Well it snows a little bit but it's not winter anymore and we're not going to ride ski.
Good morning competitive sports friends,
it snows a little bit and you could almost think it is winter.
Right.
We won't ride ski today
instead we going to test shoes,
including the new Romaleos 3xd.
There's going to be a review.
I hope you started great into the new year
and your first squat session went as it was supposed to be!
Awesome!
as already mentioned we go on a test some shoes today!
We will check what The new Nike romaleos 3 xd has to offer optical,
and where are similarities between it and the previous model.
Let's start with a coffee, not only for my circulatory system, but it will wake me up as well!
Let's go.
The first candidate is familiar to everybody The Nike romaleos 2, the most solid one.
Then we continue with the Nike romaleos 3.
The long term test wasn't very convincing!
And finally Our new model the Nike romaleos 3xd.
Wanna hear a funny story about it ?
After the romaleos 3 flopped,
Nike itself made their way from Oregon USA to us, to Leimen.
They asked us what kind of shoe would we like?
Me and my former teammate Almir Velagic,
started explaining how we liked a shoe to look like and especially what it should be capable of.
The romaleos 2 was kind of an idol for it!
But let's talk about the romaleos 3xd.
Since it made its way here, let's make an optical comparison.
I would like to start with The initials model the Nike romaleos 2.
They did so many right things with this shoe.
It is really my favorite. So stable that Cockroaches would survive a nuclear war in them.
The fabric is synthetic leather,but quite thick synthetic leather
That leads to a good stability, those straps are almost unbreakable.
Now matter how much you pull them, they don't get loose.
The tongue of the shoe is thick as well and the whole shoe won't break easy.
The Nike power bridge makes a great sole.
As you can see not flexible at all . Great stability .The Nike power bridge makes a great sole.
Great shoe.
Are used mine for about two years and nothing ever happend. What can you ask more for as a Weightlifter.?
Number 3 came out optical already modified and more fashionable than The previous model !
But it has a few problems with the quality !
It is just Thinner,
and therefore is this polyester plastic mix just too flexible, you can literally bend the whole shoe.
And that's not great for the stability.
There were a few problems with the strap as well,
I often heard that one of the attachments got loose.
That's pretty bad, especially right before a competition.
The thongue is pretty thin, actually just a piece of fabric. Overall pretty unstable!
Regarding the Sole, there is supposed to be the power bridge included, can't see it but it might be hidden.
And even the Sole is flexibel, what might left to the failure of this model.
Maybe you recognized that this shoe is not often worn on international stages.
Let's get to the next model, the Nike romaleos 3xd.
I already wore it once or twice while training,
but how it is often with a new shoe, the feeling is still a bit unusual.
And since I wear orthopedic inlays in my shoes, I just need those fixed first.
So the long term test will start later.
But still regarding the optic,
you see straight away it seems like the romaleos 3's big brother.
Similar optics.
You could say fashionable, or not .
I like it.
The processing is definitely better, more stable
the fabric is synthetic leather again what makes the whole shoe more stable.
The strap got adjusted as well and is supposed to withstand hard pulls better than the previous model.
And the tongue, who pulls the tongue out
makes something wrong anyway.
Overall it seems pretty stable and it is thicker than the number 3.
But what I am a bit unhappy about, is the sole,
I would have wished for the Nike power bridge from the romaleos 2.
Because I made the best experiences with it,
furthermore it never slipped on the stage.
I have a slight feeling this one does, but maybe it just needs to be worn a little first.
End of the day a Shoe I am excited to test.
The heel height similar to the previous model, nothing changed there.
Just if you wanted to ask already. So yes, as already mentioned the long term test will follow.
So yes, as already mentioned the long term test will follow.
And what's important as well, everything that I just said,
is my personal impression.
So don't use it as scientific research: "But Max said......"
It's my impression and I just wanted to share it with you guys.
So who's with me great, who not fine as well.
And finally let me just say, since the romaleos 2 wont get produced any further,
and you asking yourself which to choose ?
I would definitely go for the romaleos 3 xd.
That's because of its similarities to the number 2.
But I heard there are stocks left of the romaleos 2, just available at the German weightlifting shop.
Better be fast an save some for you!
Because as mentioned earlier, they are just my favorites!
So thank you for your attention,
have a great training, hopefully with the right shoe!
If you liked the video, or the review helped you,
thumbs up, if not thumbs up.
Tell your grandparents that there are a few romaleos 2 left,
if not, is there the new romaleos 3xd already available at the German Weightlifting Shop.
They are great to lift !
Ciao! :-)
