The adidas Adizero Evo SL, rooted in elite performance DNA, is set to be a future classic. With a rich history of creating gear for athletes, its Running Lifestyle division capitalizes on the growing athleisure trend, where sportswear seamlessly integrates into casual fashion for maximum wearability. The shoes and apparel under this category are designed to be versatile, offering functionality for those who jog or run as part of their daily routine while at the same time being stylish enough to wear throughout the day. This ethos has broadened adidas' market appeal, allowing The Brand With The Three Stripes to reach a younger, fashion-forward demographic while maintaining the core of being a performance-driven sports brand.
In recent times, the Adizero range, while primarily performance-focused, has found a place within this broader lifestyle appeal. Footwear from the range has gained attention for its sleek designs and innovative technology. The ability of those who work at the brand to balance technical performance with street-style appeal ensures that products are not just for runners but also for individuals who want footwear that combines comfort, performance, and style.

Every box is ticked with the adidas Adizero Evo SL. They are a consumer-friendly iteration of the super limited Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1; that is to say, more people will have a chance to buy them, and they won't cost $500. By far the lightest shoe out of the entire roster of adidas runners, the approximate weights for women's pairs are 188g and just 224g for men's. Featuring an upper constructed from a single piece of core black engineered mesh, cloud white Three Stripes branding contrasts along the midfoot and extends to the midsole. Adizero branding is utilized on the laces and insoles, with the EQT motif on the rear heel tab. Underfoot, Lightstrike Pro technology is incorporated into the midsole, with the black outsole bearing the Continental logo, showcasing that it is made of the most durable rubber.
The adidas Adizero Evo SL Black White is set to release on October 15, 2024, at adidas and select retailers in-store and online. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $150.
