Performance

AE1
Showcasing the future of adidas Basketball through innovative design and technology, the Anthony Edwards 1 excites consumers on and off the court. Voted sneaker of the year in 2024 by Complex, the success of Anthony Edwards’ model also drives consumer awareness for our Harden, D.O.N., and Dame signature lines.

Adizero Adios Pro 4
The Adizero Adios Pro range is developed to break records. The Adios Pro 4 takes the technology from Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 – our record-breaking running shoe – and makes it available to all ambitious marathon runners.



Adizero Evo SL
This launch is further democratizing our record-breaking Adizero range, offering technological innovation and design elements from the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 at the more affordable price point of € 150. With its clean look, the Evo SL catches attention during and after any run.

Supernova 2
Even lighter than its predecessor, the Supernova 2 provides a superior daily running experience, with new features such as the Dreamstrike+ midsole which enhance the franchise’s comfort-driven proposition.




Ultraboost 5
The latest iteration of our iconic running franchise refocuses on performance, featuring a reengineered midsole to provide even more energy return and bold colorways for lifestyle-conscious runners.



Duramo SL
Developed for the price-conscious runner and priced below € 80, the mesh upper and padded heel create a soft, supportive feel, while the Lightmotion midsole adds lightweight cushioning.



Predator
Many of football’s greatest players trust the Predator, a boot crafted for goals. The latest iteration continues this success story, featuring a lightweight soleplate and heel construction that optimizes traction for dynamic movement and stability when striking the ball.



F50
After a nine-year hiatus, we relaunched the F50 on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Taking inspiration from elite track spikes, we provided this famous built-for-speed football franchise with a comprehensive upgrade.



Crazyquick
As padel’s popularity and presence grows, we built on our deep expertise in tennis and other court sports to introduce our first dedicated padel footwear franchise. Its lightweight and breathable design offers enhanced stability, cushioning, and energy return.

Dropset 3
Designed specifically for the demands of weight-based exercises, the new Dropset offers enhanced stability and grip. This helps gym enthusiasts distribute weight evenly while transferring force from feet to ground, reducing injury risk.


Optime
Our new Optime leggings blend support, style, and freedom of movement. Engineered with advanced material constructs, the squat-proof leggings offer all-day confidence and comfort inside and outside the gym.

Terrex Xperior
Made with 100% recycled PrimaLoft insulation, this award-winning jacket does not compromise performance for sustainability. Its distinctive pattern and insulation support breathability and keep adventurers warm even in wet conditions.



Z.N.E.
Our revamped Z.N.E. collection (‘Zero Negative Energy’) is the epitome of innovation in apparel. Bringing high-quality performance fabrics into everyday silhouettes, including hoodies and pants, creates a distinctive offering that our consumers can rely on in all occasions.

Lifestyle

Terrace
Seeded by the adidas x Gucci Gazelle, one of our most sought-after collaborations, we continue to drive newness and depth, building on the increasing interest of the consumer in our Terrace offering, consisting of Samba, Gazelle, and Handball Spezial. Numerous high-profile collaborations with Pharrell Williams, JJJJound, and Bad Bunny keep our franchises relevant as we carefully manage supply.

Campus
Originally at home in skateboarding, the Campus with its bulkier silhouette perfectly complements our Terrace offering. Organically picked up from our Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumer on social media, it now enjoys even greater popularity than Terrace silhouettes in some of our markets.


SL 72
Historically developed for marathoners, this franchise now takes the T-toe style into Retro Running for our Lifestyle consumers. We continue to scale volumes in response to fast-growing demand, while keeping the franchise relevant through fresh colorways and exciting collaborations such as that with Sporty & Rich.


Low Profile
Given our credentials in martial arts, boxing, and motorsport, we successfully incubated Low Profile franchises such as Taekwondo and Japan. The low and slim silhouettes have already created hype on fashion runways and red carpets around the world. Examples of our activations include the Stella McCartney show at Paris Fashion Week and Emma Chamberlain on the cover of The Face magazine.

Climacool
By pushing the boundaries of design innovation, we offer a shoe that defies conventional norms with a unique lattice structure and is entirely 3D-printed with cutting-edge technology. The 360° airflow makes the shoe feel as if it is almost non-existent, a testament to our innovation, design, and comfort journey toward creating the best Lifestyle Running product for our consumers.

Aruku
Another highlight in Lifestyle Running, the Aruku provides a completely different level of comfort. Inspired by an iconic running shoe from the 2000s, this franchise has a curved rocker shape and Swirlfoam cushioning that keeps our consumers moving comfortably all day. Bold activations with artists such as Gunna at ComplexCon have pushed the franchise to the forefront of the sneaker community.

Superstar
We are relaunching one of our most iconic shoes with new colorways, materials, collaborations, and a dedicated market-by-market approach. Led by North America, we are focusing on a young, urban consumer group and strengthening the connection to local street culture with dedicated Superstar iterations and activations coming out of our creation center in Los Angeles.



Third jerseys
The Trefoil logo returned to the pitch with the launch of third jerseys made from 100% recycled polyester for each of our five major European football clubs, namely Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Juventus, Arsenal, and Real Madrid. Blending performance and contemporary street style, the limited-edition jerseys are designed to bring the enthusiasm for football from the field to the streets.

The Bad Bunny & Messi Collection
In the one-of-a-kind partnership, Bad Bunny and Lionel Messi reinvented two of our most celebrated silhouettes. The collection pays tribute to individual trophies of the two global superstars. It includes the Gazelle as Bad Bunny’s favorite style element and the F50, widely recognized as one of the best football cleats of all time and worn by Messi throughout his career.


Events

EURO/Copa
We amplified the success of our teams at the UEFA EURO and CONMEBOL Copa América football tournaments through the launch of the second chapter of our You Got This brand campaign: Stars including Jude Bellingham and Lionel Messi shared their experience on pressure and how to overcome it. Simultaneously, we drove elevated brand visibility with activations such as our ‘Home of adidas Football’ in Berlin – a fully immersive hub with public viewing, creative studios, exhibitions, game boxes, and five-a-side football pitches for our consumers.

Olympics/Paralympics
Against the backdrop of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the third chapter of our You Got This brand campaign highlighted the importance of self-belief: Athletes at the top of the game shared their mindset to encourage the next generation. The campaign matched the launch of our comprehensive Athlete Pack, a footwear collection equipping athletes across 41 different disciplines, which was also made available at our newly opened Home of Sport flagship store on the Champs-Elysées. To round up the event experience, we celebrated Olympic medal wins with our athlete partners at our adidas house in Paris.

Move for the Planet
For the second time, we called on athletes at every level across the world to track their physical activity across a variety of sports. Almost 230 million minutes of activity were tracked in the adidas Running app globally, with adidas donating € 1.5 million to make sports facilities more resilient to extreme weather conditions and to provide sustainability education tools to a number of local communities.

Road to Records
For the fourth edition of Road to Records, we gathered 120 world-class athletes for a unique running event at our headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Our athletes secured one new world record, two under 20 records, nine national records, and stimulated incredible energy at our World of Sports. The excitement was also visible in our adidas Runners’ community – who remotely participated across 60 cities – as well as around 200 retail partners and our employees who also joined in on this extraordinary experience.
