Following the release of an olive-toned sneaker being made available to European retailers, as well as the 'Red Apple' colorway, which could only be found in New York City, adidas continues the theme with a new pair of rainbows sneakers.
Although the colors underneath the black material on the upper are vibrant, the overall look of the rainbow sneakers is relatively subdued, with the clear accents of color popping out without making it difficult to incorporating into everyday ensembles.
Utilizing the brand's NMD model, the rainbow sneakers are sleek, lightweight and breathable, making the release perfect for walking around the city. Although the release was exclusive to European consumers, the rainbow sneakers sold quickly, with the limited-edition nature of the drop making sneaker fans even more eager to pick up a pair.
