Adizero Japan 8, sold as Adios 8 overseas, is a low-profile racer for road races and speed workouts. LIGHTSTRIKE PRO sits in the forefoot, with LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 under the heel and midfoot. A stripped-back mesh upper uses a micro-fit pattern to secure the foot. Updated ENERGYTORSION ROD 2.0 adds a third rod from midfoot to forefoot for toe-off, while Continental rubber supplies road grip.
