When adidas dropped the $500 Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1, runners snatched up pairs as fast as possible, and sneakerheads caught contact hype. Responding in kind, adidas started adding the Evo design language to other models and found a crossover lifestyle hit with the Adizero Evo SL.
The latest colorway of the Evo SL comes ready for Halloween with a white textile upper featuring two shades of purple on the Three Stripes, plus slime green laces for a couple of bright splashes. The ADIZERO tongue stabilizer tag and the heel counter logo both get a hit of purple, while more slime green is found on the back half of the slim outsole. Whether you’re running or taking the kids trick-or-treating, the full-length Lighstrike Pro midsole will keep you stepping in comfort.
With Fall marathon season around the corner, sneaker brands across the industry have been going all-out on performance runners. While Nike is currently winning the stack height competition with the Vomero Premium, the adidas Adios Pro Evo 2 is reigniting a debate about the shoe’s $500 retail price tag while simultaneously selling out. The Evo SL is less than half the price of its top-shelf sibling, but with some of the same tech and a long line of clean colorways and collabs, don’t expect them to last long on shelves either.
The adidas Adizero Evo SL White Collegiate Purple will be released October 1, 2025, through select adidas retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $150.
