I own the Legacy lifters and the Adipower 2s and 3s and the Legacys are much better for Olympic lifting or barbell squatting. The toe box is wider in the Legacy lifters which helps with stability (at least for me) and the heel is slightly higher which helps with ankle dorsiflexion for hitting depth easier in squatting movements. I would totally recommend picking up the Legacys especially for this price!
For the current generation, the Reebok's are much better. I bought a pair for my GF and later bought myself a pair of the Adipowers. The Legacy's are solid and supportive, as you expect from a lifting shoe. The Adidas are made of like a ripstop nylon that has way too much give. I kind of hate the gimmicky pump on the Legacy, but it's at least a well made lifter. I returned my Adidas days after they arrived and I'll be jumping on these.
