adidas Originals continues to add to the X9000 line with the recent drop of the X9000L4 sneaker model in a colorway that blends together the hues Crystal White, Silver Metallic, and SIgnal Green. The sneaker model boasts a vibrant design language and has an upper crafted from mesh materials.
This serves as the base foundation before detailed with floating triangular shapes and underlays for the purpose of added support of the foot. These accenting details are informed in blue, red, and silver for some tonal contrast. This adds structural support above all, along with the unique aesthetic of the shapes. The heel clip and the 3M Three Stripes feature the Metallic Silver color for a bright pop that also travels towards the mid-panel as well.
