Adidas has just announced what already looks like a strong contender for the title ofbest running shoesof 2023 in the form of the Adizero SL, an “elite-level” shoe at a more accessible price point, featuring the Lightstrike Pro foam and a lightweight Lightstrike EVA midsole.

The new Adizeor SL is the latest iteration of the record-breaking Adizero franchise. Indeed, the shoes have similar-looking cutaway sections in the foam as theAdidas Adzero Adios Pro 3, the apex predator of the Adizero line. However, the new road running shoes are sold for a much lower price, way less than what theNike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% 2sells for.

“The launch of the Adizero SL represents our continued commitment to our running community as we offer them a great daily trainer”, says Simon Lockett, Global Category Directory Running Footwear at Adidas, “We’re excited to help runners go faster than ever before as they take advantage of a shoe that includes some of the industry-first technology that has helped the likes of Peres Jepchirchir and Tamirat Tola smash World Records.”
