Adidas Adizero Pro Evo 2
Adidas Adizero Pro Evo 2: building consensus — a public grade is not available yet; synthesized so far from 2 reviews across 2 creators, freshest review Sep 11, 2026.
TL;DR
The Adidas Adizero Pro Evo 2 is a niche, ultra-light race shoe that gets a rave review from one fast runner but fails to impress another, and multiple voices flag the steep price as unjustified. If you are chasing a PR and have the budget (or can find a discount) and want something as aggressive as the Adios Pro 4 but lighter, it is worth considering — but the split opinions and high cost make it a risky buy for most.

Best for
The Adidas Adizero Pro Evo 2 is a purpose-built marathon racer for elite and competitive runners chasing personal bests. It feels like a lighter, simpler version of the Adios Pro 4 — extremely aggressive, insanely light, and very fast — but with minimal outsole coverage that can slip on wet painted road lines. Best reserved for race day (not training) where every second counts, especially for the marathon distance.
Reviewers were less aligned on this shoe’s purpose — treat these as a softer signal.

What reviewers said
- Extremely light and aggressive — one reviewer describes them as 'just insanely aggressive shoes, super light and obviously very fast' and equates the aggressiveness to the Adios Pro 4 but in a lighter package.
- The same reviewer 'loved it' and felt the shoe contributed to racing well.
- Very expensive (around £450 retail in the UK, though discounts to £325–£350 have appeared), and one reviewer bluntly states the shoe 'definitely isn't worth that' price.
- Another reviewer was 'not that impressed' with the Pro Evo 1 and 2 after multiple runs.

Ryan's Running Reviews
“this is a direct competitor to the $500 Pro Evo 2 from Adidas, which I think is roughly 10 ounces heavier compared to the AS6 Meta Speed Ray.”

Floberg Runs
“I raced in the Pro Evo 2s. Uh those were gifted to me earlier in the year by Adidas and I I raced Shamrock Shuffle in them... the way I equate it is aggressivewise, like I don't see them as being much different than the Adios Pro 4, which is what I've been racing in for over a year now. It just feels like a lighter version of the Adios Pro 4, if that makes sense... just insanely aggressive shoes, super light and obviously very fast. Loved it.”

“Yes, you've got stuff like the Pro Evo 2, which retails at £450 here in the UK, but I have started to see some discounts on those now hovering around that sort of 350, 325 price point. Still a lot of money, isn't it?”
