The Adizero Varner is Adidas's signature competition wrestling shoe for Jake Varner, the two-time NCAA champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist. Retailers describe a breathable mesh upper and an outsole with drive zones at the forefoot and heel for mat grip, and list the Varner 2 as a lace-up high-top. Adidas positions it as a lightweight shoe, but Pickly could not find a maker-published weight, so earlier claims of a sub-4-ounce weight could not be verified. With less padding than heavier practice shoes, it suits experienced wrestlers who prioritize freedom of movement over maximum ankle support; beginners and wrestlers with a history of ankle problems may prefer a more supportive shoe.
