Find Your Stride

AdidasThe Adizero Evo SL EXO takes Adidas's most versatile performance trainer and wraps it in a new exoskeleton upper for a locked-in, precision fit from heel to toe. With the same full-length Lightstrike Pro midsole found in elite racing shoes, it delivers a bouncy, propulsive ride that handles everything from easy miles to race day. Super shoe speed. Trainer durability. Now with an upper that keeps up.
The Adidas Adizero Evo SL EXO is the most refined version of the Evo SL yet, built for runners who want race-inspired performance without sacrificing the versatility of a daily trainer. The headline upgrade is the new exoskeleton upper — external supportive overlays wrap a woven shell to create a more secure lockdown fit from heel to toe, giving you greater confidence at faster paces without added weight.
Underneath, the full-length Lightstrike Pro midsole remains unchanged — and that's a good thing. The same nitrogen-infused supercritical foam found in Adidas's top racing shoes delivers a springy, propulsive ride with ample cushioning for longer distances. A nylon midfoot shank provides just enough structure to smooth out the heel-to-toe transition, making the EXO equally capable on easy recovery runs and high-intensity workouts.
The Continental rubber outsole provides reliable grip through every phase of the stride, while the overall package weighs in at just 7.9 oz — keeping it firmly in performance territory. Whether you're running a tempo, logging long miles, or racing a 10K, the Adizero Evo SL EXO is built to be your go-to shoe for all of it.
