# Mute Tonal Sneaker Colorways adidas Originals Releases Classic Silhouettes in New Colorways By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-11-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonal-sneaker References: [adidas](http://www.adidas.ca/en/originals) The [tonal sneaker aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-grey-colorway) allows for wearers to be subtly chic and coordinate their outfit with ease. To bring together style and comfort, [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/song-for-the-mute-adidas) [Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-ii-japan) boasts a four-shoe drop that reimagines two of "the brand's most progressive contemporary silhouettes." These are the ZX Torsion and the Torsion X. The first tonal sneaker model pays tribute to an "enduring archive color scheme," instilling a vibe that is derived from the brand's heritage. The Torsion X, on the other hand, is adorned in nuances that mute its "maximalist, overbuilt aesthetic." This strikes a balance between form and quality. The silhouettes are complete with a BOOST midsole, which guarantees the stability and comfort of those who wear the all-new ZX Torsion and the Torsion X.
