When adidas and SATISFY announced their multi-season partnership earlier this year, they didn’t do it quietly. Rather than the usual campaign shots and carefully curated launch party, the adidas x SATISFY descended on the Arizona desert to stage The Circle Pit – a surreal closed-loop running event inspired by the swirling mosh pits of punk and metal shows.
It was equal measures theatrical and divisive, but whatever you thought of it, it got people talking. More importantly, it established what this partnership is supposed to be about: adidas brings the serious performance hardware, while SATISFY supplies the Parisian running brand’s sideways take on how the sport should look and feel. The debut Adizero Adios Pro 4 SATISFY followed, and now the partnership is entering its second chapter with two new shoes.
The latest adidas x SATISFY drop consists of a reworked Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 and two versions of the Adizero Adios, covering everything from all-out marathon racing to quicker everyday sessions.
Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 SATISFY
The headline act is difficult to miss. SATISFY has taken adidas’ featherweight Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 racing shoe and given it a full Silver Met treatment, washing the midsole in metallic silver and carrying the finish through the rest of the shoe.
Underneath the new look is some seriously specialised running tech. An engineered mesh upper keeps weight down, while carbon-infused Energy Rods 2.0 follow the metatarsals and curve into a rocker positioned at 60% of the platform. Full-length Lightstrike Pro Evo foam measures 39mm at the heel and 36mm at the forefoot.
SATISFY has made a nice practical alteration too. The standard shoe’s pared-back outsole has been replaced by full Continental rubber, modified to provide greater grip and durability. Makes sense for a special-release shoe that, presumably, its owners might want to wear more than a handful of times.
Adizero Adios SATISFY
At the slightly less extreme end of the spectrum is the Adizero Adios SATISFY. Based on the Adios 9 platform, it’s intended for track sessions, tempo runs and shorter, faster efforts up to 10K rather than race day.
Full-length Lightstrike Pro cushioning sits relatively close to the ground, with a nylon shank providing stability through the midfoot. Underneath, a Lighttraxion outsole uses Continental rubber at the forefoot for extra traction.
Up top, there’s a woven LIGHTLOCK upper with an internal band running from the eyelets towards the heel, while serrated laces and SATISFY’s Slinglaunch heel construction are there to keep everything locked down when the pace picks up. Matte-gold SATISFY branding and the brand’s familiar ‘STAY POSSESSED’ slogan beneath the heel flap finish things off.
There are two colourways to choose from. Tech Earth is the moodier option, pairing an earthy brown upper with a matching granular midsole. Easy Blue goes in the opposite direction with a pale blue finish and pearl-metallic, reflective 3-Stripes intended to catch the light on pre-dawn runs.
The limited-edition adidas x SATISFY Adizero Adios Pro Evo 2 in Silver Met and Adizero Adios SATISFY in Tech Earth and Easy Blue launch on 30 October 2026 at 4pm CET through SATISFY’s website and SATISFY SUPPLY in Paris. Wider availability has also been reported through selected adidas Running retailers.
