The 'Concord Mid II' is a casual sneaker release from adidas that's well-suited to consumers who are looking to diversify their footwear style with a flair that isn't overly bold.
With a silhouette that hits mid-high, the snakeskin sneakers have a certain eye-catching appeal that's enhanced by the rather unconventional material that covers it, especially in the case of the sand colorway that adidas offers it in. For those seeking out a look that's a little more subtle, the black variation is likely to be a better fit.
Both versions of the Concord Mid II have the snakeskin uppers contrasted with white components, which mark the three-stripe design that's iconic to adidas on the sides, as well as the tongue, laces, sole and bits of the heel.
