The Boston line was first introduced in 2009 as a dynamic, lightweight shoe built for speed and execution.
Yes, I know we’re now in 2025, and that running shoes have vastly evolved in the past few years, but the Boston 13 still delivers the goods. Plus, Adidas made thoughtful upgrades in this release, delivering a more comfortable ride while not compromising what has made this shoe so popular.

If you’re looking for a fast, snappy, and fun training shoe, the Boston 13 delivers on all counts.
