Have tried to get my hands on these but always miss the drop and only ones i see are usually priced up.
I always liked the adidas Adizero boost 3 as a racer probably my favourite before the carbon plates came on the scene. I have used the Vaporfly in previous marathons but my itch to try the Adidas version won't go away.
What are people's impression of these compared to the Next %, does it have as much pop??
I doubt that you will find many people who have tried both.
use the search function - there have been some longish threads about this.

I wear one on each foot. I have found the adizero to provide more bounce and better return/stride length when on my right foot. However, this leaves my stride very rotated.
Adizero Pro or Adios Pro? Two different shoes.
I have both.
The next% is only slightly better for me when running faster than ~10km pace (3:00-3:10/km) but it is very very close. On a track I think the next% is a bit better with the more aggressive forefoot.
For road workouts I prefer the Adios Pro as it feels a bit more stable and has a bit more to it so warmup, workout, cool down don't leave your lower legs feeling tired.
The ZoomX has a slightly higher "popping" feeling off the ground, and the Adios Pro feels a bit smoother.
For the price differential, I'd probably buy another pair of the Adios Pro over the Next% given the chance. I'd go with Next% anything under 10 miles, equal between both from 10mi through 25km, then slightly prefer Adios Pro for anything 25km and up. Hope this helps!
Yeah sorry the adios pro, the new half marathon record breaker. Never get my head around the Adidas marketing and naming of its shoes, all sound so familar.

Yes thank you, was thinking about the marathon distsnce so the adios pro. I liked the Next % but i definitely found it unstable.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
