Satisfy Running and adidas are bringing Satisfy's fashion-minded performance approach to the Adios Pro Evo 2, a marathon racing shoe aimed at competitive runners rather than casual wear. The collaboration keeps the shoe centered on speed with a stripped-down build for serious distance runners chasing race-day times.
Its ultralight construction and efficiency-led shape are meant for hard efforts over long road miles, not daily errands or easy jogs. The design is built to cut weight and keep energy directed toward late-race pace. adidas will release the shoe on October 30, 2026, with sales set to run through adidas.
At $600, the Adios Pro Evo 2 crosses from specialist racing gear into collector pricing. That turns the collaboration into a convergence play between elite run technology and fashion, widening its audience from dedicated marathoners to buyers who collect standout sneakers.
