adidas and technical running brand SATISFY have announced a multi-season partnership with product releases planned throughout 2026 and beyond. The brands launched the new collaboration through a unique running experience in the Sonoran Desert alongside the reveal of their debut drop, the ADIZERO ADIOS PRO 4 SATISFY. Bringing together the race-day performance innovation of adidas and the culture-first creative perspective of SATISFY, the collaboration explores a new expression of contemporary running culture where elite performance, identity, community, and self-expression connect.

Stephan Scholten, Vice President of Product at adidas, notes that the partnership aims to elevate performance, innovation, culture, and community to move running forward in an authentic way. The brands create a new aesthetic language for running that allows runners to express identity and individuality while remaining rooted in elite performance. Scholten believes the creative tension between the two distinct perspectives can inspire new ways of experiencing the sport as running culture evolves.
The collaboration launched through The Circle Pit, a new running concept that goes beyond traditional track races. Set at the pump track of the Naranja Park in Oro Valley, Arizona, The Circle Pit challenges traditional race formats through a closed-loop running experience. The event combines endurance, sound, movement, and community into a single immersive environment.
Daniel Groh, Chief Brand Officer of SATISFY, states that the brands want to continue expanding the language and perception of running culture. Groh explains that this collaboration avoids simply combining logos. The project exists where authentic performance and cultural relevance meet, allowing both brands to remain true to their identities while creating something that pushes each perspective further.
The ADIZERO ADIOS PRO 4 SATISFY changes one of the world’s most successful racing silhouettes through the lens of emotion, attitude, and cultural expression. The design combines the proven race-day innovation of adidas with the disruptive visual language of SATISFY to create a product that challenges conventional ideas of performance running.
Design features include an asymmetric color fade inspired by mismatching shoes worn in skate culture and DIY spray-paint techniques. The matte silver Energy Rods draw inspiration from off-road buggies. The limited-edition silhouette retains the proven performance innovations of the ADIZERO ADIOS PRO franchise. This includes full-length Lightstrike Pro foam for energy return, race-tuned Continental rubber grip with LIGHTTRAXION technology, and carbon-infused Energy Rods 2.0.
The Lightstrike Pro foam runs the length of the midsole to provide energy return for the race-day stride. The Lightlock upper utilizes a performance-tuned material with one-way stretch that adapts to the foot for a locked-in racing fit. Runners experience control at speed with hyperzoned grip, derived from pressure map data. Carbon-fibre Energy Rods 2.0 provide a smooth heel-to-toe transition.
Specific design details feature an asymmetric 360 color fade inspired by DIY spray painting, contrast stitching, and matte silver energy rods. The shoe incorporates signature SATISFY colors including army green, earth brown, and core black, alongside reflective metallic 3-Stripes. The overall look makes the shoes appear a different color from every angle, both lateral and medial.
The ADIZERO ADIOS PRO 4 SATISFY will be available from May 22, 2026, on SATISFY website. The product launches on May 25, 2026, depending on geography, on the CONFIRMED APP, at adidas website, and via the adidas flagship application.
