Nike Air Rift vs Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia Review

I'm back again to review two similar sneakers (in my opinion). This time it comes from two different brands but in some way look pretty similar. However, both have beauty in different way. They are Nike Air Rift and a new comer Adidas Stellasport Zilia.

Both are unisex but I think Adidas makes it more intended to women's shoes. In my opinion both are really cute. I owned the Nike Air Rift for almost a year and I just bought the Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia last week (after struggling two months shop hops all around Southern Taiwan Adidas stores, and ended up ordered it directly from friend in Japan). For your information, the shipment from Japan to Taiwan is really quick. It only takes 2-3 working days until the package sent right in front of your door. Well now, let's compare these two cuties.

Materials

Nike Air Rift: Mesh, textile and synthetic upper
Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia: Mesh, textile, synthetic upper, and glow in the dark strap details

Traction

Nike Air Rift: a solid rubber outsole for multi-traction surface
Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia: NON MARKING rubber outsole with flex grooves for natural foot movement

Cushion

Nike Air Rift: classic Air-Sole for lightweight cushioning
Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia: Lightweight cushioning midsole

Fit

Nike Air Rift: runs smaller or true to size
Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia: true to size or runs bigger

Overall
After comparing both shoes, in terms of usage both are really practical than other training sneakers. However, Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia shoes is more flexible, comfortable and lighter than Air Rift. Therefore, I will give Nike Air Rift 7/10 and Adidas x Stella McCartney Zilia 9/10. This is also because Air Rift is slightly bulkier, which is kind of problem for a petite girl like me.

I will post my #ootd photos soon with these cute sneakers. Thanks for reading, I hope this review might help you guys in decision of buying these sneakers. And as for the price they are also not really expensive, Nike Air Rift for USD100 and EUR90 for Adidas Zilia. I think it is really worth it to buy these shoes.

XOXO,
