{{DISPLAYTITLE:Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 2 Review}}
The [http://www.adidas.com/us/adizero-takumi-sen-2.0-shoes/M25617.html Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 2] is a Japanese lightweight racing shoe. It is only recently been introduced to the American market, having been previously only available in Japan, and remains a little tricky to get hold of. The name means "An Artisan of The Highest Order," and the shoe does seem to have an unusual design aesthetic. There is no single part of the shoe that is radically different from any other, but the overall impression is of a shoe from a different culture. (This is a little strange given that Adidas is German, not Japanese.) The midsole and the upper of the Takumi Sen are far stiffer than you'd expect for such a light weight shoe (6.3oz). The outsole provides a remarkably high level of grip on asphalt.
