Expert Review Sources

  • RunMag : 83.7 / 100 — « Across our track & cross-country testing on track, the Adidas Adizero Sprintstar strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (179 g, a 0 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for track & cross-country training. »
  • RunRepeat : 82.6 / 100 — « The adidas Adizero Sprintstar is a smart update that delivers far more than its budget-friendly price suggests. We found in the lab that the airy upper, locked-in fit, and comfortable tongue create a training-ready package that even serious sprinters can appreciate. The shoe feels fast and focused despite its low price. However, it's not the most versatile option out there, and it works best for runners with polished form rather than for beginners. »
  • RoadTrailRun : 80.2 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 0 mm drop and weighing 179 g, the Adidas Adizero Sprintstar pairs a fluid forefoot roll with leg-saving Lightstrike 2.0 cushioning (179 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 0 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
