adidas launches new iterations of the Padiham sneaker model, referencing the past as the inspiration behind the designs. The focus is specifically on the 70s and the cycling jerseys during that time. As the sportswear label brings life back to its cycling line, it launches two new colorways.
The woolen cycling jerseys inspire the lightweight suede materials making up the sneakers' upper. Additionally, there is also a serrated lace collar as well as a shorted t-toe overlay on top. The first of the two colorways is a Spice Orange, which has hues of white, blue, red as the stripes and sits on a contrasting white midsole foundation. The second tonal option is a Glow Pink palette that sits on top of a classic gum sole unit and features same striped branding.
