The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 is the pinnacle of running engineering, designed for ambitious athletes striving for personal bests over long distances . An evolution of the award-winning Adizero series, this model focuses on optimizing running performance, delivering unparalleled dynamics and stability. It was created for fast runners who demand maximum speed and energy efficiency from their footwear.

The textile-synthetic upper provides a standard fit and minimizes weight, ensuring a lightweight feel during racing. Despite its durability, it is adequately breathable. Comfort is enhanced by a textile lining , while the classic lacing allows for precise foot stabilization within the shoe. The overall weight is reduced to approximately 200 g (for a size 42.5).

The midsole features a dual-layer, ultralight LIGHTSTRIKE PRO construction, providing excellent cushioning and maximum energy return with every quick stride. A key element of the outsole is the carbon-infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 , which guarantee a smooth heel-to-toe transition , directly translating into a more dynamic and efficient stride. The specially contoured midsole geometry has been optimized to increase running economy and help preserve energy for longer. The low 6mm drop (33mm heel height / 39mm forefoot) supports the natural movement of the foot.

The shoes are built on an innovative Continental™ rubber outsole, known for its exceptional grip and abrasion resistance . LIGHTTRAXION technology in the sole reduces the shoe's overall weight without compromising stability and control during takeoff.

Adios Pro 4 vs Adios Pro 3

The new Lightlock upper material used in the fourth model hugs the foot like a sock. It's softer and more delicate to the touch , eliminating the chafing issues that plagued the Adios Pro 3. Additionally, an integrated tongue improves ease of entry and prevents it from rolling up , which was a problem with the previous version.

The most noticeable change is the sole geometry. A more aggressive rocker has been implemented, which in the Pro 4 encourages a more dynamic run. The shoe literally "pushes" the runner forward, translating to greater energy efficiency and improved performance. The forefoot has also been slightly modified – the base appears wider, increasing stability and comfort at high speeds.

adidas has introduced a new Lighttraxion tread pattern that provides excellent grip on dry surfaces. Only a small area of Continental rubber has been retained in the forefoot, resulting in a lighter footprint.
