Adizero Prime X3 Strung
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.
What's new: A complete overhaul: new Lightstrike Pro, a single hollowed carbon plate above the EnergyRods (the X2 used two plates), a longer forefoot rocker and a roomier upper, though slightly less stable than before.

What it feels like
Fit
True to size
True to size with a roomier fit than the X2, but the upper sits low over the toes, so some may want half a size up.
What the critics say
- Massive cushioning and lively bounce
- Efficient and fun for long uptempo efforts
- More comfortable, roomier fit than the X2
- Heavy and stiff for easy days or intervals
- Very expensive, and less stable for heel strikers
