Adidas Adipower 3 Review Compared to Romaleos
I just got my hands on the Adidas Adipower 3 and I wanted to do a quick review compared to the Nike Romaleos. I have used both for my squat sessions and there are some noticeable differences. The Adipowers feel a bit more flexible in the forefoot which I like for movements like lunges.
However the Romaleos definitely feel more stable in the heel. The Adipower 3 has a very sleek design and the material feels very premium. I think they are a great option for anyone who wants a solid lifting shoe without the extreme stiffness of the Romaleos.
Has anyone else tried the newest version of the Adipower? I am curious if you think they are an improvement over the older models. I find the fit to be true to size but they are a bit narrower than my casual shoes. Overall I think they are a top contender for the best lifting shoe of 2026.
