The rods feel best at uptempo paces and even better running all out.
The forefoot is aggressive, with a ton of foam that compresses and rebounds.
The heel is very soft, but thanks to a rear plate, the transition through the midfoot is quite fast. Running feels like you are bouncing along. Walking in the shoe feels soft and unstable.
DARK RUNNER GUIDE 2.0 PRO
The Adios Pro 2 was designed specifically for running. The toe spring feels slightly less aggressive than the original version, making for a smoother toe off. The Adios Pro 2 is heavily rockered, with a large laterally biased heel bevel and an aggressive toe spring. The double layers of Lighstrike Pro foam are incredibly soft, with noticeable stiffness from the carbon fiber rods from the midfoot into the forefoot. Matt: The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2 is one of the bounciest shoes I have every tried. The tongue is also performance oriented and is very thin and does just enough to hold the dorsum of the foot and protect from tight lacing. Because of the length I had a tiny bit of heel slippage but after the locking the shoe down well that went away. The upper is an INCREDIBLY thin synthetic like mesh that still feels durable enough to not be worried about with hard turns or blowing through.
There is no heel counter, however there is a piece of reinforced material down the midline of the calcaneus that helps the shoe keep its shape. The shoe is true to size in my 9.5 but does fit a tad bit long. The shoe is normal width to slightly narrow through the heel and midfoot with a little more space through the toe box for toe splay and swelling accommodation. I have done a few sockless runs and the mesh feels great, but the Achilles notch has caused a little rubbing.ĭavid: The Adidas Adios Pro 2 fits similar to most racing shoes.
DARK RUNNER GUIDE 2.0 SKIN
The Adios Pro 2 can be worn sockless, although should be done so by those with thick skin over their Achilles tendon. Lace locking the heel helped and allowed me to loosen them. The laces are a little thin and dug into the top of my foot initially. The upper is a thin synthetic mesh that feels light yet tough. This was easily remedied with lace locking the rearfoot. This does cause a slight problem with security as I had some heel slippage on both sides. There is no heel counter and the rear upper is very comfortable. The forefoot has plenty of room for a racing shoe and fits more snug in the midfoot and heel. Matt: The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2 fits me true to size in my normal men's US size 10. Whether it is the cutouts in the midsole, hardly existent outsole, or incredibly thin upper this is a racing option that is ready to roll with the best of them. Everything about this shoe is geared towards performance. This certainly is a racing or workout only type of shoe. The Lightstrike Pro and energy rod midsole provide for a very bouncy ride throughout without being overly soft or unstable. The shoe certainly carries a little bit of weight to it for the racing category but after seeing the success of the Alpha Fly and all of the other marathon racing shoes, 8 ounces really isn't anything too crazy. The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2 returns as a competitive racing shoe for those that want a soft ride, lateral bias at the rearfoot, a responsive toe off and a little more room up top.ĭavid: The Adidas Adios Pro 2 is an elite racing option for races 5k and up. The midsole features new sole sculpting, making for a fast feeling, but stable shoe for certain people that need a laterally biased rearfoot when you engage the plate and rods. The upper fits slightly wider than many racing shoes, featuring a very thin mesh and no heel counter. The duel layers of Lightstrike Pro surround a rearfoot plate and carbon fiber rods that create a responsive, cushioned and aggressive ride. Matt: The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2 is an elite distance racing shoe for 10k to the marathon (with potentially some versatility into the 5k).
