A Closer Look at adidas Basketball's New Performance Sneaker Styles

adidas Basketball has introduced its latest Spring/Summer 2019 footwear and apparel collection. In collaboration with adidas Brooklyn Farm, the collection features the N3XT L3V3L, Marquee Boost, and Pro Vision silhouettes designed in four unique colorways. Each style was available exclusively on adidas.com for 24-hours at a time before the official launch later next year.

“With this collection, we looked at the basketball consumer themselves to create something that’s never been done before, but is still undeniably adidas,” says Brookyln Farm creative director Denis Dekovic. The N3XT L3V3L is the first-ever laceless basketball shoe from adidas, shaped by a full Primeknit upper for comfort. The sneaker is also made with a lateral banking barrier for mid foot stability and features ‘Lightstrike’, for lightweight cushioning ability to meet the demands of a high-stakes game. The Marquee Boost silhouette is built with a padded ankle collar for support and herringbone outsole for durable traction. Each piece is embroidered with the zip code “11222”, paying homage to the city of Brooklyn.

“We aimed to shake up the way we create our products so players from high school to the NBA could look good, feel good and take their game to the next level. We collaborated with some of the best design minds in our company,” states Senior Director of Footwear for adidas Basketball, Rashad Williams.
