Berlin sneaker retailer Solebox joined forces with adidas Consortium once again to create new iterations of the Quesence silhouette and the Pureboost DBR model. The two signature sneakers have been re-imagined in a muted colorway in order to draw more focus on the craftmanship of the shoes. The premium textiles, Italian leatherworks, and artisanal details are the main focus of the two new versions.
The Quesence sneakers maintain the retro inspiration that boasts through the paneling in order to highlight its premium leather and suede uppers. The overall colorway is a tonal gray, with subtle contrasts of suede and nubuck in a vegetable tan hue. The Pureboost DPR is constructed in a knit material on its uppers and has more of a performance focus than the Quesence; it has a two-toned colorway of gray, and is also contrasted by vegetable tan tones through its leather details.
