If Adizero Adios Pro 3 is just the bigger brother of the Takumi Sen 8, that’s a winner for me. Patiently waiting for cheaper prices. Lightstrike pro to me is the only super foam that gets better with more miles …imo
Just ran my first marathon two days ago and this was what I was wearing. They are as comfortable a cruiser over distance as you could ever want. (Although I wish mine were purple 🥺) Great vid as usual 👍🏻
Edd I am still using the Adidas Adios Adizero Pro 2 , I think that is a fantastic shoe , purchased at discount from one of your monthly reviews. I am not the faster runner ever , simply I am Mr. Joe Average , but recorded my fastest 10K this year at the weekend in the Famous Redcar Running Festival . You need to get yourself here next year and set a PB in which ever distance you fancy(5K,10K,HM) . But the Pro 2 is great , so when the Pro 3 goes to a discount price I will be after that next. Keep up the good work EDD , from your friends in the North
I like how you said you could run the adios pro 3 everyday and then the camera shot changed and then you said that you have been running it everyday, as if it was a guilty pleasure. 😅 You make funny fun content.
That's the video I was waiting for!! Excellent!! Thanks a lot, Edd, I probably will buy the Adios Pro 3 next year, as I already bought the AP2 just two months ago, on sales.
Great comparison video. Got my Adios pro 3s for 40% off. I was looking for another model but at that price I snapped up another half marathon to marathon racer. Used if for my half Ironman race recently and loved the comfort and responsiveness of the shoe. I swapped out the laces tho. That would be the only downside to this shoe and across the adidas line up.
Hope that means they’re gearing up to release the adios pro 3 strung. That would be a great combo considering the improvements of the prime x strung vs og prime x
Fantastic video as always, and I was surprised that Puma got the nod. My request for a video is this: putting aside versatility, durability, and price, which shoe would you choose for a marathon? I agree the Vaporfly isn’t too versatile, but that’s not what matters to me when choosing a marathon race shoe. … You could even do your favorite race show for each distance from 5k up to marathon. I’m sure these stellar ideas have never occurred to you, and naturally I’ll be expecting a producer credit ;-)
For me all day I thoroughly, thoroughly, really enjoy the adidas adios adizero pro 3 over all others , I cannot say about the puma fastr as I don’t have them , but probably adidas as they are so versatile, I think with the sen 8, prime x adidas have a superb line up for quick versatile shoes
Thanks for the intel, Edd. I’m currently pondering a new pair of race shoes, so this is very valuable! As for CCR, how good is that performance?! Not sure if you’ve yet caught the accompanying Netflix doco on them, it has the concert in full as well as some background and tour footage. Such a great and often under-appreciated rock band.
Thank you!! I thought it was just me. I had the Vaporfly next% 2 and every time I'd go runs longer that 3 miles the arc part of my foot would start getting poked at which would get worse the longer I run. I really tried to like it but it was getting to painful. I had to return and get a refund.That's also the reason I didn't get the Alphaflys, tried them on at the Nike store and that was the 1st thing I felt poking at the arc of my feet. I almost use the adizero pro 3 for most of my runs.
Liking the CCR recommendation! I’m use learning guitar and there’s a few of their songs that I’m working towards 😀 I suppose I should something shoe related while I’m on… I always used to buy Adidas shoes and then it felt like they had got obsessed with celeb tie-ins while other brands were innovating. It’s great to see they’re back to making great running shoes. Just got a pair of Prime X Strung and might well look at the Pro 3 as a next purchase 😊
Put the Metaspeed sky plus through its paces in the Melbourne marathon, no issues with the shoe at all! Feels like a perfect shoe to me, obviously everyone is different and usually agree with your findings Ed, but that one shoe is top for me!
I love your collection, Edd. I really like the way you went through all of them 😂 it was like street fighter 2 tournament 🙏 but my favourite is still Vaporfly Next% 2.
hey , i m a 85 kg runner i want to choose one for my first marathon between adios pro 3 versus endorphin pro 3 . i want to finish between 4 hr anf 4hr and a half , which one would you recomend? thanks
Would you recommend the adizero adios pro 3 or the metaspeed sky plus for heavy runners (85kg)? You mentioned the firmness of the metapseed, maybe an advantage for the extra weight, do you have any recommentations? Never had problems with shoes of those two brands.
It’s a golden era for racing shoes, but my prior Puma experience suggests it would be the pick over mixed surfaces and in inclement weather. Is the Pumagrip as tenacious as it is in other applications?
First of all. Love your videos. I like how you call the asics meta speed sky a 10 towards HM shoe. Would the metaspeed Edge be the one you will call a long run or marathon racing shoe then?
@@EDDBUD well they look the same but there are some big differances. There is more drop in the edge and also there is a differance im the placing of the plate compared by the two shoes. So i was curious if you knew the differance will make the edge more suiting for long distance racing/training.
I know I am late to the party. Your last comment that there's a lot to chew on or did you say shoe on? I need to listen to it a couple of times to know for sure, like listening to Spill the Wine by War where I swear they're singing "do I dig that girl" at times. Great review as always! 👍
I wasn't quite sure which of the Adios Pro 3 or Vaporfly NEXT% 2 you actually prefer? That said you seem to imply you like the Puma Fast-R the most out of all of them?
I liked the Adidas pro 2 better. was softer. using pro 3 now for most runs. I do prefer the alpha fly and Adidas x. just ordered Saucony pro 3. so you really didn't give a decisive review. I guess you can't because you want the shoes to keep coming in. if you had 1 shoe and only one which would it be ed
Nice comparisons Edd..I have all shoes but I haven't run in the puma fastr yet..acquired a hip issue from a couple of higher drop shoes that I can't stop trying to make work for me..of the ones you compared the alphafly is definitely the most reliable and runner friendly for me..the others have some redeeming qualities but only the alphafly has all the things that work for me at any distance..hopefully I will get to use the puma fastr soon and see if it compares to the alphafly..good to see you are doing better 👍 😀
Very interesting video. I love the Vaporfly but they are very unstable at low speed that there are a few roads I need to avoid.. Alphafly V1 is not a good option because I am a heel striker and I need to tip toe in them and it shredded my calf.. So.. It the Adios Pro 3 more stable in the heels? Suit for slow runs?
Got a pair of these Pro 3s last week, it's definitely cheating, so I rushed to TKMax (on a hint) and managed to get a pair of Pro 2s for 49 earth credits! The Pro 3s were 220! But, the Pro 3s are faster, without a doubt. I'm only 3 months into running and trying loads of shoes but now that I've run in these it's really hard to run in anything else. Oh and CCC at the Albert Hall sounds amazing 😁

Yes like a super version of it. Works a treat
It's on Clearance at Running Warehouse for $174.88. A great price!
I managed to get a pair on keller-sports for £150 if you're in the UK, premium membership and code: SUMMERSALE, only one colour though at that price
I feel like it was a Christmas miracle. Picked up the Pro3 and Takumi Sen8 for 50% off on adidas.

That color way is pimp! Have not seen it yet in the USA. West Michigan man here. Thanks boss
A nice selection of supershoes in this comparison. 👍🏻

Feels like there's only a Beast's whisker amongst them 🐈 If only I knew where Freddie the Frog's gold was hidden I could have them all 😉
The Gene Simmons blush comment brought memories back about those crazy costumes.
My dad had some insane platforms in the 70’s
By the way, I have been training in Boston 11 and adiozero 7. Best line of shoes for my feet.
Boston 11 SUCH an underrated shoe! 👏

Just brilliant info and entertaining ed 👏👏👏 thank you , CCR don't get much better then that , classic music at its best 👌
Australian prices for pro 3 360$ what a joke 😤😤😤 , will not try that any time soon 😤
Wearing the Adios Pro 3 in Chicago this weekend! First time racing in Adidas!
Me too! I have had good results with the Takumi Sen 8 for 5K and I will also give the Pro 3 a go in Chicago.
@@cmo3 good luck!
@@michaeldominic2070 Hey thanks! You as well! Should be great running weather!

Adidas really hitting the spot right now

Not sure if you’ve yet caught the accompanying Netflix doco on them, it has the concert in full as well as some background and tour footage. Such a great and often under-appreciated rock band.
The film docu was smashing. Brilliant simple rock and roll.
Saw CCR at Atlanta Pop in 69 or 70. They were playing just as the sun came up. Opened with Born on the Bayou.
Amazing stuff. Would loved to have seen such a sight!
A brilliant review again, Edd 👌
Many thanks!

I know one runner saved up, bought them and returned them without using them in anger due to this issue
Liking the CCR recommendation! I’m use learning guitar and there’s a few of their songs that I’m working towards 😀 I suppose I should something shoe related while I’m on… I always used to buy Adidas shoes and then it felt like they had got obsessed with celeb tie-ins while other brands were innovating.

CCR have some of the best “guitar” tones. No FX just good solid sounds.
Thank you for the review!! This has helped with my decision on a new carbon marathon shoe. I have only ran in the Boston 11 for adidas.
Glad it helped out 👍🏼👊
@@EDDBUD I ordered the adios pro 3 for a discounted price.
Put the Metaspeed sky plus through its paces in the Melbourne marathon, no issues with the shoe at all! Feels like a perfect shoe to me, obviously everyone is different and usually agree with your findings Ed, but that one shoe is top for me!
Can't wait for Black Friday/Christmas… hopefully Adidas gives us a discount on these badboys to celebrate the holidays.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Let’s hope so!
Love the music references
Glad you enjoy this Craig. So much good music out there.
I love your collection, Edd. I really like the way you went through all of them 😂 it was like street fighter 2 tournament 🙏 but my favourite is still Vaporfly Next% 2.
06:15 hahahaha i love you mate!!!!!!
Hey Ed. I have a hilly marathon in Hawaii, should I go with the Endorphin 3 or Adios Pro 3? Thanks.
Pro 3 for me the better shoe overall. But the rods work for me up hills.
What a performance that was (Rainbow)!!!
Fantastic music. Energy and verve!
Hard to beat the Adidas Pro!
That Puma reminds me of two shoes… Reebok InstaPump Fury and adidas POD-S3.1.
The Ramones and CCR in the same upload? 😎
✌🏽💙🏃🏽♂️
✌🏽💙👟
hey , i m a 85 kg runner i want to choose one for my first marathon between adios pro 3 versus endorphin pro 3 . i want to finish between 4 hr anf 4hr and a half , which one would you recomend? thanks
The pro 3 is softer. The adidas a smoother shoe
so the adios pro it is ,let s see how is it going
Would you recommend the adizero adios pro 3 or the metaspeed sky plus for heavy runners (85kg)?
You mentioned the firmness of the metapseed, maybe an advantage for the extra weight, do you have any recommentations?
Never had problems with shoes of those two brands.
Pro 3. It’s more stable and less compressive but the rods make it a snappy ride.
@@EDDBUD thx for the fast answer, cheers!
Another live CCR recording years ago: Bad Moon rRsing, Fogerty actually sings "there's a bathroom on the right". Instead of "bad moon on the rise"
😂
Adios pro 3,alphafly 2 or vaporfly 3 for a marathon?? Which do you guys think is best?
Pro 3 gets my vote
Thanks Edd, appreciate it. Merry Christmas
It’s a golden era for racing shoes, but my prior Puma experience suggests it would be the pick over mixed surfaces and in inclement weather. Is the Pumagrip as tenacious as it is in other applications?
Lovey outsole on those right now in the uk cooler conditions.
First of all. Love your videos. I like how you call the asics meta speed sky a 10 towards HM shoe. Would the metaspeed Edge be the one you will call a long run or marathon racing shoe then?
Not tried the edge though can’t see how it would be that different to the sky plus.
@@EDDBUD well they look the same but there are some big differances. There is more drop in the edge and also there is a differance im the placing of the plate compared by the two shoes. So i was curious if you knew the differance will make the edge more suiting for long distance racing/training.
So I love my prime x. it's still in great shape. do I need to get the strung. is the upper that much better
It’s a good upgrade though if your originals are doing fine I say use them up.
Im all about the 3 stripe life...
I know I am late to the party. Your last comment that there's a lot to chew on or did you say shoe on? I need to listen to it a couple of times to know for sure, like listening to Spill the Wine by War where I swear they're singing "do I dig that girl" at times. Great review as always! 👍
It can be which ever is better. More to “shoe on” seems more humorous.
You can find the adios pro 3 for 200€ at some shops
Which shops would these be
What do you prefer to run short run since 200 to 800 metres at 3:00 or 2:50. Adiós pro 3 or takumi sen 8? Muy weigh is 88 kg thanks you so much
Sen 8 for that distance
What do you estimate IS the durability (mileage) of the Adidas PRO 3?
Well my slight skeleton like frame seems to barely touch the continental rubber. After 100 miles in the pro 2 I had little to no wear.
Nice!
Silver
Is the foam softer on the Vaporfly Next% 2 than the Adios Pro 3?
Slightly different feel from each. The Vaporfly is more brittle and like packing foam. The adidas feels a bit more like a shoe!
Heel stack would make prince jealous
He would have loved the colours too.
did you get heelrubbing with the adios pro 3?
No nothing at all.
VAPORFLY NEXT% 2 destroyed my feet and toes, where the original Alphafly my feet never hurt.
Never found them too harsh. The v1 was worse for toe destruction.
Yup!!!
Yo!
Edd, I know you're gonna get the Prime X Strung, so please compare with the Pro 3 when you can. Thanks.
No willpower at all. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
I heard people saying the strung upper is dreamy, so I won't be surprised if they make a pro 3 with a strung upper.
@@EDDBUD hahahaha love it.
I wasn't quite sure which of the Adios Pro 3 or Vaporfly NEXT% 2 you actually prefer? That said you seem to imply you like the Puma Fast-R the most out of all of them?
No the Puma vs the Adios pro 3. It’s each shoe vs that.
@@EDDBUD I thought you said you like the Adios Pro 3 better than any of the others except the Puma hence me inferring you like the Puma most of all ?
@@TimGrose Tim we need your Pro3 shoe off for us data junkies 😁
@@lifephorce Will try and do that soon as got a planned session coming up I can probably work in 2 shoes :)
Would you take the pro 3 on a loose gravel path?
Yes I don’t see why not. Ran a half trail half road 10k race in the sen 8 and it was dynamite!
I liked the Adidas pro 2 better. was softer. using pro 3 now for most runs. I do prefer the alpha fly and Adidas x. just ordered Saucony pro 3. so you really didn't give a decisive review. I guess you can't because you want the shoes to keep coming in. if you had 1 shoe and only one which would it be ed
It’s each shoe against the adidas. Not an overall winner. As per the title
