In the heart of Manchester’s vibrant running scene, where every stride echoes determination and community spirit, adidas is bringing one of its most exciting training innovations to the city: the Adizero Evo SL. Designed to infuse your training with race-day DNA, the Evo SL is built for runners who want to look good, feel fast, and move with purpose – even on non-race days.

Performance Meets Precision Design

Inspired by the cutting-edge Adizero Pro Evo 1, the Adizero Evo SL blends race-day tech with everyday performance. Minimalist tones from black to white are accented by bold three stripes that, depending on the model, appear in white, black or silver hues that blur with speed, visually echoing motion and momentum.

Weighing just 188g for women and 224g for men, the Evo SL is adidas’ lightest training shoe to date. Every element of the design has been crafted to help runners stay light on their feet and focused on the finish line.

Breathable Support, Smooth Stride

The engineered mesh upper provides targeted support exactly where it’s needed most, while enhancing breathability – ideal for long runs and intense sessions alike. Beneath your stride, a high-stack Lightstrike Pro midsole runs the full length of the shoe, delivering a smooth, dynamic ride without the need for stiffening plates.

With a 6.5mm drop and a stack height of 38.5mm at the heel and 32mm at the forefoot, the Evo SL offers cushioning and responsiveness in perfect balance – so you can train hard and recover smarter.

See It. Test It. Win It.

Throughout Manchester Marathon weekend, adidas is inviting runners to experience the Evo SL up close at the ADIZERO: For The Fast  – an activation hub in the city where the community comes together. The Evo SL will be on display, available for test runs, and part of a special product giveaway. It’s also where the adidas Runners community will be connecting, warming up, and celebrating the power of movement together.

The running shoes Adizero Evo SL is priced at £130 GBP and is already turning heads with its blend of minimal design and maximum performance. Whether you’re chasing a new PB or just looking to elevate your everyday training, this shoe is built to support every stride.
