The Tinman Elite professional running team inspires runners around the globe. It is no surprise a world leader in athletic wear like adidas would want to collaborate with them. The new adidas x Tinman Elite Second Collaboration includes a line of long-distance running shoes inspired by the glory of standing on the podium wearing a gold medal. The Elite Second Collaboration includes four top-level running shoes, the AVANTI TYO, Takumi Sen 8, and the Tinman Elite SL20.3. All models nod to the glory of gold with metallic accents. The Tinman Elite AVANTI TYO is a racing shoe specifically tailored for speed. It features the core elements of the ADIZERO AVANTI TYO – such as the same Lightstrike Pro midsole foam, flexible mesh upper offering ventilation and refined ENERGYRODS providing a snappy, propulsive ride with high traction.
The Tinman Elite TAKUMI SEN 8 is designed for 5km and 10km races. Lightstrike Pro cushioning energizes the wearer’s stride while ENERGYRODS add stiffness for snappy toe-offs. This shoe is designed to support athletes in reaching their next personal best. The Tinman Elite SL20.3 is a training shoe made to endure the daily work that goes into taking home the gold. It is light and flexible with lightstrike cushioning to keep runners comfortable through even the most rigorous endurance training. All three shoes feature the signature Tinman Elite axe logo on the medial side of the shoe and Tinman Elite’s design DNA, which is visible from the smallest details in the eyelets to the bold lightstrike metallic gold midsole.
