Adizero adios Pro is the newest member of the award-winning and record breaking adizero family.

The story of the adizero franchise began in Berlin on 28 September, 2008, when Haile Gebrselassie shattered his own marathon world record and became the frst person to break the 2:04hr barrier with adizero adios 1. A decade later, the adizero adios Pro was created by a dedicated team with one goal in mind – work with world-class athletes to develop adidas’ fastest running shoe. Training across three continents, elite athletes - including Joyciline Jepkosgei and Rhonex Kipruto - gave iterative feedback to develop prototypes and challenge everything previously understood about bending stiffness, energy return, mass reduction and design geometry.

“To create the best, we knew we had to work with the best. Thousands of kilometres, months of testing, and dozens of prototypes, went into something designed to help athletes run faster, for longer but with the same energy, than ever before.”
Robbie Paterson, Footwear Development Manager, adidas Running

In addition to Joyciline Jepkosgei and Rhonex Kipruto, the following RunCzech Racing athletes contributed to product development and validation - half marathoners, Stephen Kiprop and Philemon Kiplimo; marathon runners Abel Kipchumba, Bethwell Yegon; two-time Eindhoven Marathon title holder, Festus Talam; and twotime Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon champion, Benard Kimeli.
