History in Herzogenaurach – adidas has unveiled its latest race-day super shoe in the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3, cracking the 100-gram mark for the first time in the brand’s history.
Chalk it up as another win for the Three Stripes. adidas has been an absolutely dominant marathon performer in recent years, to the tune of six World Marathon Major wins, three world records, and one Olympic record time. That’s created an extremely high bar for adidas to surpass, which they claim to have done by meeting their goal of making a shoe under 100 grams for the first time in its history.
Several breakthrough upgrades power the design. At the core is next-gen Lightstrike Pro Evo foam, adidas’ lightest and most responsive compound yet, shedding nearly half the weight of prior versions. It’s paired with ENERGYRIM, a carbon-integrated system engineered to house a greater volume of foam underfoot while dialing in stiffness for added stability.
Taken together, the Adizero Adios Pro EVO 3 comes in 30% lighter, boosts forefoot energy return by 11%, and improves running economy by 1.6% versus the previous model. Find full tech specs below.
Tech specs
– Weight: 97 grams in a men’s size 9
– Total Stack Height: 39 mm/36 mm
– Drop: 3 mm
“Creating the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 pushed us to think differently from the very start,” says Patrick Nava, GM Running at adidas. “We weren’t just trying to improve on what we’d done before, we wanted to see how far we could go. We went through more than a dozen iterations, working closely with our athletes and testing everywhere from our labs in Herzogenaurach to high-altitude camps in Kenya and Ethiopia. At that level, every detail really matters – we were measuring things down to the nearest nanogram. It was a long process, but it’s led to something we believe genuinely changes what a race-day shoe can feel like.”
The adidas Adizero Adios Pro EVO 3 will be available in super limited quantities on April 25th via adidas and select running specialty stores. Like past versions, retail is set at $500.
