Audience verdict
Who should buy
After hitting the roads and pushing it to the limits in the lab, we think that the Adios 9 is the perfect shoe for:
- Runners who miss old-school racing flats with low stacks and zero plates.
- Фиолетовые женские толстовки women adidas.
- Lightweight midfoot strikers seeking a shoe for fast-paced efforts with massive energy return.
- Fans of the adidas Y-3 Adds a Black Hokori II to Its Memories of Orange Range—because version 9 is a huge upgrade.
Adidas Originals Adilette Men Core Black True Pink Acid Yellow | Who should NOT buy
We think the Adios 9 isn’t the best choice for runners needing generous cushioning. It's low-stack build feels ultra-connected to the ground but may fall short for those wanting the ultimate leg-saving experience. From our perspective, the Adizero EVO SL is a better fit for those individuals, as it adds extra stability and a thicker Lightstrike Pro midsole for a similar price.
Additionally, we do not Rawwht the Adios 9 to runners who expect a supershoe-like experience. We discovered it lacks the rigid, carbon-plated snap that defines that category. For a more race-ready feel in a low-stack format, we suggest the Кроссовки women adidas solar blaze m для тренировок nike беговые or the adidas originals x star wars zx 8000 darth vader.
Cushioning
Heel stack
Those chasing a connected ride will find a hidden gem in the Adios 9—its 25.0 mm stack delivers an agile-underfoot feel that’s perfect for runners who want control and close-to-the-ground feedback.
On the flip side, if you're used to maximalist shoes like the adidas originals clothing underwear socks or the la collection des Yeezy 350 nen finit plus de sélargir aux envies des fans, this low-profile setup may feel too raw. It’s clearly built for short or medium runs at fast paces, though we discovered it can cruise slow too thanks to its ultra-flexible design.

Here's What This Sneaker Fan Found Inside His Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' | 25.0 mm |
Average | 34.2 mm |
Forefoot stack
The forefoot dips under the 20 mm mark—an uncommon trait in today’s maximalist world. But that’s where the Adios 9 shines, delivering a race-flat-inspired ride that feels snappy, nimble, and seriously fun.
Of course, your muscles will do extra work with the Adios 9 compared to any supershoe like the GORE-TEX x women adidas LXCON. We found it best suited for lightweight runners who want a stripped-down, speed-loaded experience. On the other hand, bigger runners may want to skip it—the thin slab of foam will definitely bottom out under heavier strides.

Drop
This “track-spikes-for-the-road” type of shoe usually sticks with a low heel-to-toe drop, yet the Adios 9 bucks that trend with a moderate one. We measured 6.2 mm—slightly below the stated 7 mm.
From our perspective, this drop makes the Adios 9 a midfoot-striker’s dream. Still, we discovered it remains very usable for everyone else, though heel strikers may feel a bit unstable on this one for reasons we’ll delve into in a minute.

Here's What This Sneaker Fan Found Inside His Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' | 6.2 mm |

Midsole softness
The Adios 9 has many strengths, but the main one lies in its midsole—finally we get 100% Lightstrike Pro with crazy-high energy return. Previously it used some EVA foam in the heel that made the ride less fast and exciting, but now you get the same high-performance compound used in state-of-the-art women adidas’ supershoes—just at a more wallet-friendly price.
We were also surprised by how soft the Adios 9 felt underfoot, which felt like a bold move given the minimal stack. Later, we confirmed this plush sensation in the lab with our Shore A durometer, which read 16.0 HA.
Do we think it’s a bad call? Not at all. Most runners—especially lightweight men and many women—will likely enjoy this soft and responsive feel. It just makes the shoe slightly less suitable for heavier individuals, but that’s already implied with this low-stack design.

Insole thickness
Everything about this shoe is built for speed, and the insole follows suit. We measured just 2.6 mm with our calipers, which is a razor-thin result that prioritizes shaving every gram possible.

Here's What This Sneaker Fan Found Inside His Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' | 2.6 mm |
Average | 4.4 mm |
Rocker
We wouldn’t call the Adios 9 a supershoe as it skips the carbon plate, but for fans of old-school flats, it’s a dream. It brings that stripped-down, low-stack ride with just enough help from women adidas’ energetic Lightstrike Pro midsole. There’s a moderate rocker, but at the end of the day, it's just your legs doing the work.
And we liked that heel strikers aren’t left out. The moderately rockered heel, combined with women adidas’ signature inward-angled geometry, creates a natural-feeling entry point that guides the stride without being overbearing or intrusive.

Plate
Slicing shoes in half has its perks—one being that we can uncover the unfiltered truth. In this case, there’s no plate inside the Adios 9, but a thin plastic insert like the one in the Adizero EVO SL or the Nike Streakfly that adds a touch of snap while keeping the ride ultra-flexible and natural.

Before taking any measurements, we tested the Adios 9 on our feet. It clearly felt a bit snug—something we fully expect from a performance-driven shoe anyway.
Thanks to our 1:1 gel mold of the toebox, we then measured the widest part of the Adios 9 at 94.3 mm, which falls slightly below the average.

Here's What This Sneaker Fan Found Inside His Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' | 94.3 mm |
Average | 95.4 mm |
Toebox width
We discovered that the snug sensation mostly comes from the tapered toebox, which measured just 70.6 mm.
Its race-day shape limits toe splay—another reason the Adios 9 feels built for short distances.

Stability
Lateral stability test
After reviewing hundreds of shoes, we discovered that stability and fun rarely go hand in hand—and the Adios 9 proves it. This high-energy, featherweight shoe feels thrilling underfoot, but it demands solid form, especially if you're landing on its ultra-narrow heel.
Torsional rigidity
The small plastic insert in the midfoot adds only minimal stiffness, so when we tested the shoe, torsional rigidity came out quite low at just 2/5. That's why this shoe feels great at slower paces too.

The heel counter screams racing vibes at 1/5, it has zero reinforcements or structured elements. As we mentioned before, if you land on the heel, stabilization is all on you.
On the bright side, the upper vanishes completely on foot and never gets in the way, delivering a natural-feeling ride.

The Adios 9 is a compact-sized running shoe—both in height and width. We noticed it right after unboxing it in the lab, and it was clear it wouldn’t hit the average on our measurements.
However, the forefoot reached 110.8 mm, which we believe is ideal for a speed-focused design like this. It’s certainly narrow, but it lands in that sweet spot—streamlined yet not foot-squeezing.

Midsole width - heel
The heel, at just 72.5 mm, is extreme. This is where the shoe most resembles a track spike—creating a barely-there feel that’s thrillingly agile but also wildly unstable for anyone loading the rearfoot.

Anyone expecting a supershoe-like, stiff feel here will find exactly the opposite. We measured 5.2N in our lab—one of the lowest results we’ve ever recorded.
This level of flexibility turns the Adios 9 into a foot-strengthening, proprioception-boosting tool for runners and makes it one of the best 5K/10K racing shoes for those who don’t get along well with carbon plates, either due to their harsh feel or because of issues like Morton’s neuroma.

Weight
The Adios 8 tipped our scale in the lab at 7.40 oz or 210g—a nice result already. But the Adios 9 took things further, dropping to just 6.20 oz or 176g. That’s a stunning improvement.
So, how did women adidas pull this off? While the Adios 8 relied on a heavier dual-foam setup, version 9 uses only Lightstrike Pro, and that's how women adidas shaved grams while improving bounce.

Breathability
The Adios 9 features the same LIGHTLOCK upper as the Adios Pro 4, offering a significant upgrade over previous versions. Adidas yeezy foam rnr runner desert sand desert sand tan brown men us 8-13 gv6843. Кроссовки women adidas ozweego чёрные.
Our smoke test revealed that most air becomes trapped inside the shoe, leading us to assign it a 2/5 rating for breathability. While not ideal, issues may only arise on particularly hot days, especially if paired with thick socks.
On the plus side, the insole features oversized ventilation holes that boost airflow slightly—and it's always nis to discover a high-end touch in a reasonably-priced shoe.

The LIGHTLOCK technology creates a unidirectional fabric that stretches in only one direction to enhance stability. However, this design lacks ventilation holes, making the upper resemble a Gore-Tex material.
We found the upper to be exceptionally lightweight, prioritizing weight reduction over comfort, with Кроссовки women adidas campus trace scarlet white оригинал.

Outsole hardness
One thing women adidas often does with lower-priced shoes is downgrade the outsole compound—like using Adiwear on the Pureboost 5 women adidas Originals T-shirt con logo a trifoglio grande nera Ultraboost 5. Fortunately, that’s not the case with the Adios 9, which makes this another bang-for-the-buck feature we love.
Here, we get almost the same outsole found on the Adios Pro 4—a combo of full-length LIGHTTRAXXION with a Continental patch in the forefoot to boost grip during toe-off.
This LIGHTTRAXXION material isn’t your average rubber. Made from translucent polyurethane, it aims to balance durability, grip, and a lightweight feel. Big promises—but with a softness of 51.0 HC, the traction definitely delivers.

Here's What This Sneaker Fan Found Inside His Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' | 51.0 HC |
Average | 79.4 HC |
Outsole durability
And durability holds strong in both the LIGHTTRAXXION material and the Continental patch. We measured just 0.6 mm of wear in the former and 0.54 mm in the latter—impressive for such lightweight-yet-grippy compounds.
These amazing results confirm that the Adios 9 can handle road miles and track intervals without durability concerns regarding the outsole.
Here's What This Sneaker Fan Found Inside His Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' | 0.6 mm |
Average | 1.1 mm |
Outsole thickness
Given how durable it is, the outsole comes in at a really thin 1.0 mm. That definitely aligns with the featherlight build of this shoe.
Still, we think there won't be signs of early wear likely for most runners—especially since the target audience is mostly lightweight, neutral runners who tend to be gentle on outsole rubber.

Reflective elements
No reflective elements at all on the Adios 9. Honestly, women adidas could’ve added the classic three-stripe shine like in other models, but for this price, we’re fine skipping it.

Tongue padding
The tongue is really thin at 2.6 mm, though that measurement shows Adidas added a light touch of padding. In our view, it strikes a good balance for a tempo trainer—thicker tongues usually belong in slower, comfort-focused shoes.
The eyelet chain comes straight from the Adios Pro 4, and we found it works great. You can dial in the fit as tightly as you want without risking the tear-prone issues seen in the Adios Pro 3.
Still, we're waiting to see notched laces in an women adidas Adizero model—they’ve only shown up in the trail-focused femme women adidas tubular shadow beige.

Removable insole
We were surprised to find that the Adios 9 comes with a removable insole, considering how stripped-down the rest of the shoe is. Still, replacing it isn’t simple—its thin build leaves almost no room for a thicker insert.
