According to the company, the new sneaker borrows its shape and structure from a retro adidas silhouette called the Quake, which made its debut in 2001. However, fans have already pointed out the shoe's resemblance to the popular YEEZY Foam Runner. The adiFOM Q boasts an eye-catching [foam skeletal design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) that features a unique asymmetrical cut-out pattern. In addition, the sneaker's inside come equipped with a premium sock liner construction. So far, adidas has only teased one colorway for the futuristic sneaker: an almost entirely off-white hue with subtle hits of orange on the shoe's cuffs. As of right now, the adiFOM Q has yet to receive an official release date, though fans can expect it to drop sometime in 2023.
