adidas introduces a new tonal iteration of the chunky HYPERTURF Adventure sneaker model for the season with the new Sand Strata colorway to join its roster. The shoe is detailed with a blend of dark red, light brown, cream, and a touch of turquoise. The shoes are inspired by the outdoors and have elements drawn from the 90s to channel a retro theme and archival running features.
It is made from a blend of materials throughout the upper and rests on a grippy outsole unit. Additional details include the ankle straps detailed with HYPERTURF letters along the rubber Trefoil branding and the custom Three Stripes branding on the lateral side of the shoe. It is rounded out by a light brown lacing system over the forefoot to finish the earthy tonal shoe.
