The Adidas Adizero Evo SL is one of the most exciting lightweight trainers in the Adidas performance running lineup for 2024. Built for tempo runs, uptempo efforts, and daily training, the Evo SL is ideal for runners who want responsive cushioning without a carbon plate. At just under 8 oz, it’s among the lightest neutral shoes designed for speed, comfort, and efficiency.
Designed for Runners Who Want Lightweight Comfort
The Evo SL features Adidas’ signature Lightstrike Pro midsole, the same foam used in the Adios Pro 3 and other race-day shoes. However, this model strips away the carbon rods for a more natural, adaptable ride. The result is a shoe that offers a bouncy, cushioned feel suitable for a wide range of paces — from easy jogs to tempo efforts.
Whether you're training for a race or just looking for a breathable, springy shoe for your runs around the park, the Adizero Evo SL Malaysia edition delivers consistent performance in a minimal frame.
Key Features
Midsole: Full-length Lightstrike Pro foam offers soft, energetic cushioning with excellent impact absorption.
Upper: A breathable mesh and textile combination with minimalist overlays keeps the shoe lightweight and sleek.
Outsole: Durable Continental™ rubber ensures reliable grip across road surfaces and light trails.
Weight: Approx. 224 g (7.9 oz) for a Men’s US Size 9.
Drop: 6mm (38mm heel / 32mm forefoot) provides a smooth transition.
Fit and Performance
The Evo SL offers a snug, race-inspired fit with just enough padding to keep longer runs comfortable. Testers have praised its lightweight ride, saying it "disappears on foot" and allows for natural movement. The outsole delivers solid traction, even in humid conditions typical of Southeast Asia.
What Runners Are Saying
“Perfect for faster sessions. Light, responsive, and breathable.”
“Surprised by how soft and springy the ride feels even without a plate.”
“Works well for 5K to half marathon training blocks.”
Some runners mentioned the tongue lacks gusseting, which may cause slight shifting during fast-paced runs. A minor issue for most, but worth noting if you prefer a locked-in feel.
