adidas Originals introduces a new iteration of the Triple Platform Low sneaker model in a dark tonal palette. The most notable element of the latest update is the additional buckle and platform silhouette. The color palette is rooted in hues of core black and solar red for a touch of contrast.
In terms of construction, the toe box area is made from heavy canvas materials with leather intersecting and continuing at the eyestay placket and mid-panel support sections. Branding details are seen in the form of the Three Stripes at the nylon mesh back area and synthetic overlays by the heel. The mesh tongue is entirely covered in a web netting and finished with metal and a webbed tongue clip.
