Adidas Adizero Prime X3 Strung Ekiden Solar Blue Silver Metallic: The Trampoline That Wears Japan's Colors

There is a level beyond super shoes. The Adidas Adizero Prime X3 Strung Ekiden Solar Blue Silver Metallic Lucid Red occupies this space with quiet confidence. The intense solar blue of the Strung upper catches the eye with the same intensity as the Ekiden Pack Solar Blue of the Adios Pro 4 — but where the competitive super shoe plays for pure efficiency, the Prime X3 Strung plays for the maximum sensory experience. The Silver Metallic streaks across the woven upper panels in shifting reflections, and the Lucid Red marks the sole accents with the same Ekiden signature — the tribute to the Japanese relay, that tasuki ribbon connecting runners, is found here in a shoe that pushes the concept of performance to its absolute extreme. Designed without bending to competition regulations, the Prime X3 Strung is for those who want to feel what no other shoe on the market can offer.

The most extreme technology in the Adidas catalog

The Prime X3 Strung pushes the Adizero architecture to its physical limits. Three distinct stacked layers of Lightstrike Pro — each with its own density and function — to reach 50mm of stack and 160 SA at the heel, the highest shock absorption score ever measured in the laboratory on an Adizero shoe. At the heart of this architecture, a carbon plate positioned on top compresses the Lightstrike Pro with maximum efficiency, while the EnergyRods 2.0 underneath provide stiffness and forward propulsion — the result is a trampoline sensation with every stride, a rebound of an amplitude that regular runners have rarely experienced. The Strung upper, manufactured thread by thread using a data-adaptive construction process, offers structured support in the midfoot and heel with free expansion zones in the forefoot, allowing each part of the foot to find its place naturally. The Lighttraxion outsole and Continental rubber in the forefoot ensure grip even at high speeds.

For whom?

The Adizero Prime X3 Strung Ekiden Solar Blue is for the runner who wants to explore the most extreme sensations on the running market in an extraordinary long-distance training pair. It is particularly suitable for heavy runners or those with high weekly mileage who are looking for a super trainer capable of protecting their legs on intense long runs, while offering communicative rebound at all paces. Its Ekiden edition also gives it a collector's dimension for enthusiasts of Japanese running culture.
