Every HYROX athlete makes the same bad trade. Race in a runner and you're 
sliding through the sled push. Race in a lifter and you're dying by the fourth 
1km. You pick which half of the race to lose.

The Adizero Dropset Elite is Adidas' answer to that. Not a trainer that can 
survive a race. A race shoe, developed with the elite hybrid athletes competing 
at the front of the field.

A carbon-infused Energy Rim holds you planted through sled push, lunges and 
wall balls. Then Energyrods take over on the run, driving a smooth heel-to-toe 
transition when your legs are gone and the next kilometre is all that's left. 
Underneath, double-layer Lightstrike Pro returns the energy you need to hold 
pace across all eight runs.

One shoe. Eight stations. Eight kilometres. No compromise, no shoe change.

Built for the athletes racing for a podium. Available to anyone chasing a PB.

BEST FOR:
HYROX race day, hybrid training, functional fitness, running intervals.

WHAT MAKES THESE NEXT LEVEL?

• Run fast. Lightstrike Pro carries you through all eight runs with the same legs you started with.
• Lift strong. A locked-in, planted base for wall balls, lunges and everything that asks you to hold position under load.
• Stay locked in. Grip that holds from the first sled to the last burpee, on gym rubber, turf and pavement.
• One shoe, eight stations. No compromise between the run and the floor. No shoe change.
• Built with the front of the field. Developed alongside the elite hybrid athletes racing for podiums.

"The grip is great, and I feel stable and in control while maintaining speed."
T. Wenisch, HYROX winner, in the Adizero Dropset Elite
