adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 Reviews

Used the AP3 as their do-it-all racer and loved its firm, responsive ride and late rocker, but the eyelets tore up their feet whatever they tried, so they sold it.

Sold the AP3 after 70 km: hated the upper but loved the ride.

After 425 miles, praises the Adios Pro 3's soft, responsive midsole, durability and grip, but the laces are poor and the upper can chafe and cause lace bite.

Brandon Wood found it poppy, fun and fast—“made me want to go”—while returning from a car crash. It took about 10 miles to break in, and the rods felt stable rather than intrusive. Grip was great on dry pavement but poor in snow; lacing and heel fit are tricky, and the mesh is scratchy.

Nick Harris-Fry found it stiff and unnatural at pace on the first run, but it improved after breaking in. A 15-miler felt smooth and bouncy with no forefoot pain. It is more stable and comfortable than the Pro 2 and a top marathon option, though less speedy for short races and pricier.

Paolo Corsini says it remains very fast and responsive after 400+ km. The rods and Lightstrike Pro continued to support him beyond km 30–35 of a marathon, with less fatigue than in the Vaporfly Next% 2. The basic laces and unpadded tongue are fiddly, and the heel-strike rubber wore through.

A 200 lb runner, 20 miles into the Adios Pro 3, calls it a blast: the most energy return of any shoe they've had, a secure fit even with soaked feet in humidity, and it seems durable, though the heel collar digs into their Achilles.

Found the Vaporfly 2 too soft with no response; the Adios Pro 3 responds much better, feels amazing and is now their bread-and-butter shoe.

Hard to beat the pop and ride of the Adios Pro 3 even with a mediocre upper; it is their race-day choice.

On an 11-mile first run with 8 at marathon pace, the AP3 lived up to the hype: great foam, confident outsole grip and a rocker that nudged them forward, after swapping laces to avoid upper irritation.
