The adizero Adios has built a legacy as a race and fast day shoe that delivers modern performance while maintaining the traditional feel of a racing flat. The Adios 8 builds on that reputation with some exciting upgrades. The standout feature is the Lightstrike Pro foam in the forefoot, which is the brand's softest and most resilient foam that provides the perfect amount of pop during toe-offs. The midsole also boasts Lightstrike 2.0 foam in the heel, which is denser than Lightstrike Pro to offer a stable landing, while still being lighter and softer than the previous version to keep you running fast and efficiently. EnergyTorsion Rods 2.0 sit underneath the foams to maximize their functionality, providing a propulsive and snappy experience to your run. The outsole features strategically placed layers of Continental rubber for superior grip in any weather condition, while the super lightweight mesh upper delivers a sleek and secure race-fit feel, complete with strategically placed overlays for structure and support. Overall, the adidas adizero Adios 8 continues to be a fantastic option for experienced runners who want a closer to the ground feel during races or fast-paced runs.
