The countdown to the 2026 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has accelerated with adidas unveiling its official race merchandise collection ahead of the event’s latest push toward Abbott World Marathon Major status.

Inspired by Cape Town’s running culture and coastal identity, the range blends performance apparel with bold African-inspired design. The collection features Dusky Petrol and Lucid Aquamarine colourways, complemented by gold detailing symbolising the marathon’s growing global ambition.

The range includes technical race jackets, training T-shirts, caps, visors and the latest version of the adizero Boston 13 running shoe.

The Boston 13 features adidas’ Lightstrike Pro midsole and energy rod system, alongside a uniquely African print design created specifically for the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon.

The collection is available online and at selected adidas stores nationwide.

“Every year the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon takes a stride forward with regards to its scale and stature. This race is unique as it is distinctly African symbol of community, culture, and world-class running,” said Tom Brown.

“This collection allows runners and supporters alike to celebrate this special moment as Cape Town continues its push toward becoming Africa’s first Abbott World Marathon Major.”

As part of the build-up to race weekend, adidas will also host a marathon activation at the historic Union Castle Building square at the V&A Waterfront from 16 to 24 May.

The pop-up hub will stock official marathon merchandise and serve as a gathering point for runners through a series of daily events and community activities.

Among the scheduled events are long runs, recovery sessions, taper runs and shakeout runs, alongside product customisation opportunities. A DHL Stormers signing session is also planned for 19 May.

Runners preparing for race weekend will also have access to pre-race hair and nail services, while finishers can return with their medals for free engraving after the event.

The activation is aimed at creating a race-week atmosphere for local and international runners visiting Cape Town ahead of one of Africa’s flagship road running events.

Adidas celebrates running community and club support in SCTM ambition

The pulse of the Mother City’s running scene beats strongest far from the elite start line, in the clubs and communities that shape every stride taken across its roads. With the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon (SCTM) pursuing Abbott World Marathon Major status, adidas has placed the spotlight on the network of runners who have turned the sport into a city-wide movement.

From the Sea Point promenade to the streets of Khayelitsha and the shaded routes of Constantia, running has grown into a shared culture. Clubs such as Running Late Club, adidas Runners Cape Town, VOB Running Club and Khayelitsha Athletics Club have become central to that rise, offering structure, support and a sense of belonging.

adidas Runners Cape Town captain Drew Ngcaba said the impact of community extended beyond performance.

“adidas Runners saved my life. When I was recovering from knee surgery, I couldn’t run, I couldn’t train and I was in a dark place. But the community kept me going. Serving the community kept me going. That’s what it means to me,” said Ngcaba.

He added that the growth of the sport in Cape Town has been rapid.

“Running in the last few years has become a must-do. Races sell out within hours. It’s not just about elites anymore; brands like adidas create spaces where everyone can experience running. It elevates the whole city.”

At VOB Running Club, captain Elydia de Monk (pictured below) has witnessed the marathon’s evolution over more than a decade.

“Years ago, it was just another marathon. Now it’s exhilarating, there’s so much excitement. You see international runners and familiar faces on the route and it’s grown into something incredibly special for our city,” she said.

De Monk said the club’s focus remained on participation and milestones.

“My highlight is helping members run their first marathon, their first half and their first ultra. Crossing the finish line with them, that’s special. It’s about being part of someone’s first.”

In Khayelitsha, running has become a platform for identity and opportunity. Khayelitsha Athletics Club captain Siphiwo Melani (pictured below) said the sport offered more than physical benefits.

“When you’re outside, you think running is just waking up and running. Then you discover the community behind it, the organisation and structure. It gave me purpose and a sense of belonging,” said Melani.

He recalled a defining moment during the marathon.

“There was a young girl on the side of the road cheering. She didn’t know me, she just saw the Khayelitsha vest. That’s when I realised this is bigger than me. Khayelitsha is not a jungle. There are good things happening here. When thousands of people come to run here, it makes me proud. We are rewriting the story.”

Collaboration among clubs has also increased, with groups training together and supporting each other’s events as participation numbers continue to climb.

As Cape Town strengthens its bid for global marathon recognition, it is these communities that remain the foundation, carrying the city’s ambitions one step at a time.

adidas launches Supernova Rise 3 in new Glow Blue colourway

Runners chasing smooth kilometres have a fresh companion on the road as adidas unveils the Supernova Rise 3 in a striking Glow Blue colourway.

The latest update expands the brand’s comfort-focused Supernova franchise, a range designed for everyday runners who log steady miles through training blocks, recovery jogs and early morning pavement sessions.

First launched in December 2025, the Supernova Rise 3 builds on the blueprint of its award-winning predecessor with a series of design refinements aimed at delivering a softer and more natural stride.

The shoe has also received the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association, recognition that highlights its support for healthy foot function during regular running.

At the heart of the update sits a reworked full-length Dreamstrike+ midsole, the cushioning engine designed to absorb impact like a sponge soaking up rain on a winter training run. The updated foam formula brings a lighter and softer ride, with adidas reporting five percent less weight, 20 percent softer cushioning and 16 percent more foam underfoot.

That combination aims to help runners maintain rhythm across long training runs where tired legs often search for smooth momentum.

Above the midsole sits a newly engineered Primeweave upper, a woven structure designed to wrap around the foot with a secure yet flexible fit. The material adapts to movement in a way that mirrors the natural flex of a runner’s stride, offering support without restricting motion.

Beneath the shoe, the Lightraxion outsole introduces rod-like sculpting inspired by the anatomy of the foot. The pattern works to guide transitions from heel strike to toe-off, creating a rolling sensation similar to a runner flowing down a gentle downhill stretch.

The Supernova Rise 3 also includes several elements developed specifically around women’s biomechanics.

These features include a shoe last shaped to match the average structure of women’s feet, along with a central landing platform designed to promote stability during impact. Designers also incorporated an improved heel bevel built around insights into women’s landing angles.

Additional support arrives through a sock liner that places thicker foam beneath the arch, offering targeted cushioning during long runs.

Together these refinements shape a shoe that aims to keep runners moving smoothly through daily training mileage, where comfort often determines whether the final kilometres feel like a grind or a glide.

The Supernova Rise 3 in Glow Blue retails for R2 999 and is available in stores and online through adidas retail channels.

Three stripes, four rings: Audi Revolut F1 reveal 2026 kit with adidas

By Adnaan Mohamed

adidas and Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team have unveiled their first official teamwear collection, marking a significant milestone ahead of the team’s much-anticipated arrival on the Formula 1 grid in 2026.

The performance-focused range, launched on 19 February, includes around 160 pieces spanning apparel, footwear and accessories. Designed for drivers, engineers, mechanics and fans, the collection blends technical innovation with a clean, understated aesthetic.

The look is anchored in a monochromatic greyscale palette inspired by titanium elements of the Audi race car, with subtle red accents woven through the range. The effect is streamlined and purposeful – much like a car slicing through clean air on a qualifying lap.

At the centre of the collection are bespoke driver pieces for Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto. The collarless driver jersey features light grey three-stripe detailing on the shoulders, offset by red line highlights on the sleeves and inner neckline.

Team engineers are kitted out in close-fitting tees paired with oversized puffers and jackets, all tied together with subtle red detailing. Mechanics’ wear leans into utility black, charcoal and graphite tones, with jackets incorporating strategic zipper construction to increase pocket space. adidas’ CLIMACOOL technology is integrated to assist with temperature regulation in high-pressure trackside environments.

Footwear is headlined by a bespoke ADIZERO EVO SL model in grey and red. Built with a Lightstrike Pro midsole, the shoe delivers lightweight comfort while maintaining a minimalist design that complements the broader team look.

Michael Batz, Motorsport Category GM at adidas, described the launch as the formal start of the partnership on a competitive level.

“We are excited to officially mark the start of our journey with Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, through a full teamwear collection which features adidas’ signature design and best in class technology at the forefront. Expertly crafted for the team to introduce themselves to the grid with style, each piece embodies the power, strength, and design of the car to meet the overall build up to and race-day demands. We can’t wait to see it in the paddock and stands across upcoming race weekends!”

For Hülkenberg, the collaboration represents a symbolic moment.

“The first time representing two leading icons on the track. Wearing the three stripes next to the four rings is a huge moment, and I’m excited to put on the jersey that has been built with precision and driven forward by adidas’ highest level of technical detailing – meaning it delivers style, functionality and hopefully a lot of speed.”

Bortoleto emphasised the performance element behind the design.

“Working with adidas is an incredible opportunity for our team. In a sport fueled by constant advancement and innovation, having the best in the game designing pieces for athletes, to meet their needs to perform at the top, is incredible. Knowing our kit has been crafted with careful thought and tailored to what we require, makes that first moment that I get to wear it, alongside my team, in front of our fans, even more special.”

The collection is available from 19 February via adidas.co.za and selected global retailers.

When Marathon Mindsets Meet Motorsport Muscle

By Adnaan Mohamed

Formula One might be measured in tenths of a second, but championships are won the way marathons are run: through preparation, resilience and relentless attention to detail.

That philosophy sits at the heart of the new adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team 2026 teamwear collection. It’s  a performance wardrobe designed for those who live life in the fast lane, but think long-term.

Unveiled on 2 February 2026, the new drop marks year two of adidas’ partnership with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1, and like a second-season athlete, it’s leaner, smarter and more confident.

Maintaining the visual identity of its debut range, the collection evolves with sharper design codes inspired by Mercedes’ iconic colours, shapes and values.

This isn’t merch. It’s kit.

Built with the same mindset that shapes elite running apparel and high-performance motorsport engineering, the collection spans apparel, footwear and accessories tailored for every member of the team. That includes drivers, engineers, and mechanics while offering fans gear worthy of race day.

Designed like race equipment, worn like training gear

Every piece prioritises comfort, airflow and freedom of movement without sacrificing paddock-ready polish. Think of it as a perfectly balanced race car: stripped back, functional, yet unmistakably premium.

Driver wear takes centre stage. The authentic jerseys feature an all-over engineered shiny print inspired by unity and cohesion.

It’s a visual reminder that no championship is won alone. Subtle PETRONAS teal accents cut through the design, while adidas’ CLIMACOOL technology helps regulate temperature, keeping drivers cool and dry during long days off track.

Mechanics’ gear mirrors the efficiency of a pit stop. Modern silhouettes are paired with curved teal graphics that suggest motion and speed — fast, technical and purpose-built, like a runner’s lightweight race top engineered for peak output.

For engineers, the shift from white to black establishes a unified team identity. Logos and detailing illuminate against darker base tones, while advanced fabrics deliver a refined balance of elegance and comfort with precision design for precision thinkers.

Footwear that goes the distance

No performance system is complete without the right shoes. The collection is anchored by a reimagined Ultraboost 5, featuring a teal heel that fades into a black mid and forefoot, finished with glossy silver Three Stripes. Built with the cushioning and responsiveness runners trust, it’s equally at home logging steps in the paddock or navigating race-day intensity.

Caps and accessories in Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS colourways round out a range that looks as sharp trackside as it feels in motion.

Michael Batz, Motorsport Category GM at adidas, said:

“As we gear up for the second year of our partnership, we have continued to pour a lot of thought and craft into designing pieces that meet the demands of every single member of the team… We can’t wait to see it being worn by all during the upcoming season!”

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Chief Commercial Officer Richard Sanders added:

“Our second teamwear collection reflects those values perfectly yet again while delivering apparel that not only meets the technical demands of F1 but also embodies the identity of our team.”

Drivers feel the difference.

George Russell said: “For us, every detail matters… This kit allows me to stay sharp, focused, and perform at my peak.”

Kimi Antonelli added: “Their commitment to optimising fit and function means I can step out onto the track feeling confident and ready.”

Because whether you’re chasing lap times or kilometre splits, performance always starts with what you wear.

The adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team new collection is available to purchase from adidas.co.za/motorsport, and a worldwide selection of adidas wholesale accounts. 

Meet the adidas Dropset 4 – One Shoe. Every Move.

Adnaan MohamedAdvertorial, NewsLeave a Comment on Meet the adidas Dropset 4 – One Shoe. Every Move.
By Adnaan Mohamed

Training doesn’t move in straight lines and neither should your footwear.

The adidas Dropset 4 is built for athletes who shift gears without slowing down. From heavy lifts to explosive jumps and short sprints, it delivers the stability of a strength shoe with the energy return of a runner, carrying you through every phase of your workout like a perfectly paced final lap.

Born from a simple truth that 7 in 10 gym-goers train in the wrong shoes. The Dropset 4 cuts through the clutter with a single solution. No swapping. No compromise. Just one shoe designed to handle it all.

Stability When It Counts. Energy When You Need It.

Underfoot, full-length Repetitor foam keeps you grounded yet responsive, helping you stay strong deep into your sets. Energyrods channel force like a well-timed stride, stabilising heavy lifts while propelling take-offs on box jumps, skips and fast accelerations.

The Continental and Adiwear rubber outsole grips the floor when the weight stacks up — from sled pushes to loaded lunges, while the Footadapt sockliner sharpens balance and control, keeping every movement dialled in.

Up top, a haptic-printed upper adds durability without sacrificing breathability, built to survive the grind of high-intensity sessions and the sweat that comes with them.

Built for the Full Training Journey

Aimee Arana, adidas Global General Manager for Sportswear & Training, explains the vision behind the Dropset 4:

“We know our community has embraced functional training as an important part of their routine and needs a shoe that will support them with the demands of their entire workout, from warm-up to cool-down.
We are proud to offer them an improved solution that truly meets their different needs during training: the Dropset 4 is built to be sturdy and stable enough for those big compound strength moves, while still delivering the cushioning and energy return essential for explosive actions like box jumps or even a warm-up run.”

Tested by Those Who Train Without Compromise

From elite athletes to everyday gym-goers, the Dropset 4 has been pushed to the limit. Hungarian competitive training athlete Laura Horvath wore the shoe to victory on one of the world’s most demanding fitness stages in Aberdeen, proving it performs when it matters most.

Brazilian fitness star Caio Cabral sums it up:

“When I train, I’m always pushing my limits whether on big compound moves or intense sprints, so I need a shoe that can handle it all without slowing me down.
The Dropset 4 is made for intensity, which is exactly how I like to train, giving me the perfect mix of stability, grip and comfort, no matter what the workout looks like.”

Actor Emilio Sakraya adds:

“My training keeps me ready for any role, so I need footwear I can rely on.
The Dropset 4 doesn’t force me to compromise — it’s light enough to accelerate, solid enough when I land and versatile enough to keep up on explosive moves.”

All You Need. Anywhere You Train.

The adidas Dropset 4 is available from 8 January 2025 at selected retailers and online at adidas.co.za.

Train harder. Move faster. Change direction without hesitation.
Dropset 4 – All You Need.

ADIDAS TERREX NEW AGRAVIC TRAIL RUNNING REVAMP

Adnaan MohamedAdvertorial, NewsLeave a Comment on ADIDAS TERREX NEW AGRAVIC TRAIL RUNNING REVAMP
By Adnaan Mohamed

South Africa, November 19, 2025 – adidas TERREX has fine-tuned their Agravic line-up for every kind of trail runner, whether you float over ultras or dash through daily dirt like a sprinter on a gravel runway.

Sprinting out front is the Agravic Speed Ultra 2, the sequel to the record-snatching original and now reborn with more bounce, more grip, and more long-haul comfort. First previewed in Chamonix, the ASU2 has been shaped by some of the world’s fastest trail athletes.

Engineered for ultra-distance efficiency, the model arrives with:
• A softer Lightstrike Pro midsole, paired with an exaggerated rocker and energy rods—“a smoother ride with increased energy return” built to keep athletes clicking off kilometres like a metronome on a mountain ridge.
• A retooled Continental outsole, sporting deeper 3–4mm lugs for bite on mud, rock, and everything in-between.
• A redesigned upper, hugging the foot with more stability and heel comfort for steady footing when fatigue hits like a steep final climb.

Speaking on the updated line, Tom Louage, Global Sr. Product Director Footwear adidas TERREX, said:

“We know that trail running means different things to different people. For some, it may mean running fast across ultra-distances whilst for others, it could mean speed on those everyday trail runs.

“With our new-look Agravic range, we wanted to take our existing models – including the race-dominating Agravic Speed Ultra – and push the boundaries further to create products that match the needs of trail runners looking to go faster.”

Joining the headline act are three refreshed and reengineered teammates:

Agravic TT – built for technical trail warfare

SS26_AGRAVIC_AGRAVIC 4_PRODUCT BEAUTY 2

A new entrant in the range, designed for rocky scrambles, sharp descents, and unpredictable terrain.

A wider base brings stability, while the dual-layer Lightstrike Pro + Lightstrike+ midsole offers a blend of cushion, durability, and firmness for controlled speed on gnarlier routes.

A reinforced upper, rock plate, and multi-directional lugs ensure grip that behaves like crampons with finesse.

Agravic Speed 2 – the stripped-back sprinter

adidas’ lightest trail racer yet, sculpted for short-distance battles where “seconds and grams count.” With a trimmed-down upper for stability at minimal weight and a low-profile Lightstrike Pro midsole, the Speed 2 keeps runners close to the ground—quick, agile, and race-ready.

Agravic 4 – the everyday fast trainer for everyone

A workhorse built to bring the feeling of speed to any runner. Softer Lightstrike+ foam means more forgiveness on long sessions, while a protective mesh layer deflects debris like a shield. A smoother, softer upper delivers better fit and comfort without sacrificing durability.

Early Access for adiClub Members

adiClub runners get the first crack at the Agravic Speed Ultra 2 from December 2 via adidas.co.za/trail_running and the adidas app well ahead of the global drop in February 2026, which will unveil the full range worldwide.

By Adnaan Mohamed

As runners lace up for the 2025 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, adidas is urging them to do more than chase finish lines, it’s inviting them to run for change.

At this year’s Marathon Expo at DHL Stadium, adidas is unveiling its official Sanlam Cape Town Marathon collection.

It’s featherlight, fast, and fashioned for champions chasing the clock. The range including race tees, singlets, jackets, and the new Adizero Boston 13 shoes. is “built for athletes chasing limits and breaking records,” the brand says.

Beating the Odds, One Bead at a Time

But this year, adidas is adding something even more meaningful to the starting line: purpose, threaded bead by bead.

Handmade limited-edition beaded bracelets

Two limited-edition beaded bracelets, designed in the marathon’s official hues will be on sale, with 100% of proceeds going to the Kolisi Foundation to support gender equity and GBV survivor programmes.

Each bracelet is handmade by survivors of gender-based violence at the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women & Children in Manenberg, in collaboration with Cape Town jewellery brand Black Betty Design.

“Sport has the power to unite and inspire, but it also has the responsibility to drive change,” said Tom Brown, Senior Brand Director at adidas South Africa.

“By wearing this bracelet on race day, every runner and supporter becomes part of a movement to combat GBV in South Africa.”

Each bracelet carries a story as rich as the marathon itself. The limited-edition design weaves Red Turquoise, symbolising courage and empowerment, with Fossil Stone, a marker of endurance and transformation.

The race-colour version blends Yellow Agate, for positivity and clarity, with Blue Turquoise, the stone of balance and healing.

Like marathoners pounding the road with grit and grace, every bead is a testament to resilience. It’s a small, shining step in a greater race for dignity and equality.

So as the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon Expo opens from 16–18 October at DHL Stadium, adidas invites runners to gear up, not only in style, but in solidarity.

The official marathon range and bracelets will be available exclusively at the adidas stand, select stores, adidas.co.za, and the adidas app.

Adidas Z.N.E. keeps SA Sports Stars connected

Adnaan MohamedFeatures, NewsLeave a Comment on Adidas Z.N.E. keeps SA Sports Stars connected

By Adnaan Mohamed

When sporting icons Damian Willemse (rugby), Laura Wolvaardt (cricket), and Rele Mofokeng (football) step off the field, they don’t drop their sense of unity, they carry it like a favorite jersey stitched to the skin.

In adidas’ FW25 Z.N.E. campaign, A Team Way of Life, they step into off-duty fits that feel as natural as a teammate’s pat on the back.

This campaign is like a winning playbook. It’s about individual flair as well as celebrating the power of a team bond that stays intact even when the stadium empties.

Through these athletes, adidas shows how the Z.N.E. uniform keeps teammates connected in the locker room, on the sidelines, and everywhere in between.

The showpiece two-piece, bathed in plum and black, is as versatile as a utility athlete, morphing effortlessly between sport-culture hotspots.

South African Cricket star Laura Wolfaardt Photo: adidas

Crafted with a 3D material structure, Primeknit comfort, a soft cotton touch, matte-finish stripes, and a technical mesh lining, it moves with the wearer like a scrumhalf weaving through traffic.

Singer-choreographer Tate McRae likens the tracksuit to her ultimate off-stage playmaker:

“I spend so much time on the road with my team and being comfy is essential for us all. I am all about sporty style vibes.

“I need track-style pieces that I can wear from the tour bus to rehearsals and then to hang with my crew go-carting. That’s exactly what ADIDAS Z.N.E. offers.

“I love the blank canvas aesthetic. It lets me style it how I want and works for so many off-stage moments.”

Teen phenom Lamine Yamal echoes the same winning synergy as a captain leading his side:

“Being comfortable is important to me in general. Whether it is on the pitch with my teammates, off the pitch with my friends, or just about the clothes I wear, it matters.

“My ADIDAS Z.N.E. tracksuit is a look that makes me feel and move as I like to. In my own way.”

The FW25 ADIDAS Z.N.E. collection including hoodies, trackpants, tees, and shorts lands globally from late August 2025, ready to be scored via the adidas website, app, or stores everywhere.
