Adidas has unveiled the Adizero Adios Pro 5, bringing the technology used in its record-shattering $500 Adizero Evo Pro 3 to the more attainable Pro series.

The Adidas Adizero Pro 5's unveiling comes ahead of this Sunday's 2026 Berlin Marathon, which is one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors the brand has sponsored since 2011.

This is also an exciting time for fans of the Adidas Running line, given that the brand had two sponsored athletes, Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha, break the sub-two-hour marathon barrier at the London Marathon in April, which required them to run at least four minutes and 33 seconds per mile for 26.2 miles. Both athletes wore the Adizero Evo Pro 3, which features the innovations used for the latest Adizero Adios Pro 5.

"Every record we've helped athletes achieve has taught us more. The Adizero Adios Pro 5 transforms those learnings into our most advanced race-day shoe yet, empowering more runners to chase their own fastest performance," Stephan Scholten, Adidas' VP of product, said.
