On the heels of the IRAK x adidas Torsion comes this adidas Safety Orange Torsion. A plastic heel counter and adidas’ Torsion technology are encompassed within a suede and synthetic safety orange upper. Torsion by adidas is a piece of technology located between the heel and forefoot which works to support the foot as well as allowing independent movement between the heel and the forefoot. The result is a protected and more naturally functioning foot. These Safety Orange joints are currently available at Atmos NYC.
