As the name suggests, the new silhouette features a notably earthy color scheme consisting of hues dubbed Cardboard, Wild Brown, and Semi-Frozen Yellow. In addition, the shoes boast a heavily textured design that, according to adidas, intends to mimic that of soil. Other notable features of the 'Hoverturf Plant and Grow' include adiprene cushioning, technical mesh uppers, premium quality leather construction, Three Stripe branding, and rubber toe overlays.

For those interested, the 'Hoverturf Plant and Grow' comes is now available to purchase exclusively in Australia via the adidas website.
