  • RunRepeat : 73.6 / 100 — « The adidas Adistar 3 introduces significant changes, featuring increased bounce and a lighter design—we really noticed these improvements on our runs. However, it does come with substantial drawbacks; the stability is reduced, and the superior Continental outsole, known for its durability and grip, is missing. Despite these issues, it remains a cost-effective option, even more affordable than the Pegasus! »
