Adizero Prime X3 Strung

I’m 6’5 230lbs I ran a 3:45 with the Prime X3 We are heavy and we put a lot of force in the shoes The Prime X with the double plate will give you that extra bounce. Now they are a bit heavier but it’s a good trade off Prime X2 are more stable but I loved them both It depends of how much you want to spend NB sc elite v4 Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 Alphafly 3 Are really good options

Not sure if my experience of them is relevant as i'm a lot shorter than you, but i love the X3's. I love the bounce and the cushioning. My longest run in them has been 30k and i was surprised that how great my legs felt, and i could probably have ran a marathon distance in them easily. I can see why they would be great for a heavier runner actually - there's so much stack on them!

Prime X 3 because the energy return is so high that your legs dont feel tired in the slightest the next day

Did a 23km run with the PX3 and they are definitely an improvement over the PX2 The only thing would be that having 1 less pair of lace holes kinda gives the feeling of having heel slipage when going slow

Prime X 3 for those long runs with fast segments

What type of runs do you use it for? Technical drills? I really want to like them but I find the low stack hard on the legs, so maybe I'm missing something? I also run in the PX3S, AP4, TS11, B13 and Evo SL (+ATR), and all of these (except the B13) shine in their own area. Where I live (in Europe), the shoe is fairly cheap and easy to get, but even so, I've never seen another runner with them. Maybe because they are inaccessible in certain areas, they are more coveted?

I just got the x3 strung prime because I just couldn’t stand addidas tongues!

Prime x shoes really love a high pace with strong push off. The carbon plates only work as springs if you compress them. So if you are able to put down some good amount of power in the shoes then go. Otherwise pick a different, non-plated shoe if you want speed and bounce.

Yes, I have worn the Prime X3 for half marathons, marathons, and two 100 milers. They are great. You’re much faster than me, though. I have also worn the Adios Pro 4 for halfs and full marathons. They would probably suit you better for your needs.
