adidas Consortium Is Bringing Back the EQT Cushion '91 Complete With City Map Embroidery
Paying homage to the Boston Marathon, this pair also features hidden details such as a heat map graphic and the American flag.
adidas is celebrating the EQT line’s 30th anniversary with a host of collaborations, but aside from this now comes the Three Stripes’ general release pairs designed under the label’s Consortium division. First to drop is the EQT Cushion ‘91, which is famed for its dual cushioning system that made it a formidable runner back in the ’90s.
This pair is served up in “EQT Green/Cloud White/Core Black” with a city map embroidered theme decorating the majority of the upper, paying homage to the Boston Marathon which is set to commence on October 11. For the first time since its retro release in 2014, the EQT Cushion ‘91 returns in all its vintage glory, equipped with quintessential elements such as SoftCell cushioning in the heel, a Torsion system — which is tinted in chrome on the outsole — and its asymmetrical collar on show.
“Core Black” suede makes up the upper before “EQT Green” thread has been used to mark out the city map design all over. More green highlights the EQT-branded tongue, while a “Cushion”-stamped dubrae can be found beneath. Further EQT branding hits up the external heel cage, while hidden details such as the American flag and a heat map design can be found inside the tongue’s zippered pouch and insole, respectively.
The adidas Consortium EQT Cushion ‘91 is set to release at retailers such as Nice Kicks on October 9 for $120 USD. Check the pair out above.
