The Adizero Adios Pro 5 is Adidas's flagship marathon racer, rebuilt around a new carbon-infused ENERGYRIM structure that replaces the previous EnergyRods. By moving the carbon to a perimeter ring, Adidas packs a much greater volume of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam directly underfoot, delivering a claimed 9% increase in energy return over the Pro 4 while cutting weight by around 12%.
A redesigned LIGHTLOCK 2.0 woven upper adds breathability and lockdown, addressing a common complaint with the previous generation, and a re-engineered LIGHTTRAXION outsole with Continental rubber in the forefoot improves wet-weather grip.
Best for runners chasing a fast marathon or half marathon who want one of the lightest, most stable super shoes on the market.
