The EQT BASK ADV shoe is adidas Originals' newest addition to its EQT family and pays homage to 90s-inspired basketball styles that transition from being worn on the court to on the street. Its bold design is meant to seamlessly marry fashion with function and is spotlighted in a new 'Original is Never Finished' campaign which stars rapper and sneaker lover A$AP Ferg.
The EQT BASK ADV features a knitted mesh upper and is accented with adidas' iconic 3-stripe detailing. The shoe also features exclusive heel embroidery, molded TPU panels and structural suede construction elements.
A fresh take on a classic 90s silhouette, this sneaker will appeal to nostalgia-loving fashion fans. Additionally, its practical, comfortable and street style-inspired design makes the shoe a versatile investment piece for any sneaker collector.
