In World Athletics' updated list of approved shoes, those mysterious models from several brands have finally been unveiled. That includes the ADIZERO ADIOS PRO EVO 3, which was previously shown at the Tokyo Marathon Expo. ASICS had multiple models approved this time — prototypes of new Metaspeed SKY, EDGE and RAY variants have appeared across the board. How much of an improvement in energy return can the FF Leap technology actually deliver? On and Brooks have also updated their lineups: the new Cloudboom and the sixth-generation Tornado — the two brands' flagship racing shoes both appear to differ from their predecessors. Xtep's 160X 8.0 and 160X 8.0 PRO have undergone significant changes as well. Based on styling alone, the new 160X 8.0 series looks more aggressive, with a noticeably more exaggerated forefoot midsole stack. Which races will they debut in? It looks like the 2026 marathon season will be sparking with competition.
