adidas is no stranger to pushing boundaries. In the realm of running, the brand has consistently set new standards, and the latest addition to its lineup is no exception. Continuing its legacy of innovative design and unmatched performance and following up on the illegal adiZero Prime x 2 Strung, The Three Stripes introduces the adiZero Adios Pro Evo 1, marking a significant stride in lightweight footwear technology.
Drawing inspiration from the very core of adidas' ethos, "Impossible is Nothing," the adiZero Adios Pro Evo 1 is in its own category. According to Patrick Nava, VP of Product, Running & Credibility Sports at adidas, this shoe embodies the brand's mission to continuously challenge the status quo. With its weight coming in at a staggering 40% lighter than any of its predecessors, the Pro Evo 1 stands at the zenith of adidas running footwear.
The shoe's design exhibits the next chapter in the adiZero legacy. An innovative forefoot rocker, positioned at 60% of the shoe's length, is a trailblazing feature lab-proven to boost forward momentum and enhance running efficiency. In tandem, the evolved Lightstrike Pro foam is meticulously fashioned via a non-compression molding method, slashing weight and offering heightened energy return. Moreover, the outsole incorporates pioneering technology to deliver optimal traction with minimal heft, while the upper, crafted from a new featherweight mesh, underscores the shoe's weightless philosophy.
Elite athletes have been instrumental in the shoe's development, with in-depth insights procured during in-camp sessions in Kenya and rigorous testing in adidas' German headquarters. Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir and marathon victor Benson Kipruto, among other esteemed athletes, contributed to the shoe's refinement. Berlin Marathon's reigning champion, Tigist Assefa, praised its groundbreaking lightness, emphasizing the unparalleled racing experience it offers.
The adidas adiZero Adios Pro Evo 1 will release on September 26, 2023, exclusively via adidas Confirmed and select retailers. Offered in men’s sizes, and limited to just 521 pairs, the retail price is set at $500.
