South Africa – April 22, 2025 – In line with the Boston Marathon buzz, adidas has dropped a game-changing update to its elite training line: the all-new Adizero Boston 13. Engineered for runners chasing speed in every stride, this latest evolution in the Adizero franchise is built to go fast—and stay comfortable while doing it.
If you’re putting in the tempo work or dialing up the long intervals, the Boston 13 is now more dialed in than ever thanks to 13.8% more Lightstrike Pro foam—making it the softest, most responsive Boston yet. It’s the ideal training companion to the race-day weapon, the Adizero Adios Pro 4.
More foam. More comfort. More speed. The iconic Boston returns better than ever.
“We set out to create the ultimate fast trainer,” says Charlotte Heidmann, adidas’ Global Director of Running Footwear.
“The Boston 13 is built from athlete insights, with more cushion, better comfort, and tech straight from our top-tier marathon shoes.”
WHAT’S NEW IN THE BOSTON 13?
- More Midsole Magic: An increased stack of Lightstrike Pro gives runners a more cushioned, propulsive feel without sacrificing responsiveness.
- Comfort Upgrades: A newly padded tongue and collar improve fit and step-in feel—so you stay locked in and comfortable at speed.
- LIGHTTRAXION Outsole: Borrowed from the Adios Pro 4, this strategically placed grip system cuts weight while delivering serious traction in all conditions.
And yes, adidas has brought the heritage vibes. Ahead of Marathon Monday, the Boston 13 launches in a limited-edition EQT (Equipment) colorway—a nod to 1991 Boston Marathon staff uniforms and the retro running era.
Part of a full head-to-toe EQT collection, it includes lightweight running gear in teal, white and black that celebrates adidas’ legacy while looking ahead to the future of performance.
