In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, adidas is re-releasing the iconic Orion shoe that he wore during his unforgettable Marathon of Hope in 1980. On Thursday, July 3, 2025, at 10 am ET, Canadians will be able to shop the limited-edition shoes while supplies last.
“It’s heart-warming to see Canadians across the country continue to resonate with Terry’s legacy more than 45 years later,” says Fred Fox, Terry’s older brother. “We hope that these shoes will serve as an inspirational reminder that it’s up to all of us to finish the marathon against cancer that Terry started.”
Terry’s classic Orion shoe was last released in 2020 to honour the 40th anniversary of his Marathon of Hope. It was one of the most beloved drops in adidas Canada’s history—a true demonstration of the enduring power and impact of Terry’s story.
Starting Thursday, July 3, 2025, at 10:00 am ET Canadians can purchase the Orion shoes on the adidas Canada website for $145 while supplies last. The limited-edition navy blue and white shoes feature the words “Terry Fox” in gold and come with commemorative shoelaces. All proceeds will directly support life-changing cancer research in Canada.

Registered participants who secure 45 sponsors by September 15, 2025, will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a pair of the limited-edition adidas Orion shoes.
