# 70s-Themed Simplistic Sneakers adidas' Americana Low Sneaker is Detailed with a Red Stripe By Amy Duong | Published 2020-03-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americana-low References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/adidas-americana-low-release-date-price/) & [adidas](https://www.adidas.com/us/americana-low-shoes/EF6385.html) [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl-72-shoes) introduces another iteration of its signature Americana Low sneaker model, which is a classic design that dates back to the 70s. It retains some retro design elements in the latest update with the same silhouette. It was originally launched as a basketball shoe and has since grown to be a staple piece in the brand's line up. The design is minimal and fresh, making it versatile to match any wardrobe and occasion. The new update showcases the signature stripes replaced with logo graphics across the tongue and the sides. The uppers are made from [white leather materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt) paneling together with [soft suede](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jabbar-low), sitting on a rubber midsole and sole foundation tied together with a lacing system. As a slight contrasting touch, there is a red leather applique band.
