Adidas Adizero Adios 10

The tenth edition of Adidas's classic lightweight racing flat, continuing the low-stack Lightstrike Pro formula of the Adios 9. It targets runners who prefer a fast, firm, unplated shoe for intervals, tempos, and 5K-10K racing. A rare traditional flat in a market full of tall super trainers.

Who it's for

Reach for the Adidas Adizero Adios 10 for tempo days and intervals and race day. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. Expect a firm, low-to-the-ground feel that rewards fast turnover but offers less protection on long efforts.
