The adidas Adizero Prime X 2 Strung is one of the German multinational's latest innovations with a high-performance design and a more than revolutionary combination of technologies as it incorporates three layers of Light Strike Pro foam and two carbon plates.
We are sure that the new adidas Adizero Prime X 2 Strung is a running shoe that will not leave anyone indifferent. This shoe has been designed without considering the world standards of regulatory footwear in professional athletics events, as it has a profile of more than 40 mm.
Therefore, no official records can be set with this shoe, but, regardless of this aspect, this is a shoe that will delight the fastest runners that like to run with large profiles.
The main objective when designing the shoe has been to equip the popular runners with the best technologies to maximize their performance in the races in which they participate.
Key features of the adidas Adizero Prime X 2 Strung
This is a shoe that is characterized by providing maximum cushioning combined with great responsiveness to run at really fast paces during our competitions.
Runners capable of running at fast paces, of medium and light weight (up to 75 kg approx) and with a refined running technique fit perfectly with the main features of the shoe.
STRUNG technology upper
The Strung technology, developed by adidas, is the result of an innovation process of several years to provide the best performance to athletes, which allows you to adjust the exact location of each thread and its direction depending on the needs of each athlete.
The result is a lightweight, one-piece upper with a precise fit that offers greater support, flexibility and breathability when running with the shoe.
This technology also uses the least amount of material possible and, it should be noted that at least 50% comes from recycled material, an increasingly clear commitment of the major brands to greater sustainability in all the shoes they manufacture.
LIGHTSTRIKE PRO three-layer midsole
The midsole is one of the most important parts of a running shoe and the one that runners pay most attention to when deciding which shoes to choose.
The adidas Adizero Prime X 2 Strung features up to three layers of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam, bringing the heel area to a height of 50 mm. Being the most resistant foam developed by the brand to help us maintain high paces, its energy core is located between two layers of foam, thus contributing to reduce the weight of the shoe and provide us with a greater impulse in the front of the shoe.
Two carbon plates
Carbon plates are here to stay in the running market, there are many alternatives of running shoes with carbon plates that we can find nowadays, but the adidas Adizero Prime X 2 Strung has two carbon plates.
The result we get is a much stiffer platform to what we are used to seeing, which maximizes the response in each of our strides to make it easier to run at faster paces.
In the heel area begins the carbon plate that, when reaching the middle of the shoe is extended to two parts, so that the upper if it has greater rigidity, ideal for greater reactivity.
Continental Outsole
The shoe has the Continental rubber compound that the brand uses in its most innovative models and guarantees a great grip. It has a very smooth rubber which will benefit us when running fast for its good grip but will penalize in the aspect of durability.
