A Bulky adidas Dad Shoe With Marathon-Worthy Tech
The adidas Lightblaze pulls directly from the brand’s Adizero running shoe playbook. However, this lightweight sneaker trades marathon medals for daily comfort.
The sneaker features breathable white mesh, suede overlays, and aggressive pops of red peeking through like racing stripes.
What really sets the Lightblaze apart, though, is its Lightstrike midsole. This underfoot technology is borrowed from adidas’ elite-level running shoes. Lightweight and responsive, it adds a real spring to every step.
So yes, the Lightblaze could handle a casual jog. However, this is a lifestyle sneaker first, performance second.
The Lightblaze also taps into the broader shift in footwear design, where running shoes are no longer confined to tracks or treadmills.
adidas has been central in blending its performance DNA into everyday silhouettes. From the Adizero SL to the Takumi Sen, the Adizero line has long been about speed. Now, it’s about style, too.
The Lightblaze, available now on adidas’ website for $100, is the latest street-worthy sneaker with marathon-worthy tech.
