Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 Men's Race Shoes
The adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 is a men’s marathon racing shoe built for serious road runners chasing faster times. Designed for sealed road events from 10km through to the marathon, it suits competitive athletes who want lightweight cushioning and race day efficiency. This Hi-Res Aqua / Iron Metallic / Grey One colourway stands out on the start line while delivering the same elite performance platform.
If you are targeting a personal best on New Zealand roads, this is a purpose built race shoe.
Built for Road Racing Speed
The LIGHTSTRIKEPRO midsole provides super light cushioning with strong energy return. Over long distances on hard road surfaces, it protects your legs without feeling soft or unstable. That balance helps you maintain pace deep into a race.
The Lightlock upper delivers a snug and secure fit using a one way stretch material. It holds the foot firmly through the midfoot while allowing natural movement as your stride opens up. On race day, that locked in feel reduces internal movement and improves efficiency.
Underfoot, the Lighttraxion outsole reduces overall weight while maintaining grip. Continental rubber is placed at the toe off area for reliable traction, especially when accelerating or cornering on sealed roads. In typical NZ dry conditions it feels fast and controlled, and in damp weather it remains dependable.
This is a race focused shoe. While it can handle key workouts, it is best reserved for competition and quality sessions to extend its lifespan.
