<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\nWhen it comes to performance battle between the Adipower vs Romaleos, the Adidas Adipower<\/a> has ruled the roost due to, among other things, its incredibly durable yet lightweight construction, its breathability, and rock-solid base.<\/strong> You won’t find them of much use in the CrossFit box, but there are other shoes for that. This shoe is for Olympic lifting and it does that job brilliantly.<\/strong> It fits you like a glove and performs like the beast it is. Key features include:<\/p>\n\n- Top of the line comfort<\/li>\n
- Incredible attention to detail<\/li>\n
- Won’t lose structural integrity over time<\/li>\n
- Noticeably improved ventilation over Adistar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Nike Romaleos 2<\/a><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
The original Romaleos was designed for the 2008 Olympics where it took center stage by helping the Chinese team dominate the WL medals count.<\/strong> Its offspring, the Romaleos 2<\/a>, has been with us for a couple of years now and is a very worthy successor to its famous progenitor. With the Romaleos you’ll enjoy ironclad stability, remarkable flexibility when needed and the luxury of a changeable insole.<\/strong> Other features include:<\/p>\n ![\"Nike](\"https:\/\/garagegymbuilder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/514L67TjUQL._UY625_-3.jpg\" "\\"Nike")
<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n\n- First-rate design<\/li>\n
- Dual lockdown metatarsal straps<\/li>\n
- TPU heel counter for added stability<\/li>\n
- A high degree of customization available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One more advantage of the Romaleos in the Adipower vs Romaleos battle is the wider toe box<\/strong> which is something a lot of lifters either need to accommodate their wider feet or want to accommodate the foot’s natural tendency to splay under heavy loads.<\/strong><\/p>\nClick here to read our latest review of Nike Romaleo 3<\/a>, one of the best value pair<\/strong> that you can get for your Crossfit training gear.<\/p>\nNike Romaleos vs. Adipower: Head to Head Comparison<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Best Value<\/h3>\n
In the case of Nike Romaleos vs. Adidas Adipower both of which tip the scales around the $200 mark<\/strong> and both of which are among the best weightlifting shoes<\/strong> you can buy, value is a relative term. The bottom line is they’ll both improve your lifting,<\/strong> both make lifting a more enjoyable sport for you and both last a long time. If that’s not value we don’t know what is.<\/p>\nWinner: Draw<\/h3>\n

<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\nStyle Versatility<\/h3>\n
The Adipower vs Romaleos are both great looking shoes<\/strong> but what really separates them from the competition is the attention to detail.<\/strong> No loose threads or glue smears here. No misaligned eyelets or frayed edges.<\/strong> Both shoes are put together like high-performance race cars. That said the Romaleos 2 has a distinct advantage when it comes to styling options<\/strong> and to be honest it’s not even close.<\/p>\nWinner:<\/h3>\n

<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\nPerformance<\/h3>\n
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we’ll say again that the difference between these shoes, Adipower vs Romaleos, is so small as to be almost negligible.<\/strong> That said, the Romaleos, with its wider toe box, is a bit more comfortable <\/strong>during the lift and the fact that it’s a tiny bit heavier<\/strong> than the Adipower provides a slightly greater feeling of stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\nWinner:<\/h3>\n

<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\nTrying to pick a winner when it comes to Adipower vs. Romaleos is like trying to pick a winner between a Bentley and a Rolls. To a great degree, it’s a matter of taste. For our taste, the Romaleos has the clear advantage in styling and a tiny advantage in performance which when combined with the slightly more attractive price point (and we mean slightly) makes it our winner in this heavyweight competition.<\/p>\n
