In 2022, the ADIZERO franchise helped elite athletes and aspiring runners to dominate success in both road and track races. With an impressive tally of 10 World Championship titles, two broken world records, and 50% of all World Major Marathons won, the ADIZERO topped the podiums of the running world.
Alberto Uncini Manganelli, General Manager / Senior Vice President Running & Credibility Sports at adidas, confidently declares, “2022 was an extraordinary year for the ADIZERO franchise and our athletes. But our pursuit for excellence never ceases.
We continuously strive to develop the best products by collaborating with our athletes and the running community, harnessing the latest innovation and technology.
As we approach the first World Major Marathon of 2023, we are certain that this year will be no different from the last – ADIZERO will reign as the winning franchise once again.”
This prediction is off to a great start with Abdesa Tola Adera and Tamirat Tola storming to victory in the Dubai marathon last month wearing the ADIZERO Adios Pro 3.
