adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 8 Running Shoes

There's nothing holding you back. You've put in the work, and you've set your sights on the finish line. In these adidas running shoes, your race-day footwear is on-point too. A foot-hugging fit and an ultralight build ensure a smooth, speedy ride. Responsive cushioning helps you tap into your target tempo, then turn it up a notch.

The upper of the Adizero Takumi Sen 8 Running Shoes will provide you with exceptional lightweight breathability. Air is easily able to enter and exit the shoes, and this process will ensure that you will always feel ventilated no matter how hard your effort is. As you begin to sweat, the moisture is also able to escape from the shoe, which will keep your feet feeling fresh and dry. The construction is extremely lightweight, which will keep the overall weight of the shoe down to a minimum. This will mean that you will feel like you can push yourself further and faster than ever before. The mesh will also hug the feet, which will lock you in place for a more efficient stride. Thicker material surrounds the toes and the heel, providing protection from heavy forces and impacts. A traditional lacing system as well as a compression tongue system will provide you with a comfortable and secured fit.

Designed to provide complete comfort from the moment you put them on till the moment you take them off, the adidas Adizero Takumi Sen Running Shoes have been constructed using Lightstrike Cushioning. Lightstrike cushioning spares your joints as you strike down on hard, unforgiving surfaces whilst also propelling you forward to provide you with explosive movement and enduring speed. The light and springy ride supports your feet through the gait cycle whilst remaining as lightweight as possible to ensure you can reach new PBs. Working in tandem with Lightstrike cushioning is a boost foam wedge that is embedded into the heel. The boost foam compound provides endless energy return from heel strike through to the toe-off phase of the gait cycle. It features hundreds of visible energy capsules that store and unleash endless energy every time your foot hits the ground, meaning that every step is charged. When your heel hits the floor, the boost particles compress and store kinetic energy; as you transition through to mid-stance, the boost particles relax and release their stored energy, which propels you forward with an explosive take-off. The boost midsole will change your runs forever, thanks to its energy-returning properties. In addition, when the boost capsules compress to store energy, they cushion the foot from impacts. The boost particles only compress so far, which means that they also provide light support whilst on the road. In addition, a midfoot torsion system moves with the foot for a smooth, supportive transition from landing to push-off. The system exists to increase stability and allow the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently for added protection, control and an easy heel-to-toe transition.

Developed using a continental rubber outsole, the Adizero Takumi Sen Running Shoes ensure extraordinary traction in wet and dry conditions. Inspired by tyre technology, Continental rubber supplies traction on varied surfaces supplying you with amazing and secure footing on uneven surfaces, giving you no excuse not to run. The outsole is designed to be just as durable as the Boost midsole, leaving you with a resilient, cushioned and grippy running shoe. Stretchweb completes the Adizero Takumi Sen by ensuring a flexible and energised ride. The web pattern has a large surface area that flexes naturally for increased ground feel and traction on varied terrain. The StretchWeb outsole lowers the amount of pressure that is generated during the footstrike and in turn, lessens the impact on your feet to minimise injury and provid
