Adidas ADIZERO PRO

Now it's the German brand Adidas' turn. Let's talk about the model the brand has decided to compete with in the carbon-plate running shoe sector: the Adizero Pro .

The Adizero Pro are presented, nothing more and nothing less, as Adidas ' fastest shoes, although they have a tough rival: the Adizero Adios Pro .

Let's begin our analysis of this model with its Carbitex carbon plate. This plate is multidirectional to provide maximum propulsion .

We have to say that the Adizero Pro doesn't share the typical characteristics of other carbon plate shoes. This model is more similar to "normal" shoes, except it incorporates a carbon plate that runs from the midfoot to the toe.

The upper is covered with a single layer of mesh, which is the finest and lightest of the German brand and which perfectly envelops the foot .

In the midsole , of course, we have Boost concentrated in the heel and the area closest to the ground. This decreases in quantity as we move down the layer, giving way to the Lightstrike , which sits above the carbon fiber plate and provides lightness and firmness . This combination of technologies aims to offer ultra-light cushioning , promoting greater speed and more explosive movements.

The sole is divided into three zones: the forefoot is made of Continental rubber, which provides excellent grip even on wet surfaces; the outer heel is made of Adiwear , and the studs are Quickstrike DSP . This combination also gives the sole great durability .

Instead of studs, it features lines that are more pronounced in areas where greater traction is needed. The Adizero Pro offers great adaptability thanks to the fact that the sole is not a rigid piece, but rather divided by a line, although we should clarify that this is not a flex groove.

The Adizero Pro is a racing shoe designed for lightweight runners (under 70 kg) who can run at brisk, sustained paces. Therefore , they are recommended for runners with excellent running technique.

They are perfect for those who do a lot of training on the athletics track or short sessions on asphalt.
