Critic consensus
from 10 reviewsThe Adidas Adizero Prime X 3 Strung is a towering maximalist shoe that offers immense impact protection and exceptional outsole durability. Reviewers are divided on its ride, as some enjoy a propulsive spring while others find the dense platform overly firm and cumbersome. It best suits runners seeking an ultra-cushioned cruiser for high-mileage marathon training rather than a nimble racer.

A shoe earns a tag as soon as one reviewer recommends it for that kind of run; the count shows how many agree. Mentions include synonyms, so “recovery”, “zone 2” and “conversational” all count toward Easy.

The shoe lacks the magic feel of the original Prime X and feels like a step backward, being even less enjoyable than the V2.

A worthy successor that embodies the unbridled chaos of the Prime X name, being the wildest Prime X yet.

A continued improvement in the series, offering a superb upper fit and a stable, albeit firm, high-stack ride.

The Adizero Prime X 3 Strung is best suited as a highly cushioned and durable daily trainer for accumulating high mileage.
