Running with adidas
The adidas running page brings together the running shoes and apparel from the brand with the three stripes: Adizero for speed, Hyperboost and Supernova for daily cushioning, Runfalcon and Duramo for beginners, including children's sizes. From the first outing to the marathon run for a time, every type of runner can find a model suited to their stride.
adidas covers all aspects of running, from getting back into it to competitive marathons.
Adizero: from Berlin records to the Adios Pro
The Adizero range has built its reputation on the Berlin marathon. Haile Gebrselassie set the world record there in 2008 wearing adidas, and then Dennis Kimetto became the first man to run under two hours and three minutes in 2014, with a time of 2 h 02 min 57 s. In 2023, Tigst Assefa broke the women's world record by more than two minutes on the same course, wearing an Adizero Adios Pro Evo.
The Adios Pro combines a very responsive Lightstrike Pro foam with carbon rods, the EnergyRods, which stiffen the sole like the bones of the foot. The Evo SL keeps this foam without the rods for faster sessions, and the Pacer opens the range to runners who want to experience these sensations without aiming for competition.
Hyperboost, Supernova, Runfalcon: cushioning for all uses
For everyday training, cushioning takes precedence over speed. The Boost foam, launched in 2013 with the BASF chemist, is made from thousands of tiny expanded TPU capsules that return energy with every step; the Hyperboost, a more recent addition, extends this idea with high-energy-return foam designed for long runs. The Supernova uses Dreamstrike+, derived from Lightstrike Pro, but tuned for comfort rather than racing.
The Runfalcon and Duramo form the entry-level range: lightweight, simple, and accessible, they're suitable for beginners and short runs. Their TR or ATR versions, with a more rugged sole, accept park trails, and the kids' and baby models share their shape.
adidas running clothing: Adi365, Adizero, and Climacool
The adidas running clothing follows the same logic as the shoes. The Adi365 line outfits everyday runs with tank tops and breathable mesh t-shirts, designed to move without chafing under the arms. The Adizero shirts, thinner and lighter, embody the competitive spirit with a close-fitting cut that doesn't flap in the wind.
The Climacool clothing includes fabrics designed to ventilate and wick away sweat during exercise. When the cold sets in, it’s better to layer a fitted technical top with a wind-resistant layer than to throw on one thick piece: sweat escapes, heat stays, and you can shed a layer as your body heats up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which adidas shoe should I choose for my first marathon?
A cushioned and forgiving model, like the Supernova or Hyperboost, better protects your legs over such a long distance. The Adios Pro, very responsive but demanding on the calves, is reserved for trained runners targeting a specific time.
Do adidas running shoes run small?
They generally follow the brand's sizing guide. Measure your foot at the end of the day and keep about a centimetre in front of your big toe: most runners thus take half a size to a full size larger than their street shoe size.
Is a shoe with carbon rods suitable for daily training?
It is designed for competition and specific sessions: its stiffness and very soft foam puts more strain on the ankles and calves. For everyday use, a model without rigid rods is gentler on the tendons and wears out less quickly.
How many kilometres does a running shoe last?
It's generally estimated to last between five hundred and eight hundred kilometres, depending on the runner's weight, their stride, and the terrain. A compressed foam, marked creases on the sole, or unusual pains indicate it's time to replace them.
How should I care for my running shoes?
Remove mud with a brush, wash the upper with warm soapy water and let it air dry, with the insole removed and paper inside. The washing machine and radiator damage the foams and adhesives.
