Not too long ago, pictures of the Adidas adiPower Howard were revealed, but now the brand is giving an official unveil for a more detailed look.
In terms of shape, the Adidas adiPower Howard is fairly similar to the adiZero Rose 2, but there are a few design details that set this piece apart. The upper showcases a smoky gray that's contrasted by the white stripes and a blue outline, which is definitely a nod to the colors of the Magic. The side features ankle pillows designed for comfort and it boasts Howard's jersey number. The tongue shows off the NBA star's signature, while the insoles reveal his smiling face. On the technical side, the Z torsion system has been built onto the bottom sole, while the SPRINTSKIN technology has been utilized to reinforce the strength of the sneaker.
