The Adizero Goukana ushers in a bold new runner silhouette that blends adidas’ heritage with a design-forward edge. The Goukana name—meaning “luxurious and plush” in Japanese—pays tribute to Toshiaki Omori, the original architect behind the adiZero line.
In this Collegiate Navy colorway, the upper is built from breathable mesh layered with premium suede overlays that reinforce structure while keeping it lightweight. Reflective Three Stripes sit on the lateral side, catching light for visibility and style. A notable silhouette element: the heel and midsole are exaggerated, pushing a chunky runner aesthetic that fuses archive form with modern volume.
Underfoot, the Goukana rides on adidas cushioning tech—Lightstrike foam complemented by a “heel foam pod” and Adizero’s “hero sling” structure to stabilize stride and boost responsiveness. Color accents in Preloved Ink and Preloved Red subtly energize the navy base, giving depth and pop without overpowering the overall tone.
With its hybrid of performance engineering, bold form language, and refined color blocking, the Adizero Goukana “Collegiate Navy” is a standout piece that bridges running utility and streetwear attitude.
