Last year’s Adizero Evo SL had it all. High-performance midsole technology. Dashing good looks. And a budget-friendly price tag that invites runners of all stripes to join in on the fun.

A year on, the shoe rushes into 2026 ready to retain its crown as the versatile everyday trainer to beat for running miles and errands, alike.

Similar to what we saw with the Pharrell-cosigned Humanrace collaboration from 2025, this variant of Adizero Evo SL preserves Lightstrike Pro foam of the original, giving it super-shoe-like qualities for a fraction of the cost.

But it also brings an high-fashion makeover in the form of a “Putty Grey” upper with “Shadow Fig” accents.

The model is not the only canvas for Hermanos Koumori’s high-fashion vision.

The burgeoning brand also decided to remaster Adidas’s iconic Ultraboost 5, with a breadth of apparel, from singlets to running vests, rounding out the stylish collection.
