High durability and breathability of ultra-lightweight Cera-mesh
The upper material is a single-piece ultra-lightweight Cera-mesh. This ultra-lightweight Cera-mesh is sturdier and much lighter compared to regular mesh, ensuring breathability. Additionally, it firmly holds the foot and reduces energy loss due to friction between the shoe and foot, providing a comfortable fit that supports foot movement while maintaining speed and reducing fatigue even after long wear. The fastening type is secured with a belt and shoelaces. Furthermore, the compression shoe tongue system integrates a stretchable fabric that connects the tongue and spike from the inside, providing support. Breathability is ensured throughout the spike due to the characteristics of Cera-mesh, replacing the mesh processing at the heel from the previous model.
A tight and high-fit upper characteristic of adidas
As a common feature of adidas, compared to domestic brands, it has a very tight width, and the heel part is designed as a forefoot spike, which means there is no heel counter and it is stretchy. Many domestic manufacturers have plastic heel counters, which can cause discomfort for those with larger heels after prolonged wear, but adidas, without a heel counter, provides a comfortable fit even for those with larger heels. The toe is also very sharp, so wearing a just size can squeeze the toes tightly, making it difficult to exert toe strength. Furthermore, the strap over the instep is reinforced with a double upper for a tight finish.
A very stiff plate characteristic of adidas
The pins are replaceable six from the toe, the same as the company's Prime SP series and Accelerator. The pin configuration is in three rows of 2-1-3, the same as the Prime SP and Accelerator, but the two pins at the toe are spaced wider apart than the aforementioned spike, resulting in a design with high grip. Moreover, the hardness of the sole is slightly softer than that of the Prime SP and Accelerator. Compared to other manufacturers, it has a harder sole with more rebound than MIZUNO's high-rebound spikes like the Chrono Onyx. There are three line-shaped protrusions on the surface of the midfoot sole, providing high rebound. Additionally, it is equipped with Space Frame Technology (a lightweight plate made of a composite material of carbon and nylon), which flexes evenly from the toe to the heel.
Curved plate that assists with center of gravity movement
The curvature of the sole, according to Picker's research, has a relatively high incline rated 4 out of 5. Among the Adizero series, the Prime SP series has a higher incline. Since it is a spike focused on the forefoot, it has a higher curvature that supports the action of pushing down near the tip of the foot. Overall, it is smoothly curved, making weight transfer easier and allowing for quick direction changes.
