The adidas Tubular Invader perforated sneakers in Onix offer a modern take on what some might call a nod to the [moon boot design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-boot-sneaker), with a hightop silhouette complete with a stylishly minimal grey leather upper. The sneakers are ventilated throughout thanks to a series of small holes that run throughout the leather.

The shoes are made using both [synthetic materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-zponge) and high grade leather, to provide a soft and supple fabric similar to the texture of suede. The sneakers are decked out in a dapper and easy to dress dark grey colorway that runs throughout the upper to the laces and soles. The midsole portion of the shoe is tubular with a structured and fitted design that provides a sleek fit.
