The adidas adizero adios Pro 4 is a high-performance racing shoe crafted for competitive runners seeking to achieve personal bests in marathons. Its cutting-edge features, including enhanced cushioning, propulsive ENERGYRODS, and an aggressive rocker geometry, deliver exceptional speed and efficiency, though its specialized design means it is primarily optimized for race day rather than daily training.
LIGHTLOCK Upper Design: A brand new wraparound upper providing a secure, comfortable, and highly breathable fit that effectively holds your foot in place during high-speed efforts. - ENERGYRODS 2.0: Strategically placed within the midsole, these rods are designed to provide stiffness and propulsive guidance, mimicking the foot's natural bone structure to improve running economy and forward momentum. - Updated LIGHTSTRIKE PRO Cushioning: This advanced midsole material offers a lighter weight, significantly increased energy return, and a slightly softer, 'squidgy' sensation for improved comfort over long distances. - LIGHTTRAXION Outsole with Continental Rubber: Engineered to minimize overall shoe weight without compromising grip, featuring a patch of Continental rubber in the forefoot for proven, reliable traction at toe-off. - Aggressive Rocker Point (60 Degrees): Drawing insights from elite athlete shoes, the rocker point has been moved back to 60 degrees to promote a more aggressive and ultimately faster forward roll, maximizing speed and efficiency through each stride. - Lightweight Construction: Weighing in at just 200g, the shoe is designed to feel fast and agile underfoot. - Optimized Stack Height: Features a 39mm heel stack tapering to 33mm in the forefoot, providing a balanced blend of protective cushioning and responsiveness.

The adidas adizero adios Pro 4 is engineered to maximize your performance on race day, particularly in marathons. The combination of ENERGYRODS 2.0 and the 60-degree rocker point creates a propulsive feel, guiding your foot quickly through each stride and reducing energy expenditure. This means you can maintain a faster pace for longer. The LIGHTSTRIKE PRO cushioning delivers a high level of energy return, acting like a spring with every step, while keeping the shoe exceptionally lightweight. The secure LIGHTLOCK upper ensures your foot stays locked in, preventing any wasted movement, even as you fatigue in the later stages of a race. The LIGHTTRAXION outsole with Continental rubber provides confident grip, especially crucial during powerful toe-offs or in varying road conditions. This shoe is built to help you push your limits and achieve your personal bests on the road.
The adizero adios Pro 4 features a regular fit and traditional lace closure, allowing for a customizable and secure fit. To set up, simply lace them up to your preferred snugness, ensuring your foot feels locked down but not constricted. These shoes are compatible with competitive road running, specifically designed and optimized for marathons and half-marathons where speed and efficiency are paramount. They are suitable for runners seeking a fast, propulsive ride. For care, after each use, allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Remove any excess dirt using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the shoe's structural integrity and cushioning properties. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their performance and longevity.
