No, it is neither new (Skechers was selling Shape Ups as far back as 16 years ago) nor entirely normal – although a lot of running shoes have adopted a rockered geometry, not nearly to the extreme of these decidedly walking shoes; Nike has the Motiva which is pretty similar – both of which adopt an aggressive rocker to promote fluid motion from heel to toe-off, at the expense of balance while standing (which is what Skechers promoted as a health benefit, over which they were sued – and lost).
Ironically, it is New Balance that (IMO) has struck the balance perfectly with their Balos – it's flat-enough on the bottom to be able to balance effortlessly while standing, but rockered-enough on both heel and toe-off to effectively replicate the experience of those other shoes; too bad it has next-to-no outsole (only the tip of the toes and a lateral slice of the heel have rubber, the rest is "rubberized" foam) – on a $200(!) shoe, so it's likely to wear through pretty quickly.
Rip. This is a scam site. Hopefully you can contact your payment processor and get your money back because I can guarantee you won't get a pair of shoes.
I don't know why you are blatantly lying and making this up, but Simon owns a ton of malls and outlets throughout the states. They are legit.
Is running in these really as bad as the Reddit threads that review them? I don't have legit running shoes, but thinking of getting a 'better' shoe for walking/running and possibly half marathons, that don't cost >60 dollars.

SL2 for similar price is a much better choice for running. Just picked up my second pair.

I second what the other poster said. Do NOT get these for running. The extreme rocker shape is for walking and will feel awful in a run, especially a marathon. The adizero SL2 is fantastic and has had many sales for similar price. The supernova rise 2 can also sometimes be had for $40-$60 and are great as well.
Umm, whoever the people are who say this is a scam site are misinformed. The parent company is Simon Property Group and they're a publicly traded company with a $55B market cap. Definitely not going to scam you on a pair of Adidas. They have malls near me and I've ordered from a few times.
This site is not legit. They're selling shoes for 80 percent off and the site has a 2.6 on trust pilot with only 1 review. Yall are getting scammed please report to an admin? Thanks
I bought a bunch adidas stuff to weeks ago, they shipped from adidas directly.
I have an issue with the third metatarsal that causes pain in the ball of my foot. I generally walk 5 miles per day. The best walking shoes I've had in past years were the Skechers shape up because of the way the design controlled the landing of the ball of the foot. Of course those haven't been available for years now. I am hoping this is a suitable replacement. We shall see.
