tossin the next%. Take my money.
Is that the actual design or have the shoes been worn in a bog run? Ugly and they look slow compared next%. Disappointing. A fail from Adidas. Who's next up? I heard NB have a contender in the works.

Until Keitany wins.
Worth noting, of the 12 world marathon major course records (six courses, male and female), only three are held by people in the Vaporfly. Adidas quite a few of the course records.
It looks like the same midsole as the upcoming Adios 5, but with a thinner/lighter upper material.

Part 2..
I will agree though. That design.. not easy to identify it as an adidas shoe when someone is running by quickly. They would have been better served leaving it white with black stripes, etc.
Nice options for lacing. Heavy boost only in the heel. Will test them.
They were worn by Adidas athletes at the WC Marathon in Doha
It's being stated on social media that these Adizero Pro prototypes actually contain a carbon plate, so how 'normal' are they? What is normal these days? Are the NB, Asics, Brooks, Saucony etc protypes considered 'normal' as well? Is it just Nike shoes that are considered abnormal? I genuinely don't know anymore :-)

Seems odd that it would, considering how thin that midsole is.
According to social media, everything new these days has a carbon plate in it.
Two words: Stack. Height.
Nike makes them two feet tall. Adidas is keeping it real.
Check out rolows13 on Instagram. There's a video of someone bending this shoe like a Nike Free. Definitely not equipped with a carbon fiber plate.
Doesn't look that flexible?

try do that with next% ...or even fly fliknit
This is a shoe I'd like to try. The adizero pro was discontinued over 5 years ago, wasn't it?

Don't look that much thinner in this picture.

Imagine the possibility that not everyone is obsessed with having a carbon fiber plate in a shoe. People are stating that this shoe does, as well as other brands, completely unsubstantiated. "I heard on Instagram that it does!". Uh huh. I also heard on Instagram that Jessica Alba was avidly looking for me for a one night stand.

Yes, unfortunately it was. I had the second-last model in white/black/coral and loved them. Reminds me a lot of the current Saucony Fastwitch 9 ? (fit/feel-wise) . But tbh, without at least Boost, I don't know how they can hold up in the market. If they do have boost, it would be a good development for those who find the Adios to be too much and the Takumi Sen too less of a shoe.
(yes, that would suit me, keeping an eye open for when they drop).

What's your point? We're talking about the stack height of the shoe. It seems thinner in the first picture in this thread, but in the picture from Doha it looks thicker than the Adios. That's all.
If it's anything like the Adios 5, the Lightstrike material in the midsole just surrounds the boost, there should be boost under most of the foot. Viewed from the side, the Adios 5 has more exposed boost under the heel. But the concept seems similar.

That tweet says they weigh 225 g - about 7.9 oz -- is that true? They don't look that heavy.
