References: launches.endclothing & hypebeast
UK-based retailer END. works in collaboration with adidas on a new two-part iteration of the Torsion Super sneaker model. The pack is dubbed 'Equals' and retains its sporty design language. It is inspired by elements of the Torsion and the ZX series. Overall, it also fuses some retro details as well, nodding to the 80s with the lateral waved accent. The shoe rests on top of the Torsion system sole unit.
The retro design continues with mixed features throughout the upper in terms of the materials and colorways. The first version has a running theme with Navy Blue spacer mesh as the base and then contrasted by Dusty Pink nubuck on top. The second iteration is detailed with smooth off-white leather with nubuck paneling in Rust Red.
