This week adidas unveiled the latest addition to its record-breaking Adizero franchise* – the Adizero Adios Pro 3.
South African marathon and ultra-marathon running sensation, Gerda Steyn describes the Adizero Adios Pro 3 as “simply exceptional” based on her first few workouts in the newly launched shoe. “They feel stable, fast, grippy and ready to fire. I love the lightweight upper and the snug feeling around my heel. I’ve really enjoyed running and racing in the Adizero Adios Pro 2… but I can tell you, this is the upgrade you didn’t realise you needed!”
The newest addition to the iconic Adizero range is a true testament to the brand’s continued dedication to elevate the performance of runners by helping them push the boundaries of what is possible.
What started with Peres Jepchirchir’s world record win – breaking the half marathon world record in the Adizero Adios Pro 1 in Prague in 2020 – continues now with the Adizero Adios Pro 3. adidas’ ultimate long-distance racing shoe, the Adizero Adios Pro 3 is built for runners looking to take their performance to the next level and run after new records.
Launching in a beam yellow / solar green colorway, the Adizero Adios Pro 3 features:
- ENERGYRODS 2.0: Carbon energy rods that were previously separate, are now a single structure for harmonious stiffness. Embedded in the midsole and running parallel to the metatarsals, to give runners energy return.
- Lightstrike Pro foam: The midsole consists of two levels of resilient Lightstrike Pro foam, providing runners with cushioning and energy return to support them on longer races ranging from half to full marathons.
- New upper: New lightweight upper, designed to be race-ready and provide support for athletes where they need it most.
- Continental rubber outsole: Helping runners stay on track, the silhouette is built with a Continental rubber outsole with traction to help take corners at fast pace.
- Made in part with recycled materials: This product is made in part with a series of recycled materials – just one solution that will help adidas phase out all virgin polyester and help end plastic waste.
Nicholas Roché, Global Project Manager at adidas said: “This shoe showcases our ambition to continue working with, and for, the world’s top athletes, as we deliver elite racing footwear to those looking to run faster than ever and improve their running performance.
“We have witnessed the record shattering capabilities of the Adizero range in the past, so we look forward to seeing what times our athletes can achieve in the latest iteration, as we continue to strive to reach unprecedented goals.”
