Sports apparel retailer adidas has once again partnered with Tinman Elite, a professional running team, to release a new line of running shoes for its 'ADIZERO' performance collection. The standout piece is a fresh take on the adidas' 'BOSTON 10' model.
"The Tinman Elite BOSTON 10 is probably the most versatile shoe adidas Running has ever released," said Sam Parsons, the Creative Director of Tinman Elite. Features of the new shoe include a 'LIGHTSTRIKE PRO' midsole foam, refined 'ENERGY RODS,' a soft upper, and adidas' signature 'CONTINENTAL RUBBER' outsoles. These hard work-inspired runners come in a crisp white colorway that consists of subtle gold and black highlights.
Alongside the 'ADIZERO BOSTON 10,' is a unisex shoe designed by Tinman Elite called the 'ADIZERO XCS SPIKE,' which is built specifically for all-terrain running.
