Quote from Bedazzled_Peenus :
Really the only benefit of this new generation of shoes like these, the Nike Vapor/Alphafly, certain Hokas, etc. is to cheat in local small-time races. These new generation of shoes enhance performance, but they make your feet weaker in the process. Do you run to improve yourself, increase your endurance, etc., or do you run to try and impress the soccer moms at your local charity-benefit 10k? Shoes like this are banned in any meaningful competitions. This is like regularly doing your weightlifting session in a room with only 90% gravity... Sure, you'll get better numbers, but does it really mean anything?
These shoes are perfectly legal and will not instantly make you a 6 min mile runner if you can't run a mile in 12 minutes

Has anyone tried them and seen any benefits from them?
I'm not sure what benefits you are looking for. But I run with these shoes and they are super light and responsive. Depending on how fast you currently run, you might shave up to 30 seconds off each mile

People joke around but these really are like cheat codes for running. I would note that they could feel a little unstable at slower paces and might cause you to go out a little faster then you would like. Definitely not an all around shoe but a lot of fun especially at half and full marathon distance. In my experience you will also feel less fatigued after long runs.

I have the Adios Pro 3 and ran 3 half's in them. Not as bouncy as something like aplhafly but still very good.I have pretty wide feet and these are the only non wide race shoe I fit into

These are better than the Pro 3 model. Much softer.

1. The max stack height for most major road races is 40mm. The stack height for this shoe is 39mm. Adidas wants people to see elite runners wearing this shoe in top marathons, and no elite runner would risk a disqualification by wearing a banned model of shoe, so Adidas wouldn't waste R&D resources to make a banned supershoe.

2. If wearing these shoes would help me impress local soccer moms, I'd be all over it.

3. There's a lot of research on stack height, drop, energy return, etc. I'm not an expert, but I've listened to most of the back episodes of the Doctors of Running podcast, and your claim that these weaken doesn't sound entirely consistent with their analysis of the research. To summarize, a high stack can have a detrimental effect, including increased risk of injury, but I've never heard them say anything about weachieve. It can disproportionately strengthen some areas over others, which is one of several reasons they collectively recommend a good rotation of shoe profiles, including lower drops/stacks mixed in with the clown shoes that are popular today.

I would have a hard time paying that much for sneakers, but RunRepeat gives it a 93%, which is one of the highest scores I've seen. "The AP4 offers enhanced energy return, a lighter construction, and plush foam that feels incredible underfoot."I've run in New Balance, Adidas and Nike and I'm finding I like the Adidas a little bit better than the other shoes of late.
Unfortunately I developed tendonitis and was recommended to get NB 990V6 at $200. There really is a difference and with two cortisone shots, I'm finally feeling better. Construction matters to many of us. For me, no more slip on.

The foam on these gives a sinking feeling, which I did not like at all.

The hoka cielo x1 2.0 are way more bouncy and -fun- to run in.

That's what I went with after running in both side-by-side.

Pretty damn good deal if you're in the market for a high-end racing shoe that can be used for intervals and tempos.

I have a 25% off voucher in my adiclub, but I cannot get it to apply to these shoes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried multiple browsers and private mode.

The 25% off voucher for Adiclub level 1 to level 2 does not work for me. Try other vouchers

Thumbs up for the reference to weight lifting in 90% gravity rooms.
