adidas Originals has followed up the launch of its Valentine’s Day pack by revealing the latest iteration of its retro Racing 1 sneaker.

Cloaked in saturated shades of gold, the classic 1970s running silhouette has been streamlined for 2021. Sat atop an exaggerated sole unit, the sneaker houses lashings of suede and nylon on the upper, alongside the brand’s archetypal three-stripes that arrive in a vibrant “Cobalt”.

A Trefoil imprint sits proudly on the tongue and heel, while a sturdy black nubbed sole, which creeps onto the upper from behind, completes the look.

Available now from Aphrodite, adidas Originals’ Racing 1 “Gold/Cobalt” sneaker retails at £85 (approximately $115 USD).

In other sneaker news, New Balance has revealed its 327 sneaker in two new colorways.
