The Agravic 4 is the 'budget' everyday training focused trail shoe in the four-shoe 2026 Agravic line up from adidas. This commendably light (272g / 9.6 oz) well-cushioned and protected shoe is the author's favorite in the line up so far for its versatility, comfort, and fun ride.

Why it matters

The Agravic 4 offers a compelling balance of weight, cushioning, and performance features at a reasonable $145 price point, making it a versatile option for trail runners and hikers looking for an everyday trainer that can handle a variety of terrain.

The details

The Agravic 4 features a single slab of adidas' Lightstrike 3.0 midsole foam with a woven rock plate, providing ample cushioning and protection. The Continental rubber outsole offers excellent traction on both trails and roads. The lightweight, breathable upper provides a secure, comfortable fit, though the very front of the shoe could use a bit more structure and hold. Overall, the Agravic 4 is an agile, fun-to-run shoe that can handle a wide range of trail conditions.
