The Pharrell x adidas Adizero EVO SL includes two collaborative colorways—“Footwear White” and “Core Black." Each is accented with Pharrell’s signature palette of green, blue, and brown stripes. Built on the EVO SL platform with Lightstrike Pro cushioning and Continental rubber, this iteration maintains the shoe's original lightweight, rocker-geometry design while introducing subtle branding like Humanrace text on the heel and contrasted tongue labels.
Slated for release in August 2025, the pack launches in Europe on August 1 with a broader release expected shortly after. These limited editions make Pharrell’s first foray into adidas Running more accessible than the Adios Pro Evo 1, while staying true to performance – with mesh upper, Lightstrike Pro midsole, and grippy tread – and culture, through carefully curated color blocking. The Pharrell x EVO SL proves that heritage running design and street style can comfortably coexist.
