The adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 debuted in April 2026 with a remarkable innovation: weighing about 97 grams in a UK 8.5, it was adidas’ first racing shoe below 100 grams. Days later, Sabastian Sawe wore it to run 1:59:30 at the London Marathon, becoming the first person to break two hours in an official marathon. That result gives the shoe’s next re-release a story far bigger than a routine restock.

The Cloud White/Core Black/Solar Turbo colourway looks as pared back as its weight suggests. A thin white textile upper carries bold black stripes, while flashes of bright colour appear beneath the foot. Meanwhile, a thick slab of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO EVO foam gives the Evo 3 a profile of a modern marathon racer.

Much of the weight reduction comes from adidas’ new Lightstrike Pro Evo foam, which the brand says weighs nearly half as much as earlier versions. A carbon-reinforced structure around the foam provides stiffness and support, replacing the rods used in the preceding model. Continental rubber is placed at the forefoot for traction without covering the entire sole. Adidas says the complete shoe is 30% lighter than the Evo 2; those performance figures come from the brand’s testing, rather than a guarantee of what an individual runner will experience.

The adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 makes its purpose clear. Its appeal to sneaker enthusiasts also lies in seeing how far adidas has pushed a recognisable running-shoe shape in pursuit of one goal.

Following reports of a worldwide restock, the adidas UK product page lists a separate draw at 1st December for £450. Dates vary depending on the region. You can check the relevant adidas listing before planning a purchase.
