As Highsnobiety points out, the design takes inspiration from [trail runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mafate-x), as well as from [adidas'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adistar-cushion-3) 'EQT Tyranny,' which first made it debut back in 1998. Previously, the Type-05 was made available in neutral colorways of black, gray, and white. Now, the silhouette will also be offered in a light blue colorway, which is offset with complementary accents of black, gray, and white. The release also sees a refreshed all-black colorway, in addition to a white and gray variation that features accents of pastel yellow for contrast. Come September 2020, the new Type-05 colorways can be found on OAMC and adidas' web stores.
