Built for boxers who win on movement. The adidas Speedex 23 is a competition-grade boxing shoe for fighters who control the ring with footwork: in-and-out angles, quick pivots, and constant lateral movement. It is a premium boxing shoe for boxers who want a locked-in, supportive ride for sparring and competition.
What sets it apart is heel and midfoot security. An integrated 3D heel cage and the adidas Torsion System work together so the rear and forefoot can move independently, giving you fast, precise footwork without the heel sliding. Independent reviewers highlight the locked-in heel as the shoe's standout feature.
The upper is a breathable textile made with at least 50 percent recycled content, so it stays light and ventilated through long rounds. A low-profile outsole keeps you close to the canvas for grip on pivots, and the full lace-up closure cinches down for a snug, competition-ready fit.
Fit note: the Speedex 23 runs snug with a narrow toe box. adidas lists it as true to size, so order your usual size, but if you have wider feet or wear thicker socks, go up a half size. Sizes are unisex and shown as men's and women's pairs (for example M07/W08). See the size guide on this page before you order.
Best for: amateur and competitive boxers, kickboxers, and footwork-focused training. To see the full range, browse our boxing shoes.
