Lightweight Laceless Sneakers

The Alexander Wang Adidas Sneakers are Similar to the NMD City Sock

After reportedly debuting a collaborative collection back in the September of last year, a fresh pair of Alexander Wang adidas sneakers are in the making.

Although there's not much information out right now concerning the exact release date, the price or other details, the two brands have given some insight as to what the end result will look like. Sock-like in appearance, the new Alexander Wang adidas sneakers have a lightweight and flexible build that makes them incredibly versatile.

In addition to ensuring its wearer's comfort, the sneakers' build makes them breathable, allowing them to easily transition to different seasons. With a midsole that's instantly reminiscent of the adidas BOOST model, they're also guaranteed to provide the perfect level of support.
