Prepare to lace up with the future. 2023 witnesses adidas’ relentless pursuit of innovation, as they unveil the avant-garde adidas ADIZERO PRIME X 2 STRUNG. Not just another shoe in the race, but a futuristic glimpse into the possibilities of running gear. With its enviable characteristics and design, it stands as a symbol of adidas’ desire to transcend the ordinary and reshape the contours of how we perceive running footwear.
A quick look into its design makes it clear why the ADIZERO PRIME X 2 STRUNG is causing ripples in the footwear community. Forgoing the limitations imposed by race regulations that restrict shoes to a 40mm stack height and a single carbon plate, adidas has boldly stepped up the game. The innovative model showcases a towering 50mm stack height complemented by a dual carbon-infused plate system, setting it in a league of its own.
Yet, it’s not just about the aesthetics or design. The real marvel lies beneath, where adidas has incorporated three layers of the LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam. A first for any adidas running shoe, this offers runners unparalleled comfort and spring.
Now, elite racers might have to sideline this model during competitions due to its groundbreaking design exceeding official specifications. However, those striving for personal records and glory beyond the official tracks will find the ADIZERO PRIME X 2 STRUNG to be their ultimate companion. The shoe encapsulates adidas’ unwavering focus on revolutionizing the world of running, hinting at a series of innovative creations waiting in the wings.
Coralie Ho-Von, at the helm of Running Footwear design at adidas, shared her enthusiasm on this stellar creation. Breaking away from traditional rules, the dedicated design team had the freedom to dream big, pushing the boundaries and shaping a shoe that stands tall in terms of stability, enhanced fit, and that coveted springy feel.
Diving deeper into its technological marvels:
STRUNG UPPER: A marvel in its own right, the STRUNG upper offers precision support. Areas like the midfoot and heel receive reinforced layering, while the forefoot enjoys tailored flexibility. Additionally, a knitted tongue accentuates the snug-fit experience.
3 LAYERS OF LIGHTSTRIKE PRO + CONTINENTAL™ OUTSOLE: Beyond the three layers of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO that bestows a unique 50 mm stack height, the shoe features a midsole nestled between two foam layers, ensuring lightness and that added zing to every step. Partnering with Continental™, the outsole promises an unparalleled grip, making challenging terrains feel like a walk in the park.
2 CARBON-INFUSED PLATE SYSTEM: Encasing the new LIGHTSTRIKE PRO core are dual carbon plates, aiming to maximize responsiveness at every phase of the run.
Complementing its rich features, the adidas ADIZERO PRIME X 2 STRUNG is a visual treat with a vibrant fusion of blues, violets, and reds. Set to retail at €300 / $300, eager runners and footwear enthusiasts can mark their calendars for September 15. The future of running will be accessible via the adidas app, on adidas.com, retail stores, and select retailers globally.
