‘Adistar’

A resurgence of the adidas Adistar

You can trace the adidas Adistar roots to adidas’s long history of incredible sports gear since the brand’s inception byAdi Dassler in 1949. The Adistar name has made a bit of a comeback recently, as a sturdy trainer with extra cushioning for longer runs.

The Adistar gets its superior cushioning through a combination of a maximal midsole with a net upper, to give you a little flexibility, and a geometrically specific design that’s supposed to give you a smoother step. Some of the more recent adidas trainers include higher stack heights and energy-return foams for more protection.

What you need to know about Adistar shoes by adidas

Adistar shoes by adidascome in various trims, from high-cushion daily trainers to lighter, more responsive variants. If you are looking for the kind of shoe that’ll give you protection over long distances, the heavier models are excellent. However, if you’re looking for an everyday model that’ll hold up on the hills, have a look at the lighter model 3s and 4s.

Some of the more recent updates use foam stacks that are designed to give you a smoother transition and encourage forward motion, and the higher-stack are a solid choice if you’re preparing for longer runs or uneven terrain.

One of the great things about the adidas Adistar, is how well it goes with other adidas clothing. If you need a good cool-down or warm-up cover, grab an adidas tracksuit and really look the part.

Does cushioning really matter?

The best settings for your pair of adidas Adistar are long steady runs, recovery miles, and days when you need to get a workout in but your feet aren’t coping. Remember, the higher the foam stack, the softer the impact. If you want a tidy summer contrast, pair one of these trainers with airy pieces likemen’s linen trousers.

If you’re expecting any wet paths, look for a pair with GORE-TEX or water-resistant trim; otherwise, the mesh versions breathe better on long, hot outings.
