Calling Cincinnati outfielder Billy Hamilton fast is a massive understatement. With four straight seasons of 50+ steals, his speed is the type that alters any game he plays in. And when it comes to his cleats, the fastest player on the diamond deserves the lightest, most explosive option available. That’s why he rocks the adidas adiZero Afterburner 4.0.
Clocking in at only 9.4 oz, these cleats weigh less than any other in the game — and their SprintSkin upper provides total support and stability during every lightning-quick cut. And since Billy’s speed shines bright during every inning, adidas has dropped the ‘Dipped Collection’ — a pack of flashy colorways for the Afterburner that ensure that he’s as impossible to miss as he is to stop.
Inspired by past classics, crafted for modern comfort, designed with the future in mind — the adidas Originals Tubular Doom Primeknit is a shoe unlike any other. Its Primeknit upper takes your breathability to the next level, while its sock-like construction hugs your foot for a comfortable fit. The forward-thinking, tubular-shaped rubber outsole is durable and upgrades your traction. Looking for that perfect gift for you or your friend this holiday season? You’ve got it.
If you want to dominate on the court, you’ve got to have on the right kicks. Lucky for you, adidas has your back (or should we say feet) with two great options: the all-new Dame 4s and the Crazy Explosive 2017s. From BOUNCE in the Dame 4s to the boost in the Crazy Explosives, these shoes are designed to convert every step you take into next-level explosiveness. But they are built for more than just speed — they’ll keep you comfortable, give you total support, and keep you looking fresh. Your opponents won’t stand a chance this season.
Few people stand out on the football field more than receiver DeAndre Hopkins. His imposing size, deadly speed, and knack for the big play make him a nightmare to opposing defenses. Watching him break tackles and tilt the field in his team’s favor is like watching an artist paint his or her masterpiece. Pretty much the only thing that matches his jaw-dropping talent is his head-turning style. His unique fashion sense is all about letting his creativity shine and that’s why he rocks the adidas Originals EQT collection. It’s fresh, it’s comfortable, and it lets the superstar be himself no matter where he goes.

This apparel line gives elite athletes the look and comfort they need to get into game mode or shine during the postgame press conference. The innovation in the clothing is designed specifically for athletes — keeping them in the zone and providing continuous comfort so that they have zero distractions. Game is the focus, so be the inspiration in the latest styles from adidas Athletics.
Meet your new everyday go-to shoe — the adidas Originals Swift Run. This sleek silhouette draws from adidas running heritage for a fresh spin on a sporty look. Comfortable? You bet! The knit upper offers the breathability you need to keep your feet feeling cool, while the sock construction offers the perfect fit for all-day comfort. And you can’t forget about the iconic Three Stripes! The Swift Run has everything you need to make a style statement
Speed. Agility. Swagger. Buffalo rookies Zay Jones and Tre’Davious White need all three if they want to shine as pros. That’s why they choose the adidas Alphabounce for running and training. The shoe’s breathable fit and responsive cushioning make it the best choice for dynamic workouts and pushing the pace, while its streamlined look and feel make it a bold statement piece. To be truly great, you need to be a creator. You need Three Stripes.
Imagine that you’re just days away from fulfilling a lifelong dream — playing pro football. You’d do everything within your power, from your workouts to your film study, to ensure that you hit the ground running. That’s exactly where Buffalo rookies Zay Jones and Tre’Davious White find themselves at this very second. But they aren’t worried — they’re itching to get out there and prove themselves. They’ve got the skills, the smarts, and the lightest cleat in football, the adiZero 5-Star 6.0, on their side.
