athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Kenesisa Bekele, who run in a pair of Anta shoes, 4 of the 6 top spots were claimed by runners wearing adidas latest marathon racer: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.runningshoesguru.com\/2023\/09\/the-lightest-and-most-expensive-running-shoe-you-cant-buy-introducing-the-adios-pro-evo-1\/\">Adios Pro Evo 1<\/a>; the $500 shoe that apparently can only be worn for one race before losing its characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Another adidas claims position 3 in the women&#8217;s race, and it is adidas previous top marathon racer, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.runningshoesguru.com\/2022\/08\/adidas-adizero-adios-pro-3-review\/\">Adios Pro 3<\/a> which was released in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Where was Nike in all this? It&#8217;s such a new feeling not seeing any of the Oregon brand&#8217;s shoes on the podium.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the week in Boston, we saw the Adidas Pro Evo 1 win the men&#8217;s race, with the Nike Alphafly 3 in second position and the adidas Adios Pro 3 in third.
