adidas introduces a new silhouette prepared for outdoor terrain with the launch of the Radlander Moc. It is a unique model defined by its puffy silhouette and slip-on accessibility. The creation builds on the brand's ongoing line of unique captivating trail shoes.
The Radlander is inspired by a series of adidas hiking shoes from the 90s and early 2000s dubbed Badlander. The Radlander Moc is a functional design and has unique shoelace coverings. The shoes rest on top of wavy sole units which have a slightly psychedelic design. This time, it has the same wavy sole unit as the original, and the upper is quilted with a wavy pattern and supported with an insulated upper.
