New adidas Adizero Boston 13: Built for Speed, Designed for Endurance

High-performance innovation meets long-distance comfort in adidas’ ultimate training shoe.

The adidas Adizero Boston 13 is here and it’s faster, softer, and more advanced than ever. Combining decades of elite running heritage with cutting-edge performance tech, the Boston 13 is engineered for runners who demand consistency, responsiveness, and comfort in every stride. Whether you’re clocking tempo runs or preparing for your next marathon, this shoe brings world-class engineering straight to your training rotation.

What’s New in the adidas Boston 13?

Launched globally on May 6, 2025, the Boston 13 introduces key updates over its predecessor, the Boston 12 making it more comfortable, more cushioned, and more efficient without losing its lightweight DNA.

1. More Cushioning with Lightstrike Pro

The Boston 13 now features 13.8% more Lightstrike Pro foam, resulting in a smoother and softer ride. It enhances shock absorption over long distances, while still maintaining the firm, snappy energy return the Adizero line is known for.

2. Improved Comfort with Refined Upper

adidas responded to runner feedback by updating the tongue and collar padding, giving your feet a plusher, more locked-in feel. The breathable stretch mesh upper molds to your foot, reducing pressure points on longer runs.

3. New Lighttraxion Outsole for Grip & Lightness

Borrowed from the elite-level Adios Pro 4, the Lighttraxion outsole is redesigned for optimized grip and reduced weight. Continental™ rubber is strategically placed for multi-surface traction, whether you’re on the track, pavement, or wet road.

4. Upgraded ENERGYRODS 2.0

Embedded inside the midsole, the ENERGYRODS 2.0 carbon-infused rods improve energy transfer and propulsion while minimizing fatigue. The updated geometry increases stability during transitions, especially through the forefoot.

Limited EQT Edition: A Nod to Marathon History

To honor its heritage, adidas released the Boston 13 in a special EQT edition, inspired by the organizer uniforms of the 1991 Boston Marathon. The colorway fuses history with performance, making it a standout option for collectors and loyal fans alike.

Who Should Choose the Boston 13?

The Adizero Boston 13 is ideal for:

  • Runners looking for a daily trainer for long runs and tempo sessions
  • Athletes who want a training shoe that complements race-day models like the Adizero Adios Pro 4
  • Runners seeking comfort, speed, and consistency in one lightweight package
  • Neutral-stride athletes who prefer a standard fit and responsive feel
