Adidas Pro Elite
2023
10 athlete-issue pieces from the 2023 cycle live in our archive — the season this page reads, result by result, before it reads the cloth.
Adidas Pro Elite 2023 is the 2023-season generation of adidas athlete-issue kit — issued to contracted athletes and federation squads, never sold at retail, and dated by cycle like everything in the athlete channel.
This page reads the season first — what adidas and the athletes in its kit actually did that year, verified result by result — then the cycle's design, and every piece of it in our archive.

The Chain Year
2023 gave adidas a chain of its own: a shoe launched in 521 pairs, a world record in Berlin ten days later, and the cause the year's most meaningful garment carries. The championships of August were raced in federation kit and belong to other pages. Three links, one season.
The chain (table)
| Event | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| 14 Sep | Evo 1 launched | 138 grams, 521 pairs worldwide |

| The cause | Tirop s Angels | adidas backs the foundation; the 2023 long sleeve carries the name |
From the Launch to Berlin
The championships of August were the federations' month: what Noah Lyles did in Budapest was done in the Nike kit of USATF, and the Ethiopia squad adidas dresses raced in its federation issue — results that live in our country pages, not in this kit's story.
Then September: adidas launched the 138-gram Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 on the 14th — 521 pairs worldwide — and ten days later Tigst Assefa wore it to 2:11:53 in Berlin, taking more than two minutes off the marathon world record. The mark has since been passed as the absolute record, but as a season-closing statement it has no equal in the brand's modern history. The same year, adidas put its weight publicly behind Tirop's Angels — which is where the most meaningful garment of this cycle comes from.

The 2023 cycle pairs mint and petrol green with navy, pops of magenta and cyan on logos and side stripes, and tonal wave prints on the half tights. Its most important piece is the mint Tirop's Angels long sleeve — the garment that carries the foundation's name.
Construction follows the athlete-issue rules our authentication guide covers: competition-weight cloth, race cuts, no retail run. “Pro Elite” is the collector market's label — adidas itself doesn't use it.

Athlete-issue adidas kit from the 2023 season: mint and petrol greens against navy with magenta and cyan accents. Ten pieces live in our archive, including the Tirop's Angels long sleeve.
What did adidas athletes win in 2023?
In adidas: Tigst Assefa's 2:11:53 marathon world record in Berlin, in the just-launched Evo 1.
What is the Tirop's Angels long sleeve?
A 2023 athlete-issue long sleeve carrying the name of the foundation Kenyan runners built after Agnes Tirop's killing in 2021. adidas backed the foundation publicly in 2023; the garment connects this cycle to that cause, and one lives in our archive.
How do I recognise a 2023 adidas athlete-issue piece?
Mint or petrol green against navy, magenta or cyan on the logos and side stripes, tonal wave prints on the half tights — and on the season's most meaningful piece, the Tirop's Angels name in magenta on mint.
