The complete Adidas Adizero Boston lineage

The Adizero Boston is Adidas's plated performance trainer, the training companion to the Adios Pro race shoe and the middle of the Adizero pyramid. It is really two lines wearing one name: through the Boston 9 (2020) it was a low, firm, Boost-based shoe you could race in, and from the 10 (2021) it is a maximal Lightstrike Pro trainer with EnergyRods, a reboot loyalists grieved loudly for two generations until the softer 12 (2023) won reviewers back and the 13 (May 2025, after a skipped 2024) settled the argument. Do not confuse it with the Adizero Adios, the low-stack racing flat, or the Adios Pro, the carbon-rod marathon racer; the Boston is the durable one you train in. This page tracks every version since 2020.

Replacing a shoe you bought two versions ago?

Most runners skip a version or two rather than buying every update. These compare a version against the one two updates on, with the net change rather than a single step.

Thinking about leaving the Adizero Boston?

We ranked the shoes that ride closest to it (a firm, rod-plated tempo trainer built for uptempo miles and high mileage) and called out the honest differences.
