Budapest 2023 belonged to adidas athletes. Noah Lyles swept the 100m, 200m and relay; Marileidy Paulino won her first global title over 400m in a 48.76 national record; and Ethiopia, dressed by adidas, went one-two in the women's marathon through Amane Beriso and Gotytom Gebreslase. That September adidas released the 138-gram Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 — ten days later Tigst Assefa broke the marathon world record in Berlin wearing it.

Half tights are fitted compression shorts ending at mid-thigh, worn as the outer racing garment by sprinters and, increasingly, elite marathoners. They exist for fit — zero loose fabric, zero chafe, a locked-in feel from the blocks — not for proven speed.
That last part matters: across 51 randomized studies, compression garments show no significant effect on race times. What they measurably do is damp muscle vibration while you run and nudge recovery afterwards. The rest of their argument is made of fit, and it is a good argument.
