Forget changing shoes, the adidas Velocade lets you slip into a seamless flow from the spin class to the city streets. It’s a versatile champion for the athlete who craves efficiency without sacrificing style.
Imagine crushing your indoor cycling session, feeling the surge of power with every pedal stroke. The Velocade’s stiff nylon plate transmits your energy like a dream, yet magically transforms when you step off the bike. The front two-thirds maintain that pedalling performance, but the heel flexes and grips to make walking a breeze. No more awkward shuffling and clunking – just confident strides to your smoothie (or wherever your post-workout routine takes you).
This adaptability is all thanks to the adidas Velocade’s hidden two-bolt cleat system. It’s like a secret weapon tucked away beneath the smooth mesh upper. Clip in for an intense workout, then clip out and conquer your day without ever having to change shoes. Ben Herath, VP Design at adidas Specialist Sports, sums it up perfectly: “Velocade tackles two major workout hurdles – time and equipment. No more shoe limbo between locker room and spin studio, no waiting to swap footwear. It’s pure, uninterrupted flow.“
adidas Velocade is also about comfort and performance. Weighing in at a featherweight 230g per shoe, it feels like an extension of your foot, not a cumbersome burden. The breathable mesh upper keeps you cool, while the adjustable zig-zag Velcro closure (borrowed and perfected from the adidas indoor cycling shoe) ensures a snug, personalised fit.
This shoe is a game changer for the versatile athlete. Whether you’re a gym warrior, a commuter champion or an adventurer exploring new terrains, the adidas Velocade lets you clip into the power of cycling and seamlessly navigate the rest of your routine.
adidas Velocade is available in “Crystal Jade”, “Carbon Black” and “Grey White” for €150 on adidas.com
