Adidas Adizero Rose 2.5

 Adizero Rose 2.5 is known for its slogan, game changing speed meets super lightweight stability. Fans frustrated by the short tongue or gore-ankle strap on the Rose 2 will defenitely love the Rose 2.5. GEOFIT foam fits soft but supportive around the ankle, pairing perfectly with a long mesh tongue. This addition, matched with a slimmer silo, boosted lockdown by a long shot, though some wiggle room still persists.
