Can you really put a price on speed? At adidas, the answer is a resounding yes, and if you want to shave off those extra seconds, it’s going to cost a pretty penny. The brand introduced its $500 super shoe, the Adios Pro Evo 1, two years ago, which would inform the extremely popular (and affordable) Adizero Evo SL. After an ultra-limited drop for the follow-up Adios Pro Evo 2 this spring, the super shoe is back for a wider release, just in time for marathon season.
The most advanced racing shoe adidas has released to date, the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 is even more stacked than its predecessor, putting 39mm of Lightstrike Pro Evo foam in the heel and 36mm in the forefoot for 5% more energy return than the Evo 1. Underneath the stack, a liquid rubber sole was crafted to keep weight down, weighing in at an insane 4.8 ounces even with the extra foam.
For the wide release, adidas is dressing down the Evo 2 in a simple black and white colorway that matches the OG Evo 1 and Adizero Evo SL. The ultra-light mesh upper and ginormous sole are both white, with three black stripes covering the entire side, a barely-there black outsole, and Adizero logo on the tongue. Lightstrike Pro Evo is written on the lateral side of the stacked midsole, with Adizero Adios 2 Evo Pro written on the heel panel.
Fall marathon season is right around the corner, and the Evo 2 will be available in time for serious runners looking to step up their game everywhere from Berlin to New York City. Expect to see the sneaker in full force as these events take place over the coming months.
The adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 Black White will launch Fall 2025, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. The sneaker will retail for $500.
