The Adidas Response TR X is the latest 10th generation of the Response trail running trainers. I haven't had a pair of trainers since I've been mostly confined to the office since I started working here and trainers are not exactly considered proper corporate wear. I was looking around in the adidas store in Mid Valley Megamall and saw the adidas_1 which I fell in love with. Unfortunately, they only have one pair left and it's a size 9 (I'm a size 8 for UK and 8 1/2 for US). That, and it costs RM 950 for a pair. ;)
Thus, I settled for the other pair that I liked - the adidas Response TR X. I like low water absorption fabrics since I walk through water all the time and that discounts the ClimaCool series as that range has holes at the bottom. This is very unpractical for me, since water would get into it and I hate getting water into my trainers. It happens all the time as I walk through puddles instead of over it and we get a lot of rain here in Malaysia.
Anyway, this is the 10th generation of the Adidas Response TR series. I like the aggressive red stripes down the side but I couldn't care less about the 3D TORSION SYSTEM for mid-foot integrity and stability, TRAXION for maximizing grip, adiPRENE+ for a more efficient push off, or adiPRENE for impact protection. OK, maybe the last one would be good since there's a lot of used syringes and broken glass in my room. I'm kidding, btw.
There's even literature attached to the trainers detailing each of the previous 9 generations of the adidas Response TR series, with photos of each series and what features were added to each generation of the trainers.
I've worn the shoes for a couple of days and I like it a lot...it's a great pair of trainers.
Heck, the Adidas Response Trail X even has spoilers at the back. (!)
