Details

The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 stands at the forefront of marathon racing innovation — an elite-level shoe engineered for uncompromising efficiency, propulsion, and endurance. Building on its world-record lineage, this fourth-generation model refines every component for a lighter, smoother, and more explosive ride over 26.2 miles and beyond.


At its core, an updated dual-layer Lightstrike Pro midsole delivers exceptional energy return and fatigue resistance through a softer, more resilient superfoam. The enhanced rocker geometry promotes seamless forward momentum, while full-length carbon-infused Energy Rods 2.0 create a rigid yet responsive propulsion platform — maximizing running economy and sustaining speed from the first mile to the last.


Underfoot, a combination of Lighttraxion GCPU and Continental™ rubber provides full-length traction and targeted grip at toe-off. This precision construction ensures durability and control exactly where it’s needed most, without adding unnecessary weight.


Up top, the Adios Pro 4 features a newly re-engineered Micro Fit upper, designed with one-way stretch mesh that conforms naturally to the foot while maintaining structure through an integrated LIGHTLOCK band. The result is a breathable, race-ready lockdown that disappears on the run — delivering pure focus and efficiency.


Every detail of the Adizero Adios Pro 4 is purpose-built to redefine marathon performance. From its sculpted rocker to its carbon propulsion system, this shoe embodies the pursuit of speed, precision, and victory for athletes chasing their fastest finish yet.


MIDSOLE 

  • Lightstrike Pro superfoam is lighter, softer, and bouncier than before, with a new rocker point geometry. 
  • Carbon Energy Rods 2.0 extend full-length, mirroring your metatarsals, for a smooth and speedy transition through toe-off. 

OUTSOLE 

  • GCPU compound is cast polyurethane, offering strong grip and flexible durability while keeping weight to a minimum. 
  • Continental rubber at toe-off delivers additional protection and traction. 

UPPER 

  • Micro Fit one-way stretch material is hyperlight, soft, breathable, and flexible, for the lowest weight with support where it's needed most. 
  • LIGHTLOCK narrow band runs from the eyelet row into the heel, with minimally stitched tongue attachment points, for foot lockdown. 
  • Slinglaunch heel fit completes the foot lockdown. 
  • Heel blinker folding pull tab features a hidden message!
