The Adidas Adizero SL on a road.

Adidas is known for their famous three stripes, track suits, and of course their running shoes. But they aren't a brand that puts all their engineering budget into just a couple of flagship products, meaning the choice of shoe can be a bit overwhelming. In this article, we look at what's on offer at the Adidas store, both super fresh upstarts and lingering favorites, and pit them against one another for speed, comfort, and all of the other factors that make running shoes genuinely running shoes.

Why we'll go more into detail about how we pick these best shoes at the bottom of the page, there are some things you should know now. For starters, Adidas offers over 100 types of men's running shoes at the time of this writing. It's one of the reasons we make such a list, to help you pare down the list to something manageable. However, you should also know that Adidas already subcategorizes their shoes into four categories should you want to pick your own;
Road running
,
race running
,
trail running
, and
track 'n' field
shoes. They also offer a
running shoe quiz
to help you find a shoe or two you'll likely like, should nothing on our list appeal to your interests.
