Adidas Outdoor and Nina Williams Will Help You Climb to New Heights

"My Adidas walk through concert doors, and roam all over coliseum floors." My adidas Outdoor sneakers*, on the other foot, have helped me traverse through the flora and fauna in El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico; hike to the steep (almost) summit of Mount Beacon in Beacon, New York; and most recently gave me the stamina to complete a two-hour climb up and down Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona. Whew, that was a doozy!

Believe me, I couldn't have done any of these hikes without my trusty adidas Terrex Tracerocker W, trail shoes for fast and light hiking.  The sneaker features include:

  • Mesh and synthetic materials in upper for light weight and outdoor durability
  • Comfortable textile lining
  • Lightweight EVA midsole for long-term cushioning
  • TRAXION™ outsole for optimal grip in all directions
  • Superhigh-traction rubber outsole for optimal grip

When I grow up, I wanna be like professional rock climber Nina WilliamsShe began climbing in New Hampshire in 2002 and later joined a team in Rhode Island. She balanced school, training, and competing with outdoor climbing all around New England before moving to Colorado in 2010. 

Nina has spent the past four years competing and getting outdoors as much as possible, spending extended amounts of time in areas such as Hueco Tanks, Joe’s Valley, South Africa, Australia, and Switzerland. She has climbed 5.13 and multiple V12's, 11's, and 10's. When she’s not climbing, and coaches Team ABC in the athletically driven town of Boulder, CO.

Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands.
