The adidas adizero Boston series. For many of us runners, the name always brings to mind a reliable training partner that can handle daily training and provide a pair of energetic running shoes for fast runners. A fast-paced training shoe with high-performance technology.
The Boston Marathon is a race, but it is also a goal, a training plan, and a memory that lingers in the days before the big game. The adizero Boston 12 running shoe is built for middle and long distance running. It uses glass-infused ENERGYRODS 2.0 technology to provide a strong sense of propulsion and effectively reduce energy loss underfoot, bringing a race-like feeling to training. Fast speeds don't sacrifice durability at all - the midsole uses ultra-light LIGHTSTRIKE PRO cushioning technology and new LIGHTSTRIKE 2.0 EVA durable technology.
