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.

Arm sleeves are removable knit tubes from bicep to wrist that give runners adjustable warmth at cool starts, UPF sun protection, light compression and — worn singly — a sprint signature. They are the most modular piece in the race kit.
Their origin is basketball: Allen Iverson's trainer cut a compression stockinette for his elbow in January 2001, Iverson scored 51 that night, and the sleeve became a league staple before crossing to marathon start lines and single-armed sprinters.
