Juxtaposing Dynamic Running Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The adiSTAR Cushion Sneakers have a Retro Design

— May 23, 2024 — Fashion
The adidas adiSTAR Cushion sneaker model makes a return that is comfortable and dynamic. The cushioned sneakers are revived by the Japanese retailer as the brands take a vintage shoe to give it a futuristic update. Currently, the shoes are available to shop online at adidas.

The previous white and grey colorway palette is joined by another bolder option made up of a dark blue gradient print throughout the upper. It boasts a mesh base foundation for a breathable base and is then detailed with wavy overlays that go throughout the length of the sneaker with the same gradient hue. It is detailed with reflective and metallic details and it is all inspired by the dawn Harajuku sky.
