Recommended for such people
- Recommended for those who want to wear them for 800m as well  
Although the manufacturer specifies events suited for 1500 to 10000m, the combination of the plate and BOOST cushioning provides high rebound and endurance, allowing for sustained foot movement even in the latter part of a fast-paced 800m race.  
- For those who want to wear overseas spikes with a wider foot  
Even for those who find NIKE and NB too narrow, the Adizero Avanti 3 has a width rating of 4 out of 5, making it wider than many overseas brands.  
- For those who want to wear them with the feel of running shoes  
The use of BOOST material in the sole provides high cushioning, giving a sensation similar to running shoes.

Features

Primeweave upper with a soft and skin-friendly texture

The Primeweave upper offers support and stretch.  
This upper material has a different texture from previous Adizero Avanti models, being softer and more skin-like than the previous Celermesh upper, providing a very comfortable fit. The feel of the tongue is also very good. Additionally, the ankle area features a thinner cushion to enhance foot contact. The laces have low elasticity, and when tied, there may be a slight gap between the laces and the tongue. Therefore, consider replacing the laces for a better fit.

A thin upper that is carefully used in crucial matches

As can be seen from above, the shape (arrangement) of the shoelaces is designed diagonally along the instep, providing a natural fit without a tight feeling on the instep. The durability feels thinner than the previous mesh, with a fabric that feels almost tearable. The toe area is particularly thin, making it preferable for use only in competitions rather than practice. The width rating is 4 out of 5, compared to NIKE and NB's narrower rating of 2 out of 5, indicating a wider fit among overseas brands. Other models with the same width include MIZUNO's Geospark LD and ASICS's Gunlap 2, both rated at 4.

Sole equipped with high grip and BOOST cushioning

The pins are replaceable five pins with 7mm needle pins included. The addition of one pin on the little toe side compared to the previous model has improved stability upon landing and grip during push-off, achieving higher grip than Matumbo 3, ULD5K, and the Cosmo Racer LD2 and Gunlap series. Additionally, unlike the Mamba V and other spikes, the two front pins are positioned closer together, significantly enhancing grip. The BOOST cushioning is designed to be less affected by environmental conditions, performing effectively in all weather, and is more advanced than traditional E.V.A. (the same material used in running shoes). Furthermore, the nylon sprint plate supports achieving rebound without excessive sinking upon landing.

Sole with a shape that is easy to step onto and has an incline

The sole curvature has the largest angle in the history of the Avanti series. It has a slope of 23°, the same as NIKE's Zoom Mamba V, allowing for a design that promotes landing on the forefoot and shifting the center of gravity forward during running.
