adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 5 Running Shoes

Created by master Japanese shoemaker Omori, these neutral running shoes are ideal for training on the track. They have a breathable mesh upper with stitched-in reinforcement for targeted support. The precision fit gives you a locked-in feel for faster runs. An ultra-lightweight outsole delivers a smooth and flexible ride.

Forged Fibre Upper

Constructed using a forged mesh, the upper of the Adizero Takumi Sen 5 provides an abundance of flexibility, breathability and support. Designed using research based on Aramis insights, the mesh has been specifically engineered to provide more support in places its need the most and less support in areas where free movement is important. Not only do the perforations determine levels of support they also work to increase ventilation so you can remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. The mesh allows cool air to circulate inside the shoe whilst, at the same time allowing hot muggy air to escape; creating a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in. Completing the upper is a lace closure system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

Boost Midsole

A lightweight Boost engineered midsole is embedded into the Adizero Takumi Sen 5. 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.

Continental Rubber Outsole

Developed using a continental rubber outsole, the Adizero Takumi Sen 5 Running Shoes ensure extraordinary traction in wet and dry conditions. Inspired by tyre technology, Continental rubber supplies traction on wet and dry 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. DSP Quickstrike has also been used on the outsole to ensure added traction. Designed for high speed running and located under the forefoot, this allows you to push yourself further than ever before while retaining traction and complete control.
