London-Ready Minimalistic Footwear

adidas Introduces New Iterations of the Orketro Sneaker

— July 13, 2022 — Lifestyle
adidas Originals introduces new iterations of the Orketro sneaker model for the season in a Pyrite and Mesa colorway and the Bliss, Cloud White, and Bright Blue. SImilar to the previous model, these two are designed with inspiration from brutalist architecture that can be seen throughout the intricate hues chosen.

The first version has washed-out yellow colors that are detailed with metallic gold details around the toe box, which is a feature that gives it a 90s aesthetic. The Bliss colorway is built with inspiration from bustling cities such as London for example. Both shoes are made with mesh materials throughout the upper and marked with an asymmetrical suede branding in the form of the Three Stripes.
