On September 4th, OAMC and adidas will release a series of fresh colorways of their collaboratively made 'Type-05' sneaker silhouette.
As Highsnobiety points out, the design takes inspiration from trail runners, as well as from adidas' 'EQT Tyranny,' which first made it debut back in 1998. Previously, the Type-05 was made available in neutral colorways of black, gray, and white. Now, the silhouette will also be offered in a light blue colorway, which is offset with complementary accents of black, gray, and white. The release also sees a refreshed all-black colorway, in addition to a white and gray variation that features accents of pastel yellow for contrast.
Come September 2020, the new Type-05 colorways can be found on OAMC and adidas' web stores.
