Maximum Cushioning for Every Mile.

Built for runners who prioritise comfort on long-distance runs, the adidas Adistar 5 Running Shoes deliver a smooth, supportive ride designed to keep you moving confidently from start to finish. Combining advanced cushioning technology with a stable platform, these road running shoes help reduce fatigue and keep every kilometre feeling comfortable.

At the heart of the Adistar 5 is adidas Dreamstrike cushioning, engineered to provide the ideal balance of softness and stability. The high-stack midsole absorbs impact while maintaining a responsive feel, making it ideal for daily training, recovery runs, and longer distances.

The lightweight engineered monomesh upper offers breathable comfort and features a supportive midfoot fit panel that creates a secure, personalised lockdown. Underfoot, a rocker-shaped midsole geometry promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions, helping improve running efficiency and maintain momentum throughout your run.

A durable Lighttraxion outsole provides reliable grip on road surfaces while keeping overall weight low, ensuring confidence with every stride.
