adidas Reveals the New Quake-Inspired 'adiFOAM Q' Silhouette

adidas’ ‘adiFOM Q’ was originally mistaken for a YEEZY model when it was first teased, due to its sculptural, rock-like exterior that resembles the YEEZY Foam RNNR. The upcoming release is inspired by the adidas Quake, which was originally launched in 2001 for the public.

The adidas ‘adiFOM Q’ boasts an eggshell-toned exterior that uses lightweight EVA, while dynamic lines, cutouts, and accents can be seen across the upper for ventilation purposes. The boot-like interior is constructed with gray Primeknit and orange branding elements, while the sneaker itself comes with Trefoil-branded tongue units. The sneaker is finished with a lacing system that is dipped in the same off-white shade as the uppers.

The adidas ‘adiFOM Q’ is slated for release in late 2022.
