Our Top Picks
adidas Galaxy 6 - £45
Ideal for taking your first steps into the world of parkrun, the Galaxy 6 offers Cloudfoam cushioning, with an Ortholite insole, which gives excellent comfort from the moment you step in. An airy mesh upper helps to stop your feet overheating and uses a minimum of 50% recycled material as part of adidas’ push to create more sustainable performance technology.

Offering a more versatile build, designed to take you from a gym session to visiting friends, the Duramo will also get you around the 5k parkrun course. It uses superlight cushioning for a soft feel underfoot, while the mesh upper helps air flow for a cooler feel.
adidas Questar - £70
Designed to combine comfort and performance, the Questar uses lightweight Bounce cushioning to give a sensation of flexible comfort underfoot. The lightweight and breathable upper sees a Geofit padded collar introduced for a snug, secure feel.
adidas Supernova 3 - £90
With improved cushioning, and a lower carbon footprint, the Supernova 2 hits a price point that starts to introduce pinnacle technology. The Supernova 2 combines excellent quality Bounce midsole foam, with the top end plushness that you get from Boost, giving a superior sensation, improved bounce, and excellent durability. It is also made with a 27% lower carbon footprint than its previous version. With a new more padded tongue and improved comfort, you get a luxurious sensation to help you glide around the course.
adidas Adizero Adios 8 - £120
The Adios 8 features a predominantly Lightstrike midsole with a forefoot wedge of Lightstrike Pro. This design ensures reliability and durability while offering a burst of energetic foam where it matters most. TORSIONRODS 2.0 contribute midfoot stiffness and stability, aiding smooth transitions and force transfer with each stride. The Adios 8 strikes the perfect balance, providing a fast and reliable shoe for both race day and training over shorter distances.
adidas Adizero Boston 12 - £140
The Boston is designed for training days on your way to your next race day win. Capable of running up to marathon distances, it combines Lightstrike Pro with a durable Lightstrike EVA foam, providing a fast shoe with the toughness to survive your daily runs.
adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 9 £170
Built for race day, and specialising in the 5k to half marathon distances, the Takumi Sen 8 is tuned for a lightweight, barely there feel. It combines LIGHTSTRIKE PRO with ENERGYRODS in the midsole, and a slightly lower stack height than many modern race shoes. Not exactly a racing flat these days, the propulsive power of modern superfoams comes to the fore in this pinnacle short distance racer.
