The adidas Adizero Evo SL is a highly lightweight and performance-driven running shoe, ideal for female athletes aiming to maximize speed during fast training, tempo sessions, and race day. It delivers a uniquely cushioned and propulsive experience with a super smooth transition, thanks to its advanced LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam. While excelling in speed and comfort, runners accustomed to the rigid propulsion of carbon-plated shoes might find its nylon midfoot element offers a different, more flexible feel.

Engineered Mesh Upper: A lightweight and breathable engineered mesh upper offers a snug, secure fit with a distinctive speed aesthetic, keeping your feet comfortable as you push the pace.
Midfoot Nylon "Dog Bone": Features a unique nylon midfoot stiffening element, offering a balance of support and flexibility, distinguishing its ride from carbon-plated alternatives.
Dual-Compound Outsole: Combines new, lighter clear rubber with durable Continental™ rubber in the forefoot, ensuring optimal traction and durability without unnecessary weight.

The adidas Adizero Evo SL is built for one purpose: speed. It's your go-to shoe when the clock matters, whether you're tackling interval training, pushing the pace on tempo runs, or aiming for a personal best on race day. The LIGHTSTRIKE PRO midsole provides a springy, energetic feel that encourages a quicker cadence, while the 6mm heel offset promotes a more natural midfoot strike. The lightweight engineered mesh upper ensures your foot remains secure and breathable, even during the most demanding efforts.
Interval Training: The responsive cushioning and light weight make quick bursts and recovery periods feel efficient.
Tempo Runs: Experience sustained comfort and propulsion over medium distances at a higher pace.
Race Day: From 5k to half-marathons, the Evo SL is designed to give you a competitive edge with its speed-focused features.
Track Work: Offers the necessary grip and responsiveness for track sessions without being overly stiff.
Its Continental™ rubber outsole ensures reliable grip on various surfaces, from dry asphalt to slightly damp tracks, giving you confidence when accelerating or cornering.
Your adidas Adizero Evo SL shoes require no special setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort level. We recommend trying them on and walking around indoors to ensure a comfortable fit before your first run.
These shoes are designed for road running and track surfaces, particularly for activities that demand speed. They perform best in drier conditions, though the Continental™ rubber provides decent grip on slightly wet surfaces. They are compatible with standard running socks and athletic apparel.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your running shoes:
Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty or muddy conditions, gently clean your shoes. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as this can warp materials and degrade adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider alternating with another pair of running shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress and recover between uses, which helps maintain cushioning properties.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air out the shoes. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight.
