I’ve tested over 60 pairs of running shoes in 2025 and the best one just hit its lowest ever price
I’ve been hailing the quality of the Adidas Adizero Evo SL ever since I tested the shoe in January this year, and it remains my favorite new running shoe of 2025 despite the many excellent sneakers I’ve reviewed in the months since.
Along with being a great all-rounder that’s fun to use for any kind of run, the Adidas Evo SL is also good value when compared to most running shoes. Even so, I’ve been waiting for discounts to appear, and they finally have in the wake of the Black Friday sales.
Right now you can get the Adidas Adizero Evo SL for $105 in the Adidas sale, which is the lowest price I’ve ever seen the shoe.
Several colors of the Adidas Evo SL have been reduced to $105 in the Adidas sale, with a wide range of sizes still available. This is the biggest discount I’ve seen on my favorite running shoe of 2025. The shoe is selling fast at this price with many colors of the men’s shoe in particular already sold out, so move fast if you want to grab a fantastic shoe at a great price.
The Adidas Adizero Evo SL is certainly one of the best running shoes available right now, and can serve different roles for different runners. For some it’s a versatile shoe that you can use for easy and fast runs alike, but if you prefer more cushioned sneaker for your easy runs, the Evo SL can slot into a rotation as a speed shoe for workouts and races.
While it’s not incredibly cheap, I rate the Evo SL as one of the best value shoes available because the only shoes I think can rival its performance are super-trainers that cost nearer $200, or even more than $200, in the case of the Asics Megablast.
The reason that deals are finally starting to appear on the Evo SL is that Adidas is about to launch its successor, which I got a chance to see at The Running Event in Texas last week. The new Adidas Adizero Evo SL Woven only changes the upper on the shoe though, so grabbing the original Evo SL in this deal is certainly the smarter buy in my book.
