The German firm presents this high-end men's shoe designed for trail running. This model Adistar Raven 3 has a weight of 340 grams for a foot size 42/43, a drop of 10 mm and has been designed for those trail runners with a neutral footprint and medium build.
This trail running shoe features an outsole made of a rubber compound and lugs from the renowned Continental tire company, which will provide you with great grip on the most slippery surfaces and on rainy days. On the other hand, this Adistar Raven 3 integrates the technology catalogued as Adaptive Traxion, which contributes to efficiently manage steep terrain, thanks to its excellent grip.
The upper of this lightweight trail running shoe is made of a perforated mesh but not very breathable. Waterproofing is not good either, as it lacks a protective membrane to protect us from puddles and inclement weather.
The Adistar Raven 3 has a somewhat high profile midsole, good flexibility and powerful cushioning. Adidas engineers have placed special emphasis on the forefoot area to enhance propulsion and efficiency, thanks to Adiprene technology.
In short: this trail shoe stands out for its good traction on all types of terrain, as long as they are not too technical. Its superb cushioning is another aspect worth highlighting, along with the good protection it confers to the foot and the shoe's well-designed weight.
