According to reviewers, the Lite Racer BYD 2.0 from Adidas is "one of the lightest" running shoes they ever had. It barely has any weight on they can "wear it all day long." Some even forgot about wearing the shoe during the run. 

Extremely comfortable

With the extra padding on the heel and sponge-like cushion, the shoe feels like pillows to the feet. Even better, the Cloudfoam midsole is an effective impact dampener, keeping the feet free from strain.
