Lightstrike Pro is TPEE, not PEBA. Personally, I've had better luck with Atreyu's outsoles, than that thin version from Adidas. My Adios Pro 2 were burned through on the lateral forefoot at 200 miles (Takumi Sen is doing worse), while I got 350 miles out of The Artist. If the Evo SL had the same outsole as the Boston 12/Prime X, I'd be all in. I put 750+ on the Prime X and it still looked good. I'd be interested to hear how well this new polyurethane outsole holds up. OP didn't make any mention of the outsole.
