Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 | FULL REVIEW | The Night The Neon Skeletons Came To Life

Thomas and Robbe give all the thoughts on the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3, now with a modified metatarsal EnergyRod placement and improved stability. Traction is phenonenal. The bones are still their money, as long as they don't break up, but not out. Available now for $250.

[@jerrychanhly]

This thing is so bouncy and responsive, I love it. Zero hot spot on my 10 miles long run. Ride super smooth and bouncy!

[@Believeintherun]

As always, thanks for watching. Please leave your comments and questions and we'll do our best to get to all of them. We really enjoyed the improvements to this shoe so if you lived v1 you'll probably love this. If you do pick it up, help us out by hitting the link in the description. Thanks!

[@MINIMALmtb]

I've found you can leave the lacing fairly loose in the forefoot and synch it down with a runners knot for the heel. I run with the collar popped and have no blister issues on long runs. These might be the 🐐

[@AR9ify]

Great dynamics with this duo. Great reviews. 👍

[@manuel_877]

Good afternoon believe in the run and all the runners. Good video and good shoes for élite runners. Here is my like. A nice week for everyone. ☀️🏃‍♂️☀️

[@edinayee]

the best running shoes i have tried so far

[@Skatemar]

Great review as always guys. I agree with the amazing toe off in the shoe, its now my daily trainer.

[@aayusharora2459]

How durable is it ?

[@botrytis_cinerea]

Daily trainer? 🤔

[@KIRANSAWESOME]

Great video as always! You left the Nike shoes in the background for an adidas review 😳😳

[@Believeintherun]

Whoopsie!

[@Formerly-known-as-Steve]

Great review - You guys are the best, the perfect combination of crazy and professional.

[@wilfredo-teyrosalesfotos]

Love the review homies 🤜🏾🤛🏻; Robbie Racoon’s comment of “2am drunk in Minnesota” had me ⚰️⚰️⚰️😂

[@venture1883]

I can see the upper causing problems for people. Lacing aside the textured achilles pods could be irritating. The toebox vertical volume is low and with the rocker geometry, the upper contacts the top of my foot which is a strange sensation. Aside from the odd upper, the responsiveness is excellent. Feels poppy rather than squish-bounce than vaporflys but more stable. Continental's reputation precedes itself. Alphafly v1 will probably be my marathon race shoe but this is a close second.

[@simonromero7647]

You guys just hit the point! I broke the rods of left shoe on my Adidas pro2 with just 120 km. Shame

[@moreybrown870]

Zelda. Wedding invitations. Pit Crew. tesla truck angles. Samari swords. Rod sandwich. I grew up on pretzel rods in Pennsylvania! Ben Signal. Love your reviews.

[@Believeintherun]

Hell yeah! Snyders and Utz, baby

[@enkidu2562]

I'm missing more focus on softness/responsiveness/bounciness for most of your reviews. This foam has always looked firmer to me than say ZoomX, is that accurate?

[@jjstudio6612]

The moment he said “Legend of Zelda”, I’m locked in alr HAHAHAHA thanks for the review!

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

I have put 20 miles (summerGRIT FTW) in mine, they are a shoe that does everything thing well. Unfortunately, I have just one real bad issue (and check with any of your team who might have a fuller foot ) so the jury is out. The eyelet support on the front of the right shoe (left side ) really digs into the knuckly of my big toe ..it has created a massive blister, etc .. I have purchased some surgical spirits to toughen the skin up and will also place some strategic moleskin when I next run in them (be 3 weeks until the blister sorts itself) , if that does not resolve it then eBay it will be .. which is a shame as I love the shoe itself, smooth, quick ,supportive bounce but not being too pillowy, this show let me put in a sub 5km/4.30 while keeping my heart rate around 132bpm .. A magic long-distance shoe.. what the Hoka x3 should have been. Running the rest of my grit miles in a pair of altra's .. comfy slippers does not bother the toe :P

[@Believeintherun]

Ah man, hope that resolves itself, we don't have large volume feet so didn't experience that.

[@dhoang75]

I can relate. I tried them on for good 10 mins & decided that it's not for me just because of the upper & its eyelet.

[@iled6319]

I just HAD to comment on this as I'm sitting here with a blister on my right foot's big toe bone, exactly where my bunion is. The top eyelet actually has a harden strip under the upper that, for first 10K felt fine but i did a 32K long run, and the eyelet was stabbing into my big toe bone for the second half of the run. Running straight was alright but whenever I do right turns it would definitely stab into the bone. I read somewhere that to mitigate this issue, start lacing the shoes further up the shoe, as in to just skip the first set of eyelets, will have to give that a try. Other than that, great shoe.

[@Istandal0ne1]

Not sure what to choose Asics Edge + or Sky + or the Adidas pro 3. Eventually I'm going to get all 3. Just not sure what to choose next. I'm a huge Asics fan though. Thanks for sharing guys. Awesome review

[@pauldelaney4186]

Just get one the Alphafly 1 while you can!

So… funk-tional?!? If they’re gonna do a pretzel collab then I’ll hold out for the Utz or Rold Gold color way later in the year. 😂

[@vilallong]

Did you ever got a chance to compare the first Pro 2 (Midsole drop: 10 mm / sole is all white) vs the second version (Midsole drop: 7.5 mm / sole has two colors). I think there's not a big difference between the Pro 2 (second version) and the Pro 3. Will like to know what you think.

[@cesarzoghbi4695]

Im a huge Adidas fan, currently in taxing in the adizero pro and by the way im saving to buy my adizero adios pro 3 probably for December i wonder what color way will be by that date?And im going to do Marathon in the adizero Pro i did a half marathon in hilly coutse and was perfect!

[@thejeffinvade]

Somehow this is on sale in Canada on sportchek, for $180 CAD=$140 USD. So of course I just ordered myself a pair.

[@eulogyforadream]

Is anyone else getting annoying achilles rubbing? I really like ride and want to use it for a marathon. I'm just terrified that it might be painful. Did the shoe soften down anyone?

[@damjankrajnc7315]

thicker and softer laces...and tighten them less...helps

[@Believeintherun]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mayurmayur2204]

Grip are best ❤

[@today-nl]

Great review!!!

[@IndianaNaturalDog]

Adios Pro 3 or Alphafly 2 for a marathon? What's your pick?

[@paulmulks]

I love that Lightstrike Pro foam but to date both the adios pro 2 AND the Prime X which I purchased have both caused my shins to flare up so badly that I've had to stop running in them, so subsequently I've had to sell both those shoes losing an absolute fortune in the process 😫

[@jamesb.walker9177]

Concerning issue... did you feel the were unstable causing you to pronate?

[@paulmulks]

@@jamesb.walker9177 I do think the instability was causing me to over pronate but it didn't matter what speed I would run at both those shoes were just not suitable for me which I was gutted about as I love that Lightstrike Pro foam

[@jamesb.walker9177]

@@paulmulks I have the exact same problem with the Endo Speed (1 2 3)

[@paulmulks]

@@jamesb.walker9177 Aah mate no way. I've got the speed 3 and absolutely love them lol I don't have any issues in them thankfully. I was worried as I had the Endo Pro 1 & 2 and I hated them! Never had any injury issues, instead I just found them very stiff and lifeless so again both those pairs ended up on ebay 😂 I'm now tempted to get the Pro 3's after my success with the speed 3's

[@treboltreacy9498]

I just got a pair at runners warehouse for 174.00 👍🏻

[@markwildphotography]

Anything like the Prime X? I’d love a slightly wider version of the Prime X with a softer more comfy upper!

[@Believeintherun]

Similar in set up. The upper isn’t “comfy”

[@runhanrunnl]

If only this shoe was 20% cheaper!

[@tashriquekarriem8865]

Yo adidas what happened to the minimalist running shoe once called the adizero

[@krawkovski]

Time for Between 4 shoes?

[@alfianlo1365]

Suggestion.. you guys room is pretty dark.. its hard to tell the detail about the shoes looks.. i think u guys needed more lightnings

[@johnmcnally198]

I’ve had issues with the laces rubbing my left foot but not the right foot not too sure how to stop the rubbing from the lace bracket it’s a shame as the trainers are awesome apart from this issue

[@Believeintherun]

Try locklaces 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@brandonm4664]

What do you think is the best race day shoe with stability?

[@Believeintherun]

Probably Alphafly, Brooks Hyperion Elite 3 is even more stable but wouldn't consider that a contender

[@jamesb.walker9177]

How is the stability compared to the other top race shoes?

[@Believeintherun]

Pretty comparable, def more stable than last year

[@robinbauer1975]

This or the Vaporfly? I have the Vaporfly and I either will buy another Vaporfly or this one (only if it is in pink) black sucks imo and the Vaporfly is insane

[@Believeintherun]

If you like the Vaporfly stick with it.

[@treboltreacy9498]

You guys make me laugh 😀

[@JuanDiaz-zo2ys]

I'm a casual jogger, not really a race-day kinda guy (Ive done a couple 5k runs here & there). But...can i just wear these casually? i love the striking look of the upper but no sure if these are ok for casual use.

[@Believeintherun]

Probably wouldn't recommend it. I mean, you *could* but we'd probably recommend the takumi sen 8 which is a bridge between the two

[@topoisomerace]

Walking in these types of plated super shoes is trickier because you'll be a little wobbly and require more calf effort to get through your steps. It's a bit like walking uphill on an unstable surface.

[@angelgalarza6852]

I’m not sure why people say ZoomX provide more bounce, I have 4 pairs of Vaporflys, and 3 pairs of Alphaflys, I have both the Prime X and the adios pro 3, in my opinion lightstryke pro is noticeably bouncier

The laces suck but do remind me of the 80s.

[@matthewledvina8323]

There is waayyy too much vocal fry in this video. Please speak with confidence! Anyway, I have it, love it for my long runs. Don't love the tongue, and the upper is stiff, but whatever. With these you can start running and never stop running in these once you're locked in. I get cravings to run in it again. It's a long run shoe so don't even bother with a short run in them.Thanks for the review.

[@duanesidney9761]

A top tier $250 racing shoe with a wafer thin tongue that's a bitch to lace up? Pass. Better options out there in this price range.

[@peter7371]

Am I the only one that does not like the very geometric design of these? Looks like it was just like “put as many triangles as you can” 😂 I have a pair of v2 and honestly as I’ve used them more I like them but wouldn’t race in them. To me they are a very workout/long run shoe

[@chandlerrodriguez7670]

[@KoIhara]

Among all the carbon shoes out there, I'm intrigued in what actually qualified/disqualified them from marathon racing for you guys. Meaghan mentioned Endo Pro 3 for "up to half marathon" in the other review video, and Robbe seems to qualify Edge+ for marathon distance here. I think Edge+ was considered stiffer than Endo Pro 3... so, it's not very clear. I should stop watching so many videos of two people talking about shoes.

[@kalvin.]

Mostly preference. Reality is most of these shoes will be just fine at any distance. If we could run marathons in racing flats it’s probably not as big of a deal between an Endorphin or Adios Pro 3 besides personal preference

[@KoIhara]

​@@kalvin. ya, I'm interested because I've also crossed out Endo Pro for marathon racing. Even though I hit half marathon PR wearing them, I couldn't convince myself that my feet would survive the stiffness in the full distance. All in all, I'm curious if there's anything that sort of comes between Endo Speed and Endo Pro. I'd assume that space isn't very wide, so this might all be moot.

[@Believeintherun]

Yeah kind of comes down to preference. I (Robbe) like more road feel, don't like soft shoes, so the Edge+ is prime for me. Meg likes softer shoes. I do think Endo Pro 2 would be a bit harsh for marathon level, but the 3 has more cushion (but plate is still very stiff).

[@MK-tk8tb]

I am elderly, obesly over weight but I do Believe these shoes will make me fast ….er. Maybe.

[@Believeintherun]

Only one way to find out

[@bhimfb]

Don't do over act..

[@russellbutt1553]

As always, you can thank 5.10 for that grip, stems from their MTB shoes - which got bought out by Adidas.
