adidas and Packer Shoes work in collaboration to create their version of the EQT 91/18 sneakers, with heritage inspiration drawn from the label's EQT Adventure series back in 1993. The piece merges traditional equipment aesthetics with elevated touches that prepare for outdoor adventures and the terrain that may come with it. The durable piece is finished in a triple-toned colorway, merging hues of black Blanch Cargo, and Sub Green.
The uppers are constructed from a wool blended Primeknit along with hairy suede completing its quarter panel details. There are also mesh accents and a TPU cage to hold it all in place for added security. This all sits on top of a rubber midsole, rounded out with rope lacing systems and leather lining details as well. The latest EQT 91/18 shoes are set to drop globally on October 6.
