adidas ClimaCool Seduction hits market...

Our friends at adidas were kind enough to pass along some news about their new ClimaCool Seduction running shoe (left/photo courtesy adidas Media Relations), which hits the market early next month.

“This next generation of ClimaCool blends a dramatic new design with tons of breathability to give you a carefree ride for every run this summer,” said Mikal Peveto, director of running for adidas America.  “Seventy-five percent of the body’s energy is used to keep from overheating, so the ClimaCool Seduction is designed to keep your feet cool by providing as much ventilation as possible.”

The ClimaCool design helps reduce foot temperature and in-shoe moisture for maximum comfort during warm workouts.

Soccer stars Lionel Messi and David Beckham, and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, are featured with singer Katy Perry in the latest adidas brand campaign featuring the shoe, which will retail for $100.
