Adidas Made a Marathon Shoe That Weighs Less Than an Apple - Yanko Design
"The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 weighs in at just 97 grams in a UK size 8.5, making it the first sub-100-gram racing shoe Adidas has ever produced."
"The secret is a new construction called ENERGYRIM, a carbon-integrated design that completely rethinks how a supershoe is built."
"Adidas developed a new generation of Lightstrike Pro Evo compound that is 50% lighter than the version used in the Evo 2."
"At the marathon level, a 1.6% improvement in running economy isn't marginal. It's the kind of number that separates a podium from a personal best."
The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3, weighing only 97 grams, is the first sub-100-gram racing shoe from Adidas. It features a new construction called ENERGYRIM, which integrates carbon into the design, resulting in a shoe that is 30% lighter than its predecessor. The shoe also boasts an 11% greater forefoot energy return and a 1.6% improvement in running economy. The new Lightstrike Pro Evo compound is 50% lighter than previous versions, and the outsole has been upgraded with strategically placed Continental rubber for better performance.
