AdidasAdizero Adios Pro Evo 2
Powered by Lightstrike Pro Evo foam and carbon-infused EnergyRods 2.0, the Adios Pro Evo 2 delivers unmatched efficiency, propulsion, and ultralight speed over the marathon distance. Refined, relentless, and record-ready, it’s built for runners who demand nothing less than the absolute edge.
Details
The adidas adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 redefines what’s possible in marathon racing, proving once again that adidas refuses to stand still at the top. Building on the revolutionary impact of the original, this second generation features meticulous, top-to-bottom refinements engineered to deliver the most advanced long-distance racing experience ever created. Every update serves a singular purpose: to help you run faster, longer, and more efficiently than you thought possible.
At the core is Lightstrike Pro Evo superfoam, crafted without compression molding to unlock unprecedented weight savings and explosive responsiveness. The midsole geometry is re-sculpted with additional forefoot foam and a revised rocker point, enhancing energy return, accelerating transitions, and maximizing running economy deep into the race. Paired with carbon-infused EnergyRods 2.0, the system delivers seamless propulsion and stability that feels effortless at marathon pace.
The redesigned ultralight mesh upper disappears on foot, providing race-ready lockdown with absolute minimalism. Underneath, an advanced rubber outsole uses strategic cutouts across a generous contact area to reduce weight while dramatically improving grip—especially on wet roads. Precision-built and uncompromising in execution, the Adios Pro Evo 2 stands as the pinnacle of modern marathon racing innovation.
MIDSOLE
- Lightstrike Pro Evo superfoam is uncompressed supercritical foam that's sculpted into shape, not molded. This latest formulation is tuned for the goal of creating the greatest rebound-to-weight ratio ever.
- Energy Rods 2.0 are made of carbon fiber-infused polymer and shaped to match the revised rocker point for optimal running economy. Unlike a carbon plate, they naturally mirror your metatarsals. They extend full-length for lightning-quick turnover and powerful propulsion.
OUTSOLE
- Proprietary rubber compound now features a traction-enhancing pattern of cutouts throughout its ample coverage area.
UPPER
- Engineered mesh secures your feet with featherweight material for powerful racing.
