German sportswear giant [adidas Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-cardboard) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-lightblaze-moc) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-millenium) 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.
