Hartcopy adidas Adizero Evo SL
The Hartcopy x adidas Adizero Evo SL proves the silhouette still has room to evolve beyond performance. Since its October 2024 debut, the Evo SL has balanced elite running credibility with growing lifestyle appeal. This latest collaboration pushes it firmly into visual statement territory.
Hartcopy, the Singapore-based creative collective, takes a very different approach from its understated BW Army project. At first glance, the shoe appears clean in white and black. Look closer, and oversized red polka dots take over the upper in an asymmetrical pattern that immediately separates this pair from standard Evo SL releases.
The graphic treatment has already sparked comparisons. Some see echoes of Yayoi Kusama’s dot-heavy artwork. Others point to the iconic red polka dot “King of the Mountains” jersey from the Tour de France. That layered interpretation feels intentional rather than accidental, which gives the design extra depth.
Branding choices reinforce Hartcopy’s influence. The lateral side drops traditional Three Stripes entirely, letting the dots run uninterrupted. On the medial side, adidas branding sits layered over the pattern instead. Subtle Hartcopy logos appear near the heel, while customized Adizero details show up on the tongue and outsole. Even the zigzag outsole graphics feel curated, not decorative.
Underneath the visuals, the Evo SL’s lightweight build and responsive ride remain untouched. That balance keeps the shoe wearable, not just collectible.
For now, release details remain unconfirmed. Distribution may stay limited or community-driven.
