Adidas’ new “elite level” Adizero SLs are half the price of the Nike Alphafly 2
Adidas just announced what already looks like a strong contender for best running shoes of 2023 in the Adizero SL, a more affordable “elite level” shoe featuring Lightstrike foam. Pro and a lightweight Lightstrike EVA midsole.
The new Adizeor SL is the latest iteration of the record-breaking Adizero franchise. In fact, the shoes have sections cut out of the foam that look similar to the Adidas Adzero Adios Pro 3, the predator of the Adizero line. However, the new road running shoes sell for a much lower price, far less than the Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% 2 costs.
“The launch of the Adizero SL represents our continued commitment to our running community by providing them with a great everyday trainer. We’re excited to help runners go faster than ever by leveraging a shoe that features some of the first industry technologies that have helped runners such as Peres Jepchirchir and Tamirat Tola smash world records.”

The Adidas Adizero SL features Lightstrike Pro ‘drop-in’ foam in the forefoot to improve energy return on toe-off and a Lightstrike EVA midsole frame that provides cushioning and protection. The mesh upper and padded tongue enhance the shoe’s comfort levels while providing ideal lockdown (not the stay-at-home variety, of course).
