Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2

$500.00Race Shoe

The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 is an extremely lightweight, premium ($500) super racing shoe engineered for elite and sub-elite runners who prioritize speed and an aggressive, propulsive ride for races and fast workouts. It features unique "energy-dampening" Lightstrike Pro Evo foam and an aggressive rocker, delivering a very fast and lively experience that aids quick turnover and makes hard efforts feel easier. However, its prohibitive price, very limited durability (often showing significant outsole wear under 50 miles), and notoriously poor wet traction are major drawbacks, making it a specialized tool best suited for dry conditions and specific, faster running styles, as it can feel awkward at slower paces.

Highlights

  • Extremely lightweight construction
  • Highly responsive and bouncy ride at faster paces
  • Aggressive toe spring and rocker promote smooth, efficient transitions
  • Secure midfoot and heel lockdown
  • Improved outsole durability compared to the previous generation

Considerations

  • Poor traction on wet or painted surfaces
  • Snug, low-volume fit requiring a half-size up, particularly in the toe box
  • Awkward or inefficient ride at slower, recovery, or easy paces
  • Minimal upper construction can cause tongue bunching and potential rubbing
  • Limited midfoot stability that may be noticeable on longer runs or when fatigued
