When will Adidas pick up the ball and compete with Nike in spikes? Nikes are legit half the weight of the Adidas spikes.

IMO, lighter weight does not mean faster.
Rudisha ran a 1:41.01 in Adidas spikes and Haile Gebreselassie won two Olympic gold medals and four World Championship titles in the 10,000m wearing Adidas spikes. Not even Nike's "almighty" victory spike can't say that...

Sounds like those are the ones I should get then.
The spikes don't matter when compared to the athlete wearing them.
imagine how much faster they would've ran if their were wearing nike spikes....
What you see top athletes running in are custom and not the same shoe model you can buy in stores. The spike model that Gay uses (Trinity) and the spike model Wariner uses are not even for sale, just like Nike model originally designed for Asafa. This is also likely true of what Lagat wears.
If you want some really fast spikes, though, look at the Asics Japan Lite-Ning and Japan Thunder. My athletes can't wear them due to sponsorship contract, but the Japan Lite-Ning is faster than ANYTHING Nike has.
