Introducing the Adizero Boston 13
Today, adidas unveils the Adizero Boston 13, the latest in their speed-oriented running series. Created to maintain consistent speed during fast workouts and tempo runs, this shoe is an ideal training partner for those racing in the Adizero Adios Pro 4.
Legacy of the Boston Model
Since its debut in 1980, the Boston has become a classic in performance running. Now in its 13th version, the Adizero Boston incorporates adidas’ newest technologies while honoring its tradition, embodying adidas’ enduring dedication to aid runners in achieving their fastest training times.
Technology and Design Enhancements
The latest Adizero Boston model reflects adidas’ ongoing dedication to creating top-notch products for athletes. In addition to its signature ENERGYRODS 2.0 and engineered mesh upper, notable technological and design advancements include:
- INCREASED LIGHTSTRIKE PRO: 13.8% more Lightstrike Pro foam makes the midsole softer and more comfortable than its predecessor.
- ENHANCED COMFORT: Tuned with a padded tongue and collar, the shoe provides a more comfortable feeling for runners on top of the foot compared to the previous model.
- LIGHTTRAXION OUTSOLE: New for Adizero Boston models – and first seen in the marathon racer Adizero Adios Pro 4 – the LIGHTTRAXION patterned outsole construction is designed to reduce weight without sacrificing grip, by strategically placing it where it is needed the most.
Insights from Development
“When creating the new Boston 13 model, we wanted to build the ultimate fast trainer. We gathered athlete and consumer feedback from the Boston 12, which revealed that they wanted more comfort from the shoe – taking it back to the USP of the original Boston. The design and development of the new model was informed by these insights, with improvements made to the cushioning in the midsole and upper to provide a softer feeling for runners moving at speed.”
