Between running Louis Vuitton and making noise at every Paris Fashion Week, Pharrell still finds time to reimagine the future of performance footwear with adidas. His latest creation: the Humanrace Adizero EVO SL.


With a design rooted in the striking elite DNA of the Adios Pro EVO 1, this version is built for the full range of everyday movement, made for purpose-led runners and those who want to look and feel fast. Speed, style, and intention come wrapped in one package.

The EVO SL continues the record-breaking Adizero line, tuned for real runners who want tech without compromise. At its core is Lightstrike Pro foam, providing responsive cushioning and a ride that feels alive underfoot. Every stride feels sharp, every transition smooth, with power delivered straight to the pavement.


White and black bases are accented with green, blue, and brown striping. Pharrell’s colour choices are intentional, tying back to nature and the idea of unity through movement. It’s performance gear with a pulse, and a statement that every run means something.

Pharrell has already proven he can turn heads in high fashion. Here, he brings the same precision to running culture. The EVO SL is proof that Humanrace isn’t chasing trends, but creating rituals rooted in stillness, and redefining running as more than just mileage. This shoe speaks to performance and recovery, acceleration and reset. It’s built to be as much about the slow moments as it is about the fast ones.



The EVO SL White is available now in-store and online, while the EVO SL Black is offered exclusively online.
