adidas recently debuted the Fortitude Mid sneaker, and it looks like the three stripe brand has plans to continue to with the boot-inspired sneaker. We saw a dark blue and burgundy pair early this year, but the next run uses far brighter colors. These three colorways surfaced recently at a Las Vegas trade show. Nubuck is used for the toe and panel along the base of the upper, while leather helps around the ankle. Finally, mesh comes in on the toe box and tongue. Cord laces and metal lace loops appear on the lower area of the midfoot. All three shoes utilize a monochromatic upper with neon accents. Navy blue is accented with bright orange laces and a matching midsole, while grey gets help from bright red. The third pair, which comes in black and neon green, offers an aesthetic very similar to the KAWS-designed Nikes, a case which is also helped by the sewn X’s on the forefoot. Look for these in the near future. |
