The adidas Tubular Invader Gets Strapped Up

With the futility of trying to cop a pair of Yeezy Boosts now firmly established as a time-honored tradition over the past few releases, adidas is rolling out a consolation prize in the form of its little-known Tubular Invader. Reinvented in this Strap variation, the sneaker boasts a familiar hairy suede high-top upper in suede as well as a prominent forefoot strap belted over the tonal laces and subtly perforated toe box. Additional noteworthy details include the red heel portion of the sole and subtle branding at the heel. Providing Yeezy fans with another similar alternative as well as elevating the profile of the Tubular Invader, it’s a win-win situation for the Three Stripes.

Buy a pair online at 43einhalb for 130 EUR (approximately $147 USD) from July 15, and in the meantime, debate how closely this pair of ZX Flux sneakers resembles the Yeezy Boost 350.
