As the lowest-stacked sibling of the adidas adizero racing family including the Takumi Sen, Adios Pro, and Adios Pro Evo, the Adios 9 is a razor-honed flat to destroy 3K to 10K races and track workouts. The headline update for this version is the full-length Lightstrike Pro superfoam midsole, removing any usage of Lightstrike 2.0. Also gone are the EnergyTorsion Rods 2.0, in favor of a simple and effective midfoot nylon shank. Together, these changes yield higher energy return and significantly greater flexibility.
The new Micro Fit upper's soft one-way stretch material flaunts enhanced comfort, while the integrated LIGHTLOCK band and Slinglaunch heel ensure foot security with minimal materials. Lastly, the new Lighttraxion GCPU outsole reduces weight to an absolute minimum, while retaining a sticky Continental rubber toe-off patch.
