Adidas Dropset 4: Built to Win

Last week, James Sprague and Laura Horvath were crowned champions of the World Fitness Project. Both doing it in an unreleased pair of Adidas Dropset 4s.

The World Fitness Project has quickly become one of the sport’s sharpest proving grounds, now regularly mentioned in the same breath as the CrossFit Games for the calibre of athlete it attracts and the way it rewards consistency. Nine workouts decided it. Heavy lifts. High skill. Multi-stage conditioning. Everything was tested. Sprague stayed composed throughout, executing with intent and finishing with a clear margin at the top of a deep field of elite pros. Horvath was relentless. Measured, efficient, and unshakeable as the field closed in.

For Horvath, this wasn’t unfamiliar territory. The World Fitness Project marked her second major win in the unreleased Dropset 4, after securing the title earlier this season at the Rogue Invitational.

The Adidas Dropset 4 is built for training that demands range. Increased heel stability for heavy lifts. A refined midsole that stays firm under load but responsive as intensity ramps up. A wider platform for balance, improved lockdown through the upper, and just a more dialled-in feel than previous iterations. It’s designed for sessions that move between strength, speed, and conditioning without compromise.

At the top of the game, performance isn’t theoretical. It’s earned under fatigue and pressure. The Adidas Dropset 4 has already shown it can, not just hold its own, but dominate over long competition days. Two champions. Two major wins. Proven where it counts.

The Adidas Dropset 4 launches January 8.
