adidas drops chunky new sneaker

Although adidas is known for providing us with some of the most iconic sneakers in the last couple of years, their latest release looks nothing like their classic designs. Taking a cue from early 2000s running shoes, the famed brand adds volume to an already chunky silhouette. Even though designs like the Samba and Gazelles served as a counter product to the ‘dad shoe’ trend, this new drop is all about impact and statement. With four colorways that range from minimalist to bold, this sneaker has a hue for everyone. However, the unique shape and one-of-a-kind sole might be best for those looking to experiment with their style.

Using a curved rocker shape as their inspiration, the new Adizeo Aruku shoes are anything but subtle or understated. Using a textile and synthetic upper for a retro touch, this sneaker utilizes nostalgic details for the ultimate retro-futuristic look. With the brand’s Swirlfoam cushioning and rubber outsoles, users will be equipped with the maximum amount of support and comfort. While the curved rocker shape is more than enough to draw attention, it’s not the only aspect of the shoe that catches your eye. With the extra large cushion and use of materials, this sneaker also reflects light, making it even more unique. Besides the all-white and all-black colors, this sneaker is available in red/white and yellow/orange/ blue combinations. Those looking to add serious bounce to their step can pick up a pair via adidas’ web store for $140. Although it’s far from the sleek and narrow sneakers we’ve come to expect from adidas as of late, this design is more than enough to attract the modern trendsetter.

The Western trend is alive and well, especially with brands releasing new aptly themed designs. Along with streetwear brand Packer, Timberland is taking on the Western trend with a remake of one of their silhouettes that turns a classic model into a Southwest-American piece. With plenty of themed accents and details incorporated into the design, this new release pays homage to an essential part of the adventurous culture. Although the Western trend is mostly incorporated via boots and rugged footwear, this collaborative shoe turns a classic shoe into a Western option. An ode to creativity and craftsmanship, this release isn’t just about its aesthetic. Including Indigenous culture into the design, this shoe has been carefully curated to reflect the heritage of the Southwest.

Adidas has no shortage of archival silhouettes that have transcended into icon status. From the Superstar to the Sambas, the athletic brand is home to many of the sneakers we know and love today. While the brand has recently focused on reviving older models for a new generation, it hasn’t lost sight of creating new and exciting silhouettes. As part of its long-term partnership with singer Bad Bunny, the Three Stripes company has released its newest shoe, which infuses style and modern details. While adidas’ newest shoe takes inspiration from an older archival model, this design infuses movement, style, and spunk, all of which we expect from Bad Bunny himself. After a big year for the singer, this new silhouette between Bad Bunny and adidas has all the makings of a new iconic sneaker.
