Our Verdict
adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3
adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4
The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 and adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 are both long-distance super shoes, but the Pro 4 brings some key updates. It's lighter, more responsive, and more cushioned thanks to a fully redesigned midsole. The upper was also reworked, resulting in a noticeably tighter fit in the forefoot. While both shoes are inherently unstable due to their tall stack and narrow platform, the Pro 3 was slightly more stable overall. The third version also has a firmer forefoot, which gives it an edge for shorter distances or runners who prefer a snappier toe-off.
