adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 Unisex

The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 for both men and women are neutral competition shoes. This model from adidas is designed for running a personal best, in both a 10km and a marathon. The fast competition shoes include carbon and the responsive LightstrikePro foam in the midsole.

What are the updates compared to the Adios Pro 2? Firstly, there is more cushioning under the foot thanks to no fewer than three layers of LightstrikePRO foam. This provides maximum cushioning and energy return. In addition, so-called “cutouts” (notches) have been made in the sole at the forefoot, midfoot and heel. As a result, the Adios Pro 3 is somewhat lighter in weight than its predecessor. And finally, the upper has been adjusted based on new anatomical insights. For example, the heel cap is a bit higher for more support around the ankle.

The Adios Pro 3 has the Primegreen label, which means that the upper is made from high-quality recycled materials. The upper is almost transparent and very lightweight. The material is slightly stiffer around the feet for light support and a well-locked feeling. It barely retains moisture, which also keeps it lightweight. It also offers high breathability so that your feet remain comfortable when running long distances at a high pace.

The midsole consists of three layers of LightstrikePRO foam. This damping material stores more energy than any other damping material adidas has developed to date. Subsequently, it also returns almost all energy, so that very little energy is lost. Between those three layers of LightstrikePRO material is a Carbon plate under the heel and EnergyRods enriched with Carbon under the forefoot. The EnergyRods follow the anatomy of the forefoot. They give back a lot of energy and offer flexibility. As a result, you experience a very energetic and reactive sales. The Carbon plate in the heel absorbs the impact of a heel landing. Thanks to the geometry of the competition shoes, you experience a powerful transition and settlement that allows you to run faster with less effort.

Finally, some rubber has been added under the forefoot and under the heel for extra grip on wet surfaces. It also offers resistance to wear and increases the durability of the shoes. The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 is a very fast competition shoe and is made for running long distances at a high pace.

The adidas Adios Pro 3 falls into the category of fast, long-distance carbon shoes. Comparable models in this category include the Nike Alphafly, Asics Metaspeed Sky and the Saucony Endorphin Pro.
