For those passionate about sneakers, a new release is always exciting. The anticipation is even more intense when manufacturers purposefully tease their new releases way ahead of time, making us count the days when we can cop the latest footwear. After teasing us with a new silhouette that looked rather familiar back in July, adidas is finally releasing their upcoming Tubular Shadow.
The familiar silhouette is akin to that of the absurdly popular Yeezy Boost 350, a smart move on adidas’ part given the incredible popularity of the Kanye West-designed sneakers. Thankfully, the Tubular Shadow doesn’t take on the pricing strategy or the exclusivity of its inspiration, with a more approachable price point and wider availability. Available in a variety of colorways and materials, we’ll see whether the close resemblance ends up being a formula for success in capturing the hearts of sneakerheads around the globe.
