adidas ADIZERO Adios Pro 5: your next personal best is within reach

A Pro reimagined from the ground up: change begins with construction

The comparison with Adios Pro 4 immediately clarifies the scope of the project: the weight drops to 177 grams, 23 grams lighter than the previous generation, while ENERGYRIM replaces the ENERGYRODS and allows for more space for LIGHTSTRIKE PRO directly underfoot. The new carbon-infused structure introduces calibrated stiffness to support stability and propulsion, contributing, along with the foam, to a 9% higher energy return. LIGHTLOCK 2.0 further lightens the overall design with ventilation zones and internal supports, while LIGHTTRAXION and Continental rubber complete the outsole with traction and durability for long distances.

From the first to the last kilometer, the difference lies in continuity

Being explosive at the start is not enough: the goal is to maintain effectiveness even when the distance starts to take its toll. Adios Pro 5 is designed to help the runner maintain pace in the later stages, combining comfort, stability, grip, and responsiveness underfoot. It is also the most tested model in ADIZERO history: over 25 athletes involved from Kenya, Ethiopia, and the United States, extended trials, internal validations, and independent biomechanical research. The process also benefited from Sabastian Sawe's input, bringing his feedback into the development of a supershoe aimed at those who, on race day, have the clock as their reference.

The ADIZERO Family: from training to records

ADIZERO Adios Pro 5 is just one interpretation of a range built around different needs. At the extreme of innovation, adidas presents Pro EVO 3, the lightest and fastest supershoe ever created by the brand, weighing under 100 grams and playing a key role in breaking the two-hour marathon barrier in April 2026. Boston brings speed to the most challenging sessions and long distances, while Evo SL incorporates some of the research developed for record-breaking shoes into a proposal suitable for more everyday use. Different approaches, united by the same foundation: since 2023, the ADIZERO family has contributed to five world records and over 30 victories in major road races, transforming solutions designed for the fastest athletes into a continuous laboratory for running.
