Increasingly, sneakers cross the lines between high fashion and streetwear. Luxury labels produce products mirroring skate shoes, while athletic brands have stepped their design game way up, creating silhouettes that both sneakerheads and connoisseurs of traditional high-end brands are willing to pay top dollar for. The adidas Tubular line seeks to continuously challenge the notion of runway versus street with a range of styles that are ahead of their time — both in their aesthetic, and from a technological perspective.
The Tubular Primeknit Instinct is the latest futuristic release from adidas using its signature knit material. The high-top sneaker brings together a basketball style upper, a tan suede heel and a translucent rubber outsole to create a model that can be styled equally well with athletic wear, or technical, contemporary design. Browse the lookbook above and hit up adidas.com to purchase the shoe for $140 USD.
