Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11

Beginner

Not recommended for beginners. The Takumi Sen 11 is Adidas' lightweight racing shoe for 5K to half-marathon distances, featuring Lightstrike Pro foam with EnergyRods 2.0 glass fiber rods (no carbon plate). The 27mm/33mm (6mm drop) moderate stack offers more ground feel and control than higher-stack racers. More approachable than elite racers, but still requires 6+ months of running experience.
