Sportswear label adidas introduced the new Marquee BOOST sneakers as a basketball-informed silhouette with both high and low-cut options. The new footwear series is offered in a selection of colorways that feature special edition iterations from athletes John Wall and Kristaps Porzingis. The sneakers are constructed from a blend of mesh and nylon materials throughout the uppers -- this leaves space for a plethora of different colors and patterning.
There are branding details over the side in the form of adidas' signature stripes with additional details including a ribbing tongue tab, cushioned ankle collar and embroidered trim. The silhouette is rounded out with a full-length signature BOOST midsole and a special accent over the forefoot that transfers over towards the mudguard.
