Adizero Takumi Sen 8

RacingReleased 2021-12-10JP

Adizero Takumi Sen 8 is a lightweight racing model for holding speed in 5K to 10K road events. Five fiberglass EnergyRods are tuned by section to preserve ground feel and forefoot flexibility. The dual-layer LIGHTSTRIKE PRO platform and a carbon-infused nylon heel plate support the transition from landing to toe-off. Continental rubber covers key traction zones, with textile rubber elsewhere to keep coverage light.
