Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4
Adidas's flagship marathon racer with a full Lightstrike Pro midsole and Energyrods 2.0 glass-fiber-infused carbon rods. The ride is bouncy and aggressive, rewarding runners who can hold marathon pace or faster. One of the top-tier super shoes for half marathon and marathon race day.
Reach for the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 for race day. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Highly propulsive rocker at race pace
- Lighter than most rivals in its class
- Excellent Lightstrike Pro energy return
- Unstable at easy paces
- Expensive and durability is only fair
