A plateless shoe built entirely on Lightstrike Pro, so it feels light, agile and fun at almost any pace. It is one of the best-value do-it-all trainers going, as long as you don't need any stability.
adidas swaps the Pro 4's EnergyRods for a carbon EnergyRim around a new, lighter Lightstrike Pro midsole. The result is a softer, more forgiving marathon racer that feels natural and stable rather than aggressively snappy.
adidas's first sub-100 g racer pairs a new Lightstrike Pro Evo foam with a carbon ENERGYRIM around the midsole edge instead of rods. Soft, springy and very fast, but costly, fragile and hard to buy.
Carbon EnergyRods and more Lightstrike Pro make this a durable, versatile trainer for tempo work and long runs with pace. Lighter and better locked-in than the Boston 12, with a narrower toe box.

A 50mm, non-race-legal stack of Lightstrike Pro with a carbon plate and EnergyRods for big, bouncy long runs at pace. Huge fun for the right runner, but heavy, stiff and very expensive.
A high-stack cruiser built on new Hyperboost Pro foam, with lots of shock absorption and a lively, fun ride. Surprisingly agile for its size and durable, but pricey and warm.
adidas's trail super-shoe: soft Lightstrike Pro, plastic EnergyRods and an aggressive rocker for quick running on smooth, buffed trails up to ultra distance. Thrilling when the ground is runnable, less sure-footed when it gets technical.
A full-Lightstrike Pro everyday trail trainer that borrows the Speed Ultra 2's rocker but adds a forefoot shank and wider base for stability. Grippy, durable and comfortable on runnable trails, though heel strikers may not gel with it.
A lighter, lower and more stable sibling to the Speed Ultra 2, built for sub-ultra trail racing. Continental grip and a snug fit make it confident on mixed and technical ground.
The Evo SL's bouncy Lightstrike Pro ride with a grippier full-rubber outsole and a weather-resistant upper. It's a fun, fast all-weather trainer for wet roads, towpaths, gravel and easy trails.
adidas's low-slung 5K-10K racer pairs Lightstrike Pro with carbon EnergyRods for quick, low-inertia turnover. This version is softer and friendlier than before, with superb grip, but gives up some snap at full effort.
A proper moderate-stability trainer now, with a medial post and Dreamstrike+ foam under a rockered shape. It is firmer and heavier than before but grippy, durable and reassuring for steady miles.
A light, affordable trainer with more Lightstrike Pro than before, happy at a range of paces. Breathable and grippy in the wet, but not very stable for heel strikers.
A softer, more cushioned everyday trainer with Dreamstrike+ foam, a gentle rocker and excellent wet grip. Stable and comfortable for easy miles, though not especially lively.
A good-value trail workhorse with Lightstrike foam, a woven rock plate and Continental lugs. Stable and grippy on mixed ground, though the foam is firm at first.
A technical-trail racer with Lightstrike Pro, a rock plate between foam layers and an aggressive rocker. Planted and grippy on steep, rocky descents, but heavier than rivals.
adidas's high-stack rockered trainer moves to Dreamstrike+ foam, with a monomesh upper, internal midfoot support and a heel cup. Aimed at comfortable long miles rather than speed.
