Adidas is set to pay tribute to the late Grete Waitz with the release of the Adizero Adios Pro 4 "To Run is to Live," commemorating the 45th anniversary of her record-breaking run at the 1979 New York Marathon. As the world prepares to celebrate this historic event, this special edition sneaker honors Waitz, the first woman to complete the marathon in under two and a half hours.
This colorway, reminiscent of the one seen in 2023 on the Adizero Adios Pro 3, features a classic cream upper adorned with red-stripe tooling and scripture at the heel. However, this iteration takes a step further by dedicating an homage to Waitz at the heel, marking her incredible achievement that forever changed the landscape of long-distance running.
With the New York Marathon just days away on November 3rd, anticipation builds for the official announcement regarding the release date of this remarkable sneaker, which is expected to arrive around that time.
Stay tuned for more updates.
