adidas Originals Iniki Runner

After digging deep in its archives, adidas adopted elements from its most popular vintage runner designs, blending them with new technology and a modern sensibility. The result is a technologically advanced silhouette that maintains a classic and nostalgic appeal. This old school look is achieved through the construction of the shoe’s upper, which is fashioned from a two-way stretch mesh with vintage suede overlays, a shiny-mesh tongue and printed 3-stripes branding with a serrated effect. Despite the trainer connoisseur’s appreciation for history and heritage, we all expect the benefits of modernity, namely comfort, fit and durability. Accordingly, adidas has included a concealed sock-fit design, OrthoLite sockliner and BOOST midsole unit. There are additional subtle details, such as copper-tipped laces and a gum rubber tooling. There will be two colourways at launch: classic navy and red versions that have contrasting white Boost outsoles, heel tabs and Three Stripes branding.
