adidas brings back an archival model with the latest edition of the Ghost Sprint sneaker model with the Magic Beige colorway. It was first unveiled in the 2000s as a running model, specifically designed for sprinting, as the namesake suggests. Now, about twenty years later, it is joining the brand's roster as a part of its lifestyle selection.
The upper is made with molded suede and it is decorated with a Three Stripes branding on each side of the midfoot. The brand's logo continues at the tongue and heel tab in a tonal application. The all-beige colorway is complete with a textured gum outsole unit as the forefoot has an off-white lacing system to secure the foot in place.
