Our Verdict
adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3
On Cloudboom Strike
The On Cloudboom Strike and the adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 are similar in weight but differ in performance. The adidas is more energetic, delivering a higher level of energy return and a more propulsive feel, making it particularly well-suited for shorter-distance racing. In contrast, the On is more stable and more cushioned, providing better underfoot protection and making it a stronger option for marathon racing, where preserving leg freshness is a priority.
