The [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmos-pink-and-adidas) Originals Tubular Doom has been rendered in a new vibrant colorway. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, the popular silhouette is now offered in a popping pink option.

Dubbed the EQT Pink, the Adidas Originals Tubular Doom is redesigned in a [monochromatic pink colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-foam) done in shades of the breast cancer ribbon. While the colorway has been changed to a pink-on-pink palette, the rest of the shoe remains true to the traditional Tubular silhouette. The sneaker features a neoprene construction accented with a reflective nubuck upper and an elastic midfoot strap which secures the primeknit monosock, all atop the recognizable Tubular Doom midsole.

Sneaker enthusiasts looking to support [pink ribbon culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-in-pink) can expect the newly designed Tubular to drop on April 8th, 2016.
