#4 Adidas Evo SL

The Evo SL is no longer the hype king, but that doesn’t mean it has fallen out of enthusiasts’ rotations. Delivering an iconic silhouette and excellent performance, the Evo SL remains a popular choice for uptempo daily mileage. It might have had a few more miles if we had included the additional miles in the upper revisions seen in the Evo SL Woven and Evo SL EXO.
