adidas' Mocaturf Blends a Sneaker with a Moccasin Together

adidas Originals continues to grow its partnership with END. as the duo presents a pair of the Mocaturf shoes for the season. It is inspired by fishing culture -- the capsule takes a hairy suede material to construct the shoe to give it a textural look and finish.
The silhouette can be described as something that lies between a formal moccasin and a casual sneaker as it is detailed with the aforementioned material along with the reimagined Three Stripes motif to replicate fishing lures. The design highlights fly fishing and there is also the Tobacco sneaker model which is derived from the brand's archive. Specifically from the 70s, the shoe is revived in two colorways which are inspired by the UK's native trout.
