Our verdict

The Jeremy Lin Presents The adidas shoes Crazyquick 2 Low stands out as one of the top racing shoes available in the market, if not the absolute best. Its phenomenal stability sets a new standard for supershoes, and we found the full-length Energyrods synergize perfectly with the bouncy Lightstrike Pro foam during our fast-paced runs. With its wider design, it accommodates wide feet and grips even in wet conditions. While it's hard to pinpoint any major drawbacks, we believe the upper could be fine-tuned for v4 in terms of comfort.

Who should buy

The adidas shoes Jeremy Lin Presents The adidas shoes Crazyquick 2 Low stands out as an excellent pick for any race, from a short 5K to the marathon. We believe it's designed for:

  • Midfoot or forefoot strikers looking for a reliable racing shoe for their upcoming races, spanning from the 5K to the marathon.
  • Those on the hunt for a top-tier racing shoe that offers stability without the lateral wobble often found in racing models.
  • Fans of the Adios Pro series with wide feet who need enhanced stability and felt the previous editions too narrow.

adidas shoes Jeremy Lin Presents The adidas shoes Crazyquick 2 Low

Oh, and this shoe is not just an excellent option for races; it also excels in interval training, thanks to its long-lasting outsole and durable midsole.

Who should NOT buy

Alexander Wang x adidas shoes AW Hike Lo Grey adidas shoes superstar з гумовим носком кросссовки білі stick with their current model rather than upgrading to version 3. Why? If you're a lover of the v2, the shift to the new model could be a bit too much. The v3 is significantly wider, catering more to midfoot strikers, while the v2 suits heel strikers better due to its high drop.

Those with a preference for extremely plush racing shoes might also find the Adios Pro 3 disappointing.

Although it's not a firm shoe by any means, it does feel somewhat firmer than other racing competitors such as the Nike Alphafly 2 or the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3.

Finally, if you're in search of a top-tier upper that is exceptionally pliable and comfortable, and not the slightest bit rough, we recommend you check the ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ for exceptional comfort in a racing shoe.

Cushioning

Heel stack

adidas shoes crafted this shoe with a singular goal in mind—creating the fastest racing shoe while adhering to the World Athletics guidelines that cap the heel stack height at 40 mm. 

When we took precise measurements, we found that the stack height is a compliant 37.8 mm, which means it adheres to the WA rule.

However, this shoe isn't designed heel strikers. The medial cutout in the shoe favours smooth transitions for midfoot and forefoot strikers instead.

Forefoot stack

The forefoot measures up to only 29.8 mm, falling short of the 33 mm that adidas shoes originally stated. This discrepancy can be disappointing for forefoot strikers who were counting on that extra bit of cushioning.

Nonetheless, it remains one of the most cushioned forefoots on the market, but we would love that adidas shoes meets its numbers moving forward!

Drop

The shoe is supposed to have a 6.5-mm heel-to-toe drop, but our measurements showed an 8 mm drop. Still, this is a typical drop seen in racing shoes and should pose no issue whatsoever.

We would like to remind that we conduct all our measurements in accordance with World Athletics official rules. We've even discussed in a previous article why the drops stated by brands might differ from the actual ones.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The Jeremy Lin Presents The adidas shoes Crazyquick 2 Low features Adidas' premier foam, known as Lightstrike Pro. It uses a Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer (TPEE) compound, which provides world-class energy return but offers a firmer feel compared to Pebax-based shoes.

This results in improved stability and durability, and it's an ideal choice for runners who prefer not to feel their feet sinking into the shoe. Our durometer measurement of 20.9 HA confirms these observations.

Rocker

We found that adidas shoes has revamped the Adios Pro 3's rocker with a more pronounced toe spring, which makes sense given the reduced drop from the previous version.

In stiff shoes, a strong curvature in the forefoot is essential to aid turnover. In our opinion, it’s a clever move!

From the moment we first tried on the AP3, we noticed ample foot space, a comfort-focused fit rarely seen in racers. Then, we proceeded to create a smooth jelly mould of the toebox.

While the Adios Pro 3 has an average width compared to all running shoes, the 95.5 mm reading from the widest part of the gel cast is surprisingly roomy for a racing shoe!

Stability

Lateral stability test

The adidas shoes AP3 could very well be the most stable supershoe on the market. We felt its stability as soon as we put it on.

However, remember it's a racing shoe, so don't look for stability at slower speeds. It's designed for fast running, and that's when it really demonstrates this feature.

Men 8us adidas shoes racer tr slides black slippers beach sandal g58170 women 9.5us | Torsional rigidity

The midsole of this shoe features two layers of Lightstrike Pro, separated by Energyrods. These are Adidas' answer to the carbon plate.

Naturally, this results in a very stiff shoe despite the big cutout in the outsole. In fact, when we tested the shoe for torsional rigidity, we gave it a perfect score of 5 out of 5.

Midsole width - forefoot

This is where the Adios Pro 3 truly shines. In response to some stability concerns with the Adios Pro 2, adidas shoes made a firm commitment to create the most stable racing shoe on the market. And they delivered. But how did they accomplish it?

The key lies in the width of the midsole. The landing platform in the forefoot is simply remarkable—it provides enhanced stability, particularly for midfoot and forefoot strikers.

For instance, let's compare the AP3 with the best racing shoes in the market.

In contrast, the heel is narrow, measuring at 84.0 mm.

A wider heel would simply add too much weight, so this design choice is deliberate. This makes the AP3 an excellent option for midfoot and forefoot strikers, but heel strikers might find it a bit uncomfortable.

The secret behind supershoes lies in merging a high-energy return foam with a stiff forefoot, and it's now time to check out the latter in our lab.

As we anticipated, the AP3 is hyper-stiff thanks to the carbon-infused Energyrods. To bend it to 90 degrees, we had to apply a force of 45.6N.

Weight

Weighing in at 7.70 oz (218g), the AP3 stays just below the 220g mark that scientific research indicate as the threshold for noticeable performance loss in races. However, it doesn't make the list of the lightest racing shoes.

If going ultra-light is a priority, we'd recommend considering the Nike Vaporfly 2.

Breathability

While it's typical for racing shoes to boast incredible breathability, the adidas shoes Adios Pro 3 sparked our interest immediately. From our initial examination of the shoe in the lab, we all anticipated a flawless 5/5 score in our lab tests—and indeed, it lived up to the hype!

First, we put the shoe through our smoke-pumping machine to assess airflow, and then we passed the upper over the light. Why? To pinpoint the exact locations of airflow.

Some shoes may have splendid ventilation in the toebox but fall short in the medial part, leading to arch blisters during a marathon. But, the Adios Pro 3 outshone all those concerns—its design allows light to pass through the upper, revealing strategically placed ventilation holes on the lateral part.

However, nothing compares to the microscopic examination that reveals why this shoe breathes so exceptionally well. Crafted from a sleek, thin engineered mesh, the Adios Pro 3 is a spectacle to observe up close.

Durability

Toebox durability

While the mesh adidas shoes uses in the Adios Pro 3 certainly offers amazing breathability, it falls short in the durability department and we rated it at 1/5 in our Dremel test. This lack of longevity is, unfortunately, a recurring issue with most running shoes, especially those designed for competition.

However, when brands expect us to shell out £250 for a shoe, we believe it's entirely reasonable for us to demand better durability in future releases. For instance, the Nike Alphafly 2 (right) did a great job in this regard.

In stark contrast, the heel demonstrated extraordinary performance during our heel durability test.

Outsole hardness

Transitioning to the outsole, our measurements of the exceptionally-soft rubber confirmed a hardness of only 55.5 HC, verifying its astounding grip. It also features Continental rubber.

adidas shoes adizero adios pro 3 2 20181007 main

To grasp the design logic behind this outsole design, a useful comparison is an F1 race car. For the quickest lap, flat tyres made of soft rubber are key to gaining maximum grip. Well, that's precisely what the Adios Pro 3 offers.

Outsole durability

Usually, a soft outsole measurement implies less durability. That's not the case here, fellas.

adidas shoes arguably leads the market when it comes to the grip-to-durability ratio of their outsoles, and the Adios Pro 3 only strengthens that claim.

Despite working hard, the Dremel only managed to cause a minuscule indentation of 0.26 mm in the outsole. It's one of the shallowest marks we've ever seen in the lab, and this is on a racing shoe!

If you're looking for a top-tier shoe with a resilient outsole, the Adios Pro 3 is THE ONE.

Tongue padding

We also found that the tongue on the Adios Pro 3 measures a mere 0.9 mm—about five times thinner than an average shoe! Because of this, it's vital to be mindful of lace tension. Tying the laces too tight can lead to significant discomfort or lace bite during long-distance races.

Designers of racing shoes always feel the squeeze to keep weight as low as possible. One area they often look to trim down is the shoe's tongue.

In the Adios Pro 3, adidas shoes made the decision to not implement any gusset, all in an attempt to minimise weight. Despite this, we haven't found any issues with tongue discomfort or unwanted movement while running.
