Copenhagen-based women's sneaker retailer NAKED works in collaboration with adidas Originals on a pair of the Response CL sneaker model in a Mercury colorway design. The duo adorn the silhouette with metallic accents through and honor its hybrid heritage.
The shoe takes on the upper of the Response Cushion from 2003 with a sole that draws inspiration from the 00s running models by the sportswear label. The upper itself is crafted from a white mesh material and accented with metallic silver overlay. Black details can be seen at the heel and the Three stripe branding. Brighter details are found at the tongue area, the heel and eyestays with bright contrasting hues of orange and blue.
