Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 91.6 / 100 — « The Pro Evo grabs the headlines, but the regular Adios Pro is the shoe that actually brings money into adidas. After testing version 5, we were impressed by how much it improves, with a featherlight build, better grip, a more comfortable upper, and a softer ride. We also liked seeing race-proven ENERGYRIM technology arrive from the Evo series. On the other hand, the price has gone up, the fit remains narrow, and the durability concerns create some real uncertainty around an otherwise excellent super shoe. »
  • RoadTrailRun : 89.7 / 100 — « Built by Adidas around the Lightstrike Pro midsole, the Adizero Adios Pro 5 pairs a fluid forefoot roll with leg-saving Lightstrike Pro cushioning (176 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 5.6 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • Believe in the Run : 89.0 / 100 — « Pairing Adidas's Lightstrike Pro platform with a 5.6 mm drop, the Adizero Adios Pro 5 balances joint protection and snappy turnover across road sessions. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for race & marathon training. »
