Built on adidas' Pro Evo 1, adidas and Pharrell Williams’ Humanrace released the EVOLUTION Pro, a collaborative design that introduces touch-reactive elements for a new sensory experience. This avant-garde footwear design sees 5D Raised Dot Stripe Branding and a 5D Raised Dot Pattern added on the toe and heel areas, adding a tactile dimension to the running experience that goes beyond pure performance support.
Beyond its haptic components, this futuristic shoe sports a wider sole, a mono mesh upper, and a tonal lacing system to crossover a signature shape with one of adidas' most innovative and lightest-ever running models to date. The adidas x Humanrace EVOLUTION Pro is available in limited quantities on Humanrace and through select partner retailers globally.
