We start this post with a name of his own, the Kenyan athlete Kibiwott Kandie, and his 57 minutes and 32 seconds, world record in the half marathon distance in Valencia. Are you able to guess with which shoe he reached this stratospheric mark? Congratulations, you're on the right track: the adidas Adizero Adios Pro! It's clear that adidas ' winning Adizero family is back, and they're doing it with a line of models that are associated with historical milestones like Kibiwott.
The concept is not only in running faster to break records, but also in the fact that breaking those personal bests leads the athlete to bring out his best version, improving his performance and surpassing himself. In this sense, the renewed collection of adidas Adizero running shoes is conceived and developed to become your great allies and take that step forward that will lead you to experience that new concept of speed to achieve your goals.
Taking as a reference the words of the vice president of design at adidas Running, Sam Handy, who points out that "the ADIZERO represents the legacy of the best Running shoes for the best runners in the world".
However, that concept of continuous improvement and improvement is also built into the DNA of the popular runner as standard. Although he may not have the goal of victoria the race, he does have the goal of improving his personal bests.
For this reason, from RUNNEA we will give you three arguments that will lead you to wear an adidas adizero model so that you will be able to bring out your best version in every training session and in every competition.
History
With that long history in the design of racing shoes, adidas has always sought to redefine the concept of speed. Thus, one of the first historical milestones came from the hand of an athletics legend: Haile Gebrselassie set the world record in the 2008 Berlin Marathon with the first adizero Adios prototype on his feet. His time: 2 hours 3 minutes and 59 seconds, a 29-second improvement on the previous world record for the distance.
After the great Gebrselassie's feat in Berlin 2008, the adidas adizero family has accumulated more than 150 victories, including the world records of Dennis Kimetto (2h.02:57 in Berlin, the first athlete to go under 2h.03 minutes); Peres Jepchirchir (1.05:54 in the 2020 Prague Half Marathon); and finally and most recently, Kibiwott Kandie's half marathon world record with a time of 57 minutes and 32 seconds in the 2020 Valencia Half Marathon and with the spectacular adidas Adizero Adios Pro.
Technological innovation
Obviously, the most emblematic models of the adidas adizero saga have evolved over time, and have been adapted to new trends and cutting-edge technological developments. In fact, all these flying silhouettes include a midsole with Lightstrike cushioning foam, lightweight and reactive; the upper with Celermesh for support, breathability, flexibility and speed. And of course that carbon fiber plate, and even the innovative Energyrods, whose anatomical design has been a before and after in adidas, capable of boosting your run, among other details.
Performance and goals of overcoming
In this way, and with the characteristics of a racing shoe for fast running, all the models that make up the select Adizero collection share the same common point: tomaximize your running experience at really fast and quick paces, but always based on a good and refined running technique.
All this together with an individualized training plan will give you the keys to achieve your sporting goals, and to continue progressing and improving as a runner.
