Adidas unveils Adizero Gearshift with on-the-fly adjustable carbon plate

Adidas showed the Adizero Gearshift concept running shoe, whose carbon plate stiffness can be adjusted on the move — via a manual slider or a smartphone app. It uses the Lightlock upper and Lightstrike Pro foam of the Adizero Adios Pro 5. No release date or price was announced.

• Plate adjusts on a gradient from flexible to rigid
• Manual version uses a midsole slider, digital one an app
• Digital version is heavier due to electronics and battery
• Lightlock upper and Lightstrike Pro foam as on Adizero Adios Pro 5
