NAKED x adidas Adizero EVO SL Zip Releases July 15
NAKED Copenhagen has reimagined the adidas Adizero EVO SL with a functional zippered upper that merges utilitarian design with streamlined running geometry. The collaboration arrives July 15 in a restrained palette of blush pink, silver, and cream, elevating the lightweight silhouette's appeal beyond the court.

Design Details
The NAKED x adidas Adizero EVO SL Zip centers on a bold structural intervention: a center-zip system that covers the standard lacing mechanism without replacing it entirely. This allows the wearer to adjust fit beneath the cover while presenting a cleaner, more finished aesthetic—a design choice that prioritizes both function and form.
The upper utilizes a pale pink ripstop-style material as its foundation, contrasted by generous silver panels that traverse the forefoot and wrap along the lateral sides. Perforated detailing throughout the upper maintains breathability, while a reflective metallic finish on the silver sections adds visual depth and functional visibility. NAKED Copenhagen's branding appears at the collar and insole, complemented by adidas logos on the tongue and heel.
Beneath the upper, the EVO SL remains largely faithful to its proven formula. A bulky cream Lightstrike Pro midsole preserves the shoe's molded geometry and lightweight character, trimmed in silver along the sidewalls. Continental rubber compounds the forefoot, while translucent accents finish the heel. The design philosophy here is restrained: the visual transformation happens almost entirely at the collar, allowing the silhouette's essential running DNA to remain intact.
The Adizero EVO SL in Context
The adidas Adizero EVO SL has established itself as a versatile lightweight runner—agile enough for competitive use but refined enough for lifestyle wear. NAKED Copenhagen's intervention doesn't attempt to deconstruct or radically reimagine that mission; instead, it layers contemporary streetwear sensibilities onto an already-proven template. The zip cover and reflective detailing push the shoe toward a more fashion-forward territory, though the silhouette's lean profile and performance heritage remain unmistakable.
This collaboration reflects a broader trend in contemporary sneaker design: the blending of utilitarian details—functional zips, reflective elements, ripstop fabrics—with color palettes and construction methods drawn from high-fashion streetwear. The result is a shoe that feels equally at home in technical conversations and style-focused contexts.
