Shattering weight barriers, the Adidas Adizero Evo 1 (IH5569) redefines speed with radical minimalism. Weighing just 138 grams – the lightest performance runner ever engineered by Adidas – it leverages decades of material science innovation to deliver an unrivaled “barefoot” racing experience for elite athletes and pace-chasers.
Groundbreaking Lightweight Engineering:
-
Aerospace-Grade Upper: Constructed with proprietary Lightweight Upper mesh, featuring ultra-fine 0.8mm threads woven into a single-layer, seamless exoskeleton. This creates a second-skin sensation that eliminates bulk while maintaining critical midfoot structure.
-
Strategic Zero-Gravity Cushioning: Utilizing compressed Lightstrike Pro EVA exclusively in heel-strike zones, the midsole delivers targeted energy return without weight penalties. Laser-etched flex grooves enhance natural foot flexion at toe-off.
-
Barefoot Transition Technology: A featherlight TPU torsion plate (1.2mm thick) replaces traditional carbon components, providing essential propulsion rigidity at 40% less mass. The result? Instant ground contact feedback akin to racing spikes.
Elite Performance DNA:
Developed in partnership with world-record marathoners, the silhouette features micro-perforated ventilation tunnels and a vacuum-sealed heel collar. The ultra-thin monocle tongue (0.5mm) eliminates pressure points, while minimalist Continental™ Rubber pods offer precise wet-surface traction.
Race-Day Revolution:
Tuned for 5K to marathon distances, its weight distribution mimics elite racing flats. The antimicrobial lining prevents slippage during high-sweat efforts, and the anatomical toe box accommodates foot swell over distance.
Sizing Precision:
Available EU 40–46 (including 40.5, 42.5, 44.5). Critical Note: Runs 1/2 size small; size up for race-day swelling. Narrow last optimized for performance fit.
Where grams equal seconds, the Evo 1 represents Adidas’ most audacious engineering manifesto – rewriting the physics of speed.
