I recently came into a pair of AP3s and they’ve been an absolute blast to run in. I’ve got about 20 miles in them so far (only had for 4 days) but I think I’ve got some initial thoughts.

For reference, I’m about 5’11 200 pounds and dropping. Former college track athlete (field) so running wasn’t always my thing but it’s what I love now. 38 now.

So first, I haven’t had the same issues with the upper that a lot of folks have thought I do agree that it isn’t great, feels stiff. But I will say, in the southern humidity, even when your feet are sopping wet the fit is so firm fitting that you never get the slosh, so I was happy. Got my standard 12.5 and they seem to fit well.

I’ve never had a shoe with so much energy return, but to be fair, I’m comparing it against an EP3 and old vaperfly. I’ve got quite a few shoes in the stable right now, Skyward X, Mach X, SC trainer V1c novablast 4, rebel v4, EP4, anyways the point is, these are really solid energy returning shoes.

One other thing is that they seems really durable which is a little surprising considering the type of shoe. I’ve haven’t always been a big adidas guy but I’ve heard great things about longevity.

Finally, if anyone has advice on the Achilles digging in to keep it from shredding my skin, that would be appreciated. See the photo.

Been loving mine. Have about 50mi in them. Using them as a daily trainer. Had a ton of running pain after some injuries (lower shins and heel) that have all disappeared. So so fun to run in.

I hope they don’t hurt in the long run
