Critic consensus
from 6 reviewsThe Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11 improves on its predecessor with a softer, bouncier ride while keeping its signature agility and ground feel. Its snappy Energy Rods and durable, grippy outsole make it an efficient tool for quick paces. It is best suited for runners seeking an agile, low-profile racer for 5K to 10K competitions and fast interval sessions.

It's a rocket of a shoe, but its price point and narrower fit make it more suited for enthusiasts or those who can find it at a discount.

A refreshing evolution filling a unique niche for runners seeking a fast, responsive, and stable racing shoe without the extremely high stack.

The Takumi Sen 11 remains a perennial favorite, returning to the essence of the old Takumi Sen experience.
