The Boston 12 borrows the Energy Rods 2.0 system from the Adios Pro 3, ridding itself of the two-piece glass fiber-infused rods seen on the Boston 10 and 11. Layered midsole setups are also accompanied by updated stiffening components.

The new additions to the Adizero family introduce Lightstrike 2.0 to the world, promising a “lighter and denser… propulsive” ride than Lightstrike’s first iteration, according to Heidmann. Unlike the Adios Pro 3, both the Boston 12 and Adios 8 feature a mix of adidas’ two marquee running foams: Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro. “It’s important we don’t only sell racing shoes.” Underfoot, both Adizero products have been redesigned for better stability while also offering a conservative ride in comparison to other options, as told by Heidmann in an exclusive phone call with Sneaker News. As with other products from the Three Stripes, uppers on both the Boston 12 and Adios 8 feature at least 50% recycled materials, helping the brand achieve its goal of ending plastic waste. Furthermore, the Adizero design team – which includes Charlotte Heidmann, Senior Global Product Manager, Running Footwear – opted for a lace loop-less lacing system for improved lockdown across the mid-foot. Overlays across the shoes are abandoned in favor of lighter constructions. From the top down, uppers are constructed with engineered mesh laid out differently than on the Boston 11 and Adios 7. Training companions to the sport-leading adidas Adios Pro 3 worn by Evans Chebet in his back-to-back win of the Boston Marathon, both new models are technical and visual departures from their predecessors. Both long-running series’ within the German brand’s storied roster of performance models, the Boston 12 and Adios 8 preview what’s to come from the Adizero franchise. Over the last decade, the brand’s Adizero lineup of running shoes has made podiums on handfuls of occasions, enabling runners to their – and the several courses’ – best times.Īhead of summer, the Three Stripes has unveiled the newest members of its award-winning adidas Adizero family: the Boston 12 and Adios 8.
