Ok, hear us out. Bright sneakers aren’t hard to style, you might just be overthinking it. And if you’re just like our content creator and social media executive Emily Purnell, you need to have your running gear game down before the hobby sticks. 

This exclusive to ASOS adidas Evo SL that we just picked up, might just be the shoe that will get Emily running. The adidas performance silhouette offers neutral support and is optimally designed for medium distances (6-12k). With a Lightstrike Pro foam midsole that provides ultra-light cushioning and optimises a smooth motion, and a rubber outsole for added grip, this shoe is a solid option for racing and training. 

But, all the strong technical features aside, it’s the bright orange and fuschia colourways that win the race. You may think they’re a bit too bold, but a dose of dopamine dressing might just be the thing that gets you going.

The typical styling rule of thumb is one loud piece at a time – but a little rule-breaking never hurt anybody and Emily’s opting for a neon-pink theme that can be seen from a mile away. Pairing your bright shoes with an equally bright sock (like these ones from 4505) is the way to go, and might as well throw in a matching pair of 4505 running shorts. Add some dimension by layering a black long-sleeve over this adidas running T-shirt with pink detailing, and finish off the fit with a complementary pink headband and a pair of speedy sunglasses. For colder days, ASOS has a range of windbreaker options: we like this brown one by ASOS Design as well as this cinched-waist weatherproof jacket.

A cute running outfit might just be the inspiration to reach your personal best.
