Kasina and adidas Terrex Debut Airy Free Hiker
In a crisp “White/Light Blue” colorway.
An outdoor-geared adidas sub-brand, adidas Terrex has brought several compelling hybrid hiking silhouettes to market this winter, the latest of which is a Kasina-crafted Free Hiker. Appearing in a crisp “White/Light Blue” colorway, the Korean shop’s take on the Free Hiker combines mountain-ready technology and construction with street-geared palettes.
Cut high and dressed in a stark white Primeknit material, the uppers are flexible and breathable — but still sturdy thanks to fused seams, a heel clip, rugged toe cap and a rubber midfoot roll bar. Much like a standard sneaker, the bungee-style flecked lacing system makes its way up the throat but then differentiates itself by creeping around the collar to the heel, where it’s secured with a toggle. Anchor points are provided by woven light blue eyelets, and a light blue “Kasina” graphic appears on the heel tab directly above an adidas Consortium logo.
Down below, things are all about business with a full-foot white BOOST midsole providing exemplary comfort. The outsole proffers a lugged traction pattern for grip, and is constructed of high-quality Continental rubber for maximum resilience.
Half hiker and half sneaker, the Kasina x adidas Terrex Free Hiker is priced at $220 USD and is available now at retailers like Sneaker Politics.
Elsewhere in the world of the Three Stripes, Kanye West‘s adidas YEEZY BOOST 700 MNVN “Orange” is set to release exclusively in Los Angeles, Paris and Shanghai.
