adidas has revealed the Hyperboost Edge, a new lightweight super-trainer set to begin a new era of road running. The shoe combines three breakthrough technologies: the new Hyperboost Pro midsole, a Primeweave upper and a Lighttraxion outsole to balance comfort and responsiveness in every stride.
Hyperboost Edge has been designed as the first adidas lightweight non-plated super-trainer. Crafted with no plates or stiffening elements, a new foam works naturally through the gait cycle creating a lightweight and propulsive ride. The shoe weighs just 255grams* but delivers supreme comfort and high energy return.
“We wanted to bring something truly transformative to runners,” said Patrick Nava, GM adidas Running. “Hyperboost Edge is where the Power of Three comes to life—cushioning, energy, and lightness combined seamlessly in one shoe. By harnessing these three elements without compromise, we’ve created a supertrainer that feels light on foot, responsive through every stride, and cushioned under impact—supporting runners across all types of mileage.”
Max Cushioning
At the heart is the Hyperboost Pro foam, a high-performance material that provides maximum cushioning. Drawing on adidas’ elite racing midsole technologies, the new foam formulation is optimized for every type of run, from daily sessions to high mileage training. A bold 45mm rearfoot stack and 6mm drop delivers a uniquely energetic feel across the entire foot.
The Hyperboost Pro foam has been designed using proven material insights and extensive laboratory testing, by adidas and through consumer research undertaken by the German Sport University Cologne. In a study of 60 runners, Hyperboost Edge outperformed runners’ current footwear across key performance and comfort metrics: 73% of runners preferred its energy return and 77% perceived softer cushioning. More than half preferred its overall comfort. A majority agreed that it delivers a better overall running experience.
Complementing the new foam technology is a Primeweave super-soft, hyper-light woven upper. It delivers effortless comfort and reliable lockdown for a secure fit. Integrated heel pods provide targeted cushioning and added stability around the heel, enhancing step-in comfort without distraction. Soft, premium materials and a cushioned, secure heel work together to support every run.
The newly designed outsole is inspired by adidas race shoe DNA. The lightweight, full-length Lighttraxion material delivers high traction and grip. Built on a thinner, lighter base, it brings the adidas Adizero performance mindset to everyday running. It helps every step feel stable and confident while maintaining durable grip across varied conditions.
Beyond performance, the shoe introduces a new design aesthetic for adidas Running shoes. The bold, inflated midsole silhouette draws inspiration from industrial forms, placing the focus firmly on the Hyperboost Pro technology beneath the foot. For the first time in adidas running footwear, the iconic three stripes are positioned on the stacked midsole, intentionally highlighting the performance engine. The upper is clean and progressive, creating a sleek future-facing look with minimal detailing, hidden eyelets and light-bonded elements.
Priced at $200, and launched in a bold red color, the Hyperboost Edge is available now at adidas stores and adidas.com. The first release will be followed by new colors and releases from May 1.
