The franchise expands the Freehiker system into a family of footwear offering multiple expressions of the same performance foundation. From the highly technical Freehiker 3 Ultra GTX to the all-new Freehiker SL (Super Light), each silhouette is designed to meet different needs while maintaining a consistent approach to comfort, protection, and durability.

Looking back, the hiking shoe started to lose its boot silhouette about a decade ago, when brands began applying trail-running technology to outdoor footwear and the category gradually stopped requiring a separate pair for the walk home. adidas accelerated that shift when it introduced the original TERREX Free Hiker in 2019 with a Boost midsole borrowed from its running line, a move that turned out to be an accurate read on where the market was going. The franchise has held that ground through two generations, and now returns with a third. adidas TERREX is a global leader in the outdoor sporting goods industry with a mission to enable all humans to live a more connected, conscious, and adventurous life. The Freehiker 3 is not a performance trailrunning shoe, but it is designed for the modern explorer and is encouraged to be worn as people move between trail, terrain, and city life however they choose to get there.

The Freehiker 3 expands the platform into a full family of four silhouettes sharing the same performance foundation: Mid GTX, Low GTX, and Ultra GTX, with the Ultra sitting at the top of the range as the franchise’s most technical offering, alongside an all-new Freehiker SL, which carries the same cushioning platform without the Gore-Tex liner. The system is designed to offer different expressions of the same core technology across varied exploration needs, whether that’s a multi-day route or a day that starts on trail and ends on pavement.

The foundation rests on two midsole technologies new to the TERREX hiking lineup. Hyperboost cushioning delivers responsive energy return across long days on the move, while Dreamstrike+ provides softer, adaptive cushioning across varied terrain.

Both draw from adidas’s running development work, as Tom Louage, Sr. Director of Product at adidas, explained: “Our ambition with the Freehiker 3 was to double down on what made this franchise iconic from the start, exceptional comfort for long days on rolling terrain. With this latest update, we have made the shoe significantly lighter while maintaining the stability hikers rely on. By integrating our new Hyperboost Pro midsole, inspired by our leading running innovations, we bring a new level of cushioning and energy return to the outdoors, all at a more accessible price point.”

GORE-TEX waterproof protection comes standard across the GTX models, and Continental rubber outsoles deliver reliable grip across technical and urban terrain throughout the lineup.

The Freehiker 3 family is available now at adidas.com/terrex and at select retail locations including REI and Backcountry.com, priced between $150 and $220.

The scale of the event continues to align with growth in the performance running footwear category. Carbon-plated racing shoes have expanded beyond elite-only use into broader retail distribution, including limited releases and collaborations tied to major race calendars, and brands including adidas, Nike, On, Tracksmith, and ASICS continue to position race-day product launches around major marathons.

The crossover between performance running and fashion was visible during London Fashion Week when Vanish was there in January, as technical running footwear appeared in runway presentations and showroom environments alongside seasonal apparel with performance models integrated into fashion contexts rather than separated from them.

Within this massive framework, Footpatrol and adidas have released a collaborative version of the Adizero Adios Pro 4 ahead of race weekend.

Footpatrol was founded in London in 2002, initially operating from a small courtyard space in Soho at a time when access to limited and international sneaker releases was more restricted. The store built its position by sourcing rare product, including Japanese exclusives and deadstock pairs, and became a distribution point for early consortium-level releases. It relocated to Berwick Street in 2010, where it remains, and expanded to a second location in Paris extending its footprint into another key European market.

The business operates as both a retailer and a collaborator. It has worked across brands including Nike, adidas, ASICS, Saucony, and Clarks, with a consistent focus on limited runs and launch-driven releases. Its positioning has remained tied to sneaker distribution and community engagement rather than scale retail, functioning as a release point for high-demand product and partnerships.

That history is directly relevant to this release. Performance running footwear—specifically carbon-plated race models—has historically been distributed through performance channels, with limited crossover into boutique retail. This collaboration places a race-day silhouette, the Adizero Adios Pro 4, into that distribution model, aligning a technical product with a retailer typically associated with limited sneaker releases.

The design references the built environments surrounding Footpatrol’s London and Paris locations. The upper uses a one-way stretch textile with metallic three-stripe branding incorporating 3M reflective elements, while the midsole retains LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam, paired with carbon-infused ENERGYRODS designed for propulsion and efficiency over distance.

The release is timed to coincide with marathon week and is available through Footpatrol’s retail and online channels. Creative Direction and Photography by Anthony Lee.

The Firebird anchors the collection, as it should. But it’s not the Firebird you’ve seen before. New prints — polka-dot, gingham, seasonal pastels and neutrals — move it out of the archive and into actual rotation. Subtle tailoring adds structure without disrupting the silhouette’s ease, and details like double waistbands, peplum shapes, and funnel-neck shirting show up across pieces that first-drop fans will recognize in evolved form. Heavyweight cotton blends and contrasting trims and fabrications give the whole edit a cross-seasonal quality — meaning you’re not boxing it into one moment on the calendar.

The standouts make the case. A polka-dot track jacket and pants set in beige takes the classic two-piece format and runs it through a retro print that lands playful without tipping into costume. The pinstripe track jacket threads a similar needle — sporty construction, tailored detail, the kind of layer that reads as intentional whether it’s going over a slip dress or sweats. And a nylon mix co-ord in soft pink delivers the tonal update the Firebird silhouette has been waiting for: same heritage bones, noticeably fresher energy.

Three pieces, three different registers. The collection doesn’t ask you to commit to one version of the aesthetic.
“This third collection moves the adidas Originals x ASOS collaboration into a more expressive space,” said Vanessa Spence, Executive Vice President, Brand and Creative at ASOS. “With the expansion into the U.S. market, we are able to invite even more people in to embrace the collection and make it their own.”

For U.S. shoppers, this is the first chance to access what European and UK markets have had two rounds to work through. By the third drop, the collaboration has visibly sharpened. What’s available now feels less like licensed product and more like something both brands actually had a stake in getting right. The full collection is available now, exclusively on ASOS — on-site and in the app.
