Chinese New Year has come and gone, but adidas still has a holiday-inspired pair worth considering even without the calendar tie-in. The highly popular adidas EVO SL trainer arrives here with a compelling iridescent multicolor finish, available now via the adidas website.

Channeling celebratory fireworks and the euphoric feeling they bring, the EVO SL features an iridescent woven upper with blues, purples, and differently sized dots layered over pink stripes. 2026 marks the Year of the Horse, subtly referenced by faux pony hair on the backtab. The EVO SL has quickly emerged as one of adidas’ most popular daily trainers, standing out as a more affordable takedown of the Adizero Adios super-shoe line.

The adidas EVO SL “Chinese New Year” is available now via the adidas website for $160. See our Where to Buy section below for purchase links.
