The adidas Adizero Control Running Short Leggings are men's close-fitting running tights for faster sessions, long runs and race-day use. The IX8976 model combines a lightweight, quick-drying stretch fabric with targeted low-to-medium compression. RHEON reactive TPE strands are positioned over major muscle groups and respond as the runner moves, providing support without turning the garment into a rigid compression piece.
An elastic waistband and adjustable drawcord help secure the fit. Three-compartment stash storage keeps gels and small essentials within reach, while the centre-front pouch has an antimicrobial finish. Reflective details add visibility accents for early starts and evening kilometres. The fabric contains recycled polyester, and adidas lists the tights as true to size, although compression preference and body shape still make the size chart worth checking.
These are best suited to runners who want a supportive half-tight with integrated race storage. They are less appealing if you prefer loose shorts or minimal compression. The recorded US$100 is adidas's official US list price for model IX8976, checked on 23 October 2026; regional promotions and availability can change.
