adidas and Bangkok streetwear boutique Carnival have officially launched their retro gaming-inspired collaboration, the Carnival x adidas Adizero EVO SL “The Grey Console.” The collaborative performance runner channels ’90s hardware aesthetics across one of the Three Stripes’ most popular modern silhouettes.
Dressed in an industrial grey mesh upper, the pair pays tribute to iconic retro gaming systems such as the Nintendo 64 and original Sony PlayStation. Dark grey and black side-stripe paneling grounds the muted base, while pops of red, green, yellow, and blue line the eyelets to mirror classic controller buttons. Tonal Adizero branding runs vertically up the tongue, complemented by subtle co-branded graphics on the interior insoles.
Despite its lifestyle-driven inspiration, the silhouette preserves its elite performance credentials. The midsole houses lightweight Lightstrike Pro cushioning technology, delivering high energy return and daily comfort for both pavement pounding and casual wear. A durable rubber outsole provides dependable traction underneath to complete the retro-themed setup.
