"Both versions have a dual-density midsole with Lightstrike Pro on the top and Lightstrike 2.0 on the bottom. Lightstrike Pro is softer and more lively while Lightstrike 2.0 is denser and more durable. The main difference between the two versions is that the Boston 13 has more Lightstrike Pro and less Lightstrike 2.0 than the Boston 12. This results in a softer and more energetic ride than the 12."
"The Boston 13 has the faster and more comfortable ride. Not only is it softer than the 12 but it's also lighter and returns more energy thanks to the extra Lightstrike Pro in its midsole. It has more long-distance comfort because of its softer ride. They don't have plates in their soles but they have Energy Rods 2.0 made of fibreglass. The rods stiffen the midsole to make it snappier and more propulsive."
"The Boston 12 is more stable than the Boston 13. This is due to its firmer midsole which exhibits less lean bias so foot strikes feel more planted in the 12. There's less Continental rubber on the outsole of the Boston 13 to save weight. This means that the 12 has better traction than the 13 and it also has better outsole durability than the 13."
The Adidas Boston 13 and 12 share a dual-density midsole combining Lightstrike Pro on top and Lightstrike 2.0 below. The Boston 13 increases Lightstrike Pro and reduces Lightstrike 2.0, producing a softer, lighter, and more energetic ride with improved long-distance comfort. Both models lack plates but use fibreglass Energy Rods 2.0 to stiffen the midsole for propulsion. The Boston 12 retains a firmer forefoot and overall midsole, yielding a snappier toe-off, greater stability, and less lean bias. The Boston 12 also has more Continental rubber for superior traction and outsole durability. The Boston 13 features an upgraded upper with a semi-gusseted tongue and padded collar and heel tab for better comfort.
