Adidas’ ADIZERO Franchise Dominates Road and Track Races
The ADIZERO franchise’s ground-breaking technology helped elite athletes secure 10 World Championship titles, break two world records, and win half of all World Major Marathons.
Alberto Uncini Manganelli, General Manager / Senior Vice President Running & Credibility Sports at adidas, expresses confidence that the franchise will continue to top the podiums in 2023.
Early 2023 Success for the ADIZERO Series
“2022 was an unprecedented year for the ADIZERO franchise and our athletes. But we never stop; we always believe that we can push ourselves further to develop the best products for our athletes by working alongside them and our ambitious running community and tapping into the latest innovation and technology,” Manganelli said.
“That is why, with the First World Major Marathon on the horizon, we are confident that 2023 will be no different from last year – ADIZERO will be the most winning franchise again,” he added.
The prediction is off to a great start, as Abdesa Tola Adera and Tamirat Tola won the Dubai marathon last month wearing the ADIZERO Adios Pro 3.
