AdidasAdipower 3

Verdict

The Adidas Adipower 3 is a high-performing option in its class — a weightlifting scoring 89/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 450g, it is on the heavier side for a weightlifting. The 30mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a firm ride at 90 HC, returning 15% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Adipower 3 runs on a high 20mm drop that cushions the transition for heel strikers, with a 10mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 95mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper comes in a standard width. Half size down recommended. Extremely rigid. It is designed for olympic lifting, powerlifting, squats, and performs less well for any walking or running.
