adidas Dropset Elite Men's Training Shoes

adidas' newest innovation for fitness racing, the Dropset Elite, is their fastest yet. Developed in collaboration with elite hybrid athletes around the world, the shoes power your pace at full speed and full strength.

Lightweight Woven Mesh Upper

Engineered for durability and breathability, the Dropset Elite utilises a lightweight, woven mesh upper. Strategic perforations in the fabric allow a constant, fresh supply of cool air to keep you comfortable, especially during tough workout sessions and when competing in hybrid races. This construction stops you from overheating, allowing every step to feel as fresh as the last, and quick-drying properties stop a build-up of sweat from causing distractions. These soft, flexible materials provide unrestricted comfort, sit soft against your foot and wrap securely around them to keep them supported during intense movement. TPU overlays protect your foot and the shoes in areas where it's most valuable, helping to prevent excessive wear or tear from causing damage to your shoes and ruining your hybrid training or racing sessions. A Footadapt sockliner supports control of your body's movement by increasing foot awareness, so you can concentrate on heavy lifting. A secure lacing system locks down your midfoot and works with the flat-laying tongue to ensure a comfortable fit, reducing in-shoe slipping or excessive mobility.

Lightstrike Pro Midsole

adidas' best-in-class foam compound, the Dropset Elite, features a double layer of ultralightweight Lightstrike Pro. Ample cushioning allows for a soft, plush landing and explosive responsiveness during speedy runs. Matching your elite running shoes in a unique hybrid package, the Dropset Elite will comfortably propel your every stride into the next, and thanks to shock-absorbing properties, it helps to absorb impact when striking down on tough ground. This will significantly reduce the risks of injury or discomfort when you're tackling your next 1km section or burpee broad jump, for next-level speed. Working effortlessly with the two layers of foam, a carbon fibre-infused Energy Rim and adidas' race-winning energyrods rocker system work in tandem to support a smooth and stable heel-to-toe transition, and provide outstanding responsiveness.

Continental Rubber Outsole

The Continental Rubber outsole is highly durable and long-lasting, providing support on gym floors and hybrid race surfaces. Its tough rubber ensures controlled movement during transitions and offers reliable grip, helping you stay focused. It is strategically placed in high-wear zones and contact points to offer sustained support and comfort.
