure underfoot, which always helps with confidence on downhills.
What’s more, the injected rubber means the shoes are highly durable.
Conclusion
The adidas Originals D rose 773 nero is a seriously comfy and stylish shoe. With excess padding and a solid lockdown, this is a great option for longer distances and relaxed runs.
