All about Adidas' £400 single-use marathon shoes that's smashed all records

Ethiopian runner Tigst Assefa broke the world record in the women's marathon on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at the Berlin marathon.

While Tigst broke many previous records with her running, the credit for her achievement is being given to a pair of £400 single-use marathon shoes that have been launched by Adidas recently.

Kenyan runner-up, Joyce Chepkirui was seen wearing the same pair as her contemporary.

Additionally, in the men's event fellow Kenyan and men's world record holder Eliud Kipchoge won the title while wearing a Nike prototype of the now-famous Adidas pair.

Tigst recently did a press release for the Adizero Adios Pro Evo, where she was all praise for the pair.

“This is the lightest racing shoe I have ever worn, and the feeling of running in them is an incredible experience like nothing I’ve felt before.”

“They enable me to put my full focus on the race, which is exactly what you want as an athlete. I feel ready to defend my title in Berlin and can’t wait to lace up at the start line in these,” she added.
