The Adidas Mega TORSION Flex Easy Run Gets Inspired by the Originals Model

Adidas has been fairly quiet on the trainers department, but the brand is coming back with some new running shoes with the Adidas Mega TORSION Flex Easy Run.

First thing to note about the Adidas Mega TORSION Flex Easy Run is that the design is modeled after the brand's Originals design. It has the simple classic low-top, which is stylish for the streets and the track. What's different is the material. For athletic purposes, the upper is now constructed with a breathable mesh for flexibility and breathability. Then there's the addition of the TORSION system designed for midfoot integrity. The sole has been modified for flexibility purposes with a design similar to Reebok's Realflex and Nike's Free+ models.

The runners are available in red and black.
