Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3

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.

What's new: Much lighter, softer Lightstrike Pro Evo foam and a carbon ENERGYRIM around the sole edge replace the Energy Rods, dropping weight below 100 g; the upper is thinner and grip improves.

True to size

Broadly true to size, but the thin upper needs careful lacing; some testers would go half a size down for lockdown, others up.
