Rugged Running Boots

The adidas Tubular GSG9 Has a Boot-Like Silhouette

— October 21, 2015 — Fashion
The adidas Tubular GSG9 has an extremely rough and rugged look. Its two-toned colorways are neutral and are contrasted with the iconic adidas Tubular foam-like outsole system. The Tubular collection features Primeknit, moccasin inspirations, with the GSG9, a winter-ready boot.

Adapting the Tubular series to its collection of durable boots is new for the athletic retailer. The introduction of the Tubular GSG9 may signal a more pronounced entrance into the winter boot market. The GSG9 features Cordura weather-resistant nylon perfect for cold and wet weather. Also, the rough pigskin suede can be utilized while trekking through wintery conditions. Currently, the Tubular GSG9 comes in two colorways with the neutral tan showcasing the shoe's premium construction and durable material. A black and yellow pair will also be available.

3. Merging Athletic and Durable Styles - The adidas Tubular GSG9 blends the styles of athletic and durable footwear, offering opportunities for further innovation in creating shoes that combine both styles and can be worn for both sports and outdoor activities.
Industry Implications
