“I would call this a buy-if-you-wanted-it price.”
Who it's for
I would call this a buy-if-you-wanted-it price. $105 is clearly better than $150, but this is not deep enough for me to ignore fit, color, versatility or what else is already in the closet. A deal still has to earn its space.
Runner first, lifestyle second
With real running shoes I separate performance from fashion pretty hard. I learned that with my own Adizero pair. I thought I could run in them and still use them casually, then I actually started running in them and that idea died fast. A modern runner can push your foot forward, have a weird rocker shape, get dirty immediately and feel great during a run while being annoying for hours of walking around. So I would buy Men's adidas Running Adizero Evo SL Woven Shoes Cloud White / Matte Gold because you need a runner first. Then look at fit, your gait, how you strike the ground and whether the shoe works for the kind of miles you actually do. A good hack is getting your feet measured somewhere like Fleet Feet and keeping the readout in your phone. I did that and it gives you something useful to reference when you are shopping deals online.
Price context
We have 3 tracked observations on this one so far, and $105 is the lowest price we have tracked. I would not call that some all-time low because our history is still young, but it is useful context. The inventory note we captured was "Full size run." That matters because the best theoretical price means nothing if your size is gone. My last check is the boring stuff people skip when the percentage gets exciting: shipping, return policy and fit confidence. A 30% markdown can still get ruined by fifteen or twenty dollars of shipping, a final-sale policy or a return process that makes you regret the whole thing. Chicago City Sports is where the deal is sitting, so check the current page before buying because prices and sizes move. If you already like Men's adidas Running Adizero Evo SL Woven Shoes Cloud White / Matte Gold, can see how it fits into your wardrobe and you are comfortable at $105, I would rather make the decision on that than sit around trying to nail the absolute bottom. If you are lukewarm, waiting is free. Another deal will come.
Before you buy
The other thing I would not do is overthink a good price once the shoe already passes your personal test. Price history is useful, but it can turn into procrastination. I have watched models get cheaper and cheaper, then the brand catches another wave of popularity and suddenly the deep discounts disappear. I have also watched shoes slowly sell out until the only pairs left are useless sizes. So yes, shop smart, but do not turn deal hunting into a game where you can only win by buying at the exact bottom. If the shoe fits the wardrobe, the size is there and the number feels right, that is enough.
