Double Tap to Zoom

These days, running shoes really are a dime a dozen. Everyone's got the fastest, the lightest, the grippiest, the coolest. But who's actually got the best?

Well, frankly, that is a question far too broad to be answered, seeing too just how specific-to-the-individual said answer would be. So, the question one should pose instead, is which contemporary running shoe covers most ground — literally and figuratively.

Right now, I'd say it may just be the Adizero Evo SL.

The Adizero family is one of the most esteemed running gear lineages, both in- and outside of the adidas mothership, its newest Evo SL member but another example of said excellence.

Available in a range of neutral and bolder colors, including a fresh batch of electric blue hues, the Adizero Evo SL packages a wide range of functional, performance-oriented features in a tastefully minimalist design, worthy of both serious athleticism and stylish off-track looks.

The shoe's signature LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam offers stability and cushioning for long strides or casually sporty coffee walks alike, and its textile upper is lightweight and airy but robust and weather-defiant all the same, keeping feet protected and cool, in every sense of the word.

So, long story short, this is a shoe that'll take you from Adizero to a hundred (get it?), be your needs performance- or leisure-based.
