What is new in the Adios Pro 4 compared with the Adios Pro 3?

The Pro 4 adds a new rocker point for running economy and uses ENERGYRODS 2.0 with a double layer of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO. The outsole combines Continental rubber with LIGHTTRAXION to save weight.

Is it good for a first marathon?

It is a race-day shoe built for speed, so it suits runners already used to plated, aggressive geometry. Beginners may prefer a more forgiving daily trainer for long builds.

How does it compare with the Nike Vaporfly?

Both are carbon-plated super shoes with lightweight foam. The Adios Pro 4 uses rod-based ENERGYRODS and a Continental rubber outsole; the Vaporfly uses a full carbon plate and ZoomX foam. Ride feel and fit differ, so try both if you can.

What is the outsole made of?

Continental rubber provides grip during toe-off, and LIGHTTRAXION reduces weight without sacrificing traction.

Can I use it for daily training?

It is designed for racing and fast sessions. The thin, race-focused build wears faster than a daily trainer, so most runners save it for key workouts and race day.

Our take on the Adizero Adios Pro 4 Shoes

The Adizero Adios Pro 4 is adidas' flagship road racing shoe, built for fast marathon and half-marathon efforts. It pairs carbon-infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 with a double layer of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam and a new rocker point aimed at running economy. Continental rubber and LIGHTTRAXION on the outsole keep grip while trimming weight. It suits runners chasing personal bests who are comfortable in an aggressive, race-day shoe; rivals like the Nike Vaporfly and Asics Metaspeed also use carbon plates and super foams, so the choice comes down to fit and ride feel.
