Qiaodan Wind SL
Qiaodan Wind SL: building consensus — a public grade is not available yet; synthesized so far from 5 reviews across 2 creators, freshest review Sep 11, 2026.
TL;DR
A strong budget-friendly option in the lightweight-trainer category. Both reviewers agree it delivers surprising protection and bounce at a sub‑200 g weight and ~$70 price. Worth considering if you want an Adios 9–adjacent ride with a more generous upper.

Evidence is still building

What reviewers said
- Runnertia calls it a "banger" that is protective, bouncy, and surprisingly easy to get along with despite riding like a much taller shoe.
- jogoncrago praises the plush feel from the 5 mm super-critical insole and notes the ride is nearly identical to an adidas Adios 9, but with a much more roomy upper.
- The only potential shortcoming flagged is the upper difference versus the Adios 9 — jogoncrago notes the upper is the main point of differentiation and is definitely much roomier, which could be a downside for those who prefer a snug fit.
- No reviewers described any outright dealbreakers.

jogoncrago
“That is the Shox Wind SL. I've had it for a little bit now, but I wanted to take it out, do a dedicated run video for it... In terms of the specs on this one, I have seen it listed as a 25 mil stack with a 6 mm drop down to 19 in the forefoot... they've got a 5 mm thick super critical insole, which is here, and it does actually feel noticeably plush... In terms of the mid-sole foam, they're listing it as a super critical TPU... it's going to be very, very close to this, which is around that 195 g mark, 200 g mark... $70 delivered to Australia”
