The Adidas Adizero Distancestar (IG9906) is a lightweight unisex track shoe built for speed, precision and confidence. Suitable for short sprints and multi-lap races, it pairs a spike plate outsole for aggressive traction with a breathable synthetic upper, at around 177 g per shoe.
Key Features
- Lightweight construction – a streamlined build (~177 g per shoe) reduces fatigue and helps turnover without losing stability.
- Spike plate outsole – aggressive traction for fast starts, secure cornering and confident acceleration on the track.
- Breathable synthetic upper and lining – keeps feet cool and supported in high-intensity sessions and races.
- Track-focused geometry – designed for forward propulsion and race-day efficiency, helping you hold speed across laps.
- Low midsole drop – 1 mm drop (heel 19 mm / forefoot 18 mm) for a responsive, close-to-the-ground feel.
- Recycled content – contains at least 20% recycled content.
- Secure fit – lace closure with lightweight panels for a precise, locked-down feel and long-lasting grip.
Performance Overview
The Distancestar combines a race-oriented shape with a spike plate outsole for instant propulsion and traction in sprint and mid-distance events. Its track-specific geometry channels power forward, while the breathable upper stays comfortable through repeated laps. Expect quicker turnover, better acceleration and steadier pacing, with less energy lost on push-offs and through the bends.
Who Is It For?
Track athletes doing sprint work and multi-lap races, in competition and training, who want a light spike with secure traction.
