Expert Review Sources

  • The Running Collective : 91.4 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable race & marathon option, the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (99 g, a 5.9 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for race & marathon training. »
  • Runnea : 91.4 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 5.9 mm drop and weighing 99 g, the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. A smart choice for runners looking for a 5.9 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 91.6 / 100 — « The adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 changes what we thought possible from super shoes, and it backs it up with the first-ever (actually... two!) sub-2-hour marathon performances. We found in the lab that its sub-100g build still delivers top-tier energy return and shock absorption, all while reaching a massive stack height instead of using a stripped-down design like some prototypes we've seen over the past few years. Comfort and durability are heavily compromised here, but nobody should be surprised. Nonetheless, we believe that adidas deserves full credit for raising the ceiling of the industry with this incredible shoe. »
