Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11

A stripped-down, low-slung 5K/10K racer with Lightstrike Pro and Energy Rods that rewards fast, efficient midfoot and forefoot strikers. It keeps the Takumi line's speed-first character while adding a touch more stack than the Sen 10. Marathoners and runners who want protective high-stack cushioning should look to the Adios Pro line instead.
