German sportswear giant adidas Originals introduces a first look at the signature adiFOM Q sneaker model. It is showcased in an off-white colorway that has sculpted details throughout the upper and is made from a blend of lightweight EVA that is accented with dynamic lines.
It also features some cutout details to ensure that there is breathability and ventilation. The exterior is crafted from foam shells that are cut to apply the traditional lacing system over the forefoot with branding details applied at the back in the form of the Trefoil logos. It has a hoot-like interior using the signature Primeknit materials and the tongue rounds out the new silhouette with a blend of both grey and orange hues.
