The wait is over. The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3, the third version of the most successful adidas saga in recent years, is here. The German brand has made a great effort to improve a model that had little to improve. A trainer made to break records in long-distance events with one of the best comfort and reactivity sensations on the market.
The new iteration of the highly successful running shoe from the German company is back, retaining its core essence while introducing significant improvements to its structure. These enhancements include the incorporation of two layers of foam in the midsole and the optimisation of the carbon plate to boost energy return with each stride. Another notable change is the reduction in the trainer's drop, resulting in more elevation in the forefoot area.
To enhance stability, adidas has chosen to widen the front and rear of the sole platform, as well as including some wedge-shaped cuts in the foam, taking as a reference the adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 8 model.
This model could already be seen, especially in the half marathon test of the exclusive adizero Road To Records event last April 30, aims to take another leap in quality to compete head to head with competitors like Nike or ASICS to be the running shoe of choice for elite athletes and recreational runners to beat their records in half marathon and marathon.
One of the keys to the good performance of this running running shoe for men and women lies in the composition of its midsole. In this case, the designers have opted to include a double-layer Lightstrike Pro foam that generates even more cushioning than in previous versions. The other key, without a doubt, is the optimisation of the carbon fibre plate in the form of rods, which adidas calls EnergyRods 2.0.
The trainer continues to maintain its philosophy of very high profiles, keeping in line with the legal limit allowed by World Athletics, which is 40 mm for road running shoes. In this case, they have decided to reduce the drop to 6.5 mm, with 39.5 mm in the heel area and 33 mm in the forefoot. It is possible that with the aim of looking for a more forefoot foot strike and thus take advantage of all the energy return provided by the midsole and the carbon plate.
The technical mesh is still very light, and it offers a high degree of breathability. You will run feeling that you are not wearing anything and with a lighter feel. Evidently, adidas' strategy continues to be to present a more sustainable model, using recycled materials in its construction.
adidas continues to rely on the Continental rubber outsole, although in this third version it opts for wider grooves so that the midsole foam can be seen more clearly, probably to slightly reduce the weight of the shoe without affecting the great grip of this compound.
The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3, like its predecessors Adizero Adios Pro 2 and Adios Pro, is a trainer made for high speed running, as it is at paces below 4 min/km approximately when you really start to feel its full potential. It's aimed at a type of runner profile with experience and a fairly refined running technique, being a better choice for those runners who land on their forefoot.
Despite being a model focused on fast running, we are talking about a running shoe focused on long distance thanks to its design that allows to maintain the efficiency of the stride and improve the running economy. This leads to energy savings and delays the onset of fatigue, which is crucial in events such as marathons.
In addition, the German-engineered construction is able to provide a very soft and pleasant underfoot feel despite being a very light shoe (230 g), although somewhat heavier than its previous version, probably due to the increased width of the heel and forefoot platforms. The Adizero Adios Pro 3 arrives with a starting RRP of £220, a cheaper price than its competitor NIKE Alphafly Next% 2, a factor that may tip the balance towards the German brand.
In short, this model is poised to become, once again, one of the favourite shoes of runners to beat their records or get the best possible performance in half marathons and marathons.
