A Functional Hybrid- Marcello Recommends: The Response by Adidas

Maybe I got lucky, but the young salesman from Dick’s Sporting Goods actually knew what he was talking about and recommended a great sneaker. Did I mention that he was also friendly and not texting his girlfriend during the sale? Like Whitney, I still believe that children are the future and as scary as that notion seems sometimes; we just might be ok.

I told Justin what I wanted… “a sneaker that could handle about 15 miles per week and be worn on the road and the trail… It should also be able to be worn as a cross trainer for my circuit training workouts.” Without hesitation, he showed me the The Response by Adidas and said this is just what you’re looking for. He read about the sneaker in Runner’s World and already had two pair himself.

After six months of workouts and epic mileage in the mountains of Costa Rica, on  the strip in Las Vegas and all over the local country roads of Sussex County, NJ; it’s safe to say that this is one of the most versatile and comfortable pair of sneakers I’ve owned.

p.s Don’t forget the stylistically-hip and functional “no show” socks.

Old school white tubes will seriously throw off your mojo unless you’re going for the Dr. “J” retro vibe.

Have a great workout! -mp
