Sporty & Rich and adidas Set the Pace with the Adizero Adios 1

Emily Oberg's is back again with . Having already reworked a chic edition of the and , the brand founder is turning her hands to a lesser-known model and reinterpreting it through a signature lens.

The silhouette in question is the Adizero Adios 1 marathon racer. A somewhat iconic choice for Haile Gebrselassie, who in both 2007 and 2008 set a world record during the Berlin Marathon. Conquering the 26.2 mile race, the moment highlighted adidas' drive for sports innovation and set the stage for the current Adizero Running lineup, which includes the now Adios Pro 4 and other high-performance designs.

The upcoming Adios 1 offering brings a fresh mix of 'Footwear White' and 'Silver Metallic' tones across its sleek design. Pops of titular 'Core Navy' and 'Court Green' bring energy to the retro-inspired runner, with signature 3-Stripes on the sides, inner lining, and other accents. Co-branding on the mesh tongue and footbed seals the deal, solidifying Oberg’s mark on adidas Originals' current vibe.

Much like Sporty & Rich’s take on the Adistar Cushion, the reissue keeps all the key performance features, especially in the lower half. Not to mention, the combo of AdiPRENE+ foam, the Torsion System, AdiWEAR, and sturdy rubber under the forefoot makes sure the kick can still log the miles.

Runners and S&R fans, unite! The Sporty & Rich x adidas Adizero Adios 1 is set to drop mid-2025 through both brands' webstores. Keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for more news and updates.
