FAQs

What is Lightstrike Pro cushioning?

Lightstrike Pro is an adidas cushioning technology designed to provide a lightweight, responsive, and energetic feel, ideal for performance running and high-speed movements.

What materials are the Y-3 Adios 9 made from?

The upper is composed of approximately 56.3% textile and 43.7% polyurethane. The sole is made of 100% rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While they offer excellent cushioning and responsiveness for performance, they are designed for a blend of performance and lifestyle. For marathon-specific needs, consider dedicated marathon running shoes, but these can certainly be used for shorter races or tempo runs.

How do I clean the adaptive upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the material.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The high-traction rubber outsole provides good grip, but the adaptive upper material may not be fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain or damp surfaces, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

What is the primary benefit of the adaptive upper?

The adaptive upper conforms to the shape of your foot, offering a secure, lightweight, and comfortable fit that moves with you during activity.

Do these trainers run true to size?

These trainers generally run true to size. However, due to the adaptive nature of the upper, they provide a snug fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting the brand's sizing chart.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to sizing charts if unsure. The adaptive upper may feel snug initially but should conform to your foot.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any debris or dirt that may be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are on is not excessively wet or oily.

Discomfort during wear

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.

Material appears creased

The adaptive upper material is designed to be flexible. Minor creases are normal with wear. Avoid folding or bending the shoes excessively when storing.
