Pharrell’s collaborative design philosophy has always leaned toward clean lines and deep meaning, and his take on the adidas Adizero EVO SL in “Core Black” brings that clarity to one of adidas’ fastest performance silhouettes.
A shoe that doesn’t shout but still turns heads, this version of the EVO SL champions subtle detailing, technical refinement, and human-focused storytelling.
The upper is made from ultra-lightweight engineered mesh in an all-black finish, allowing the shape and contours of the shoe to speak for themselves.
Support zones and structure are built into the design through layered stitching and fused overlays, maintaining integrity without adding excess weight.
While the colourway keeps things dialled back, the tri-colour 3-Stripes, featuring Semi Lucid Blue, Semi Court Green, and bronze, inject visual identity into the design.
This colour-blocking approach is distinct to the Humanrace project, giving an otherwise monochrome shoe just enough vibrancy.
Discreet Humanrace branding appears at the heel and sockliner, remaining tastefully integrated into the shoe rather than overpowering it.
The midsole is packed with LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam, adidas’ premier race-day compound, offering bounce and responsiveness without compromising weight. The rockered outsole gives it a forward-driving feel with every step.
