Adidas Drops New Silhouettes for Spring/Summer 2023
The 4DFWD Pulse 2 Running Shoes were released in March 2023 and were an immediate success, increasing the anticipation for the upcoming sneaker collection set to be released in April. This collection features several Three Stripes silhouettes with exciting iterations and colorways, eagerly awaited by fans of the brand. Among the sneakers set to drop this month are the Adidas Campus Light “Olive” x Bad Bunny, the Adidas TERREX WMN Hiker Mid Rain, the Adidas x Marimekko SS23 footwear collection, and the Adidas D.O.N. Issue 4.
The Bad Bunny x Adidas Campus Light “Olive” boasts an olive suede upper with a dark green hue on the collar and tongue, brownish-tinted inner heel collar, and cream-colored heel counter and midsole, paying homage to the first shoe in the series. The TERREX WMN Hiker Mid Rain was created by women for women and features RAIN. R.D.Y. materials for a waterproof ride, with feedback from female hiking groups incorporated into the design. The Adidas x Marimekko SS23 collection features vintage posters and futuristic designs, with court revival shoes that where released on April 8.
Furthermore, the Easter-inspired Adidas D.O.N. Issue 4 was recently showcased by Donovan Mitchell during the “Remember Your Why” campaign launch in Salt Lake City.
The “Wonder Mauve” technique is a new sneaker design that focuses on the inner sidewalls of the heel, the logos on the tongue, and the mid-foot shank, which are highlighted by digital pink and cream accents. The shoe was released on April 9, 2023, and is available for $100 at select retail locations and the official Three Stripes website.
In addition to the “Wonder Mauve” sneakers, Adidas was also set to release a long- awaited collaboration with Fear of God in April 2023. After three years of anticipation, the first glimpse of these kicks has finally been exposed on social media. The upcoming sneakers feature a mid-cut design with the Three Stripes logo on the toe and the Fear of God branding on the heel, all in a cream and black color scheme with transparent detailing on the side sole. Sneakerheads are particularly excited about this statement, which will feature the Lightstrike cushioning system and a forefoot strap.
Adidas dropped the highly anticipated Adidas x Fear of God sneakers on April 19, 2023, with select retail stores and the official Three Stripes website offering the shoes. Although Adidas has many other launches slated for this year, these two sneaker models are currently the most talked about by fans of the brand.
Which Offers Better Quality: Nike or Adidas?
Nike and Adidas differentiate themselves in their use of materials and technologies. Nike’s Flyknit fabric provides a lightweight and breathable fit, while Adidas uses Boost moderating to provide enhanced comfort. Nike also uses Flywire technology to ensure a secure fit. Regarding the visual aspect, Nike focuses more on performance, while Adidas emphasizes fashion. Both brands offer similar quality products and excellent value for money. Performance-oriented individuals may prefer Nike, while those seeking fashion- forward designs may lean towards Adidas.
In summary, Adidas and Nike offer shoes of varying quality. Adidas offers a wide range of shoes at more affordable prices with a diverse selection of designs. Nike, on the other hand, is known for its top-of-the-line materials and innovative designs that are built to last. Ultimately, it’s up to personal preference to decide which of these legendary brands best suits your needs.
