New adidas Consortium Saturday 3.19.16

adidas Consortium Tubular Doom PK Special Forces
Breaking new grounds one step at a time in a true pioneering spirit, adidas brings us another exciting version of its revolutionary Tubular Doom. The sand-colored sneaker takes inspiration from technical equipment used by special forces - a field where one just cannot settle for compromises.
As with their elite gear, the requirements for state-of-the-art footwear move along the lines of functionality, comfort, and durability. Add that to today’s often demanding 3-Dimensional inner-city terrain where distance, depth and height define a new challenging surrounding for our everyday lives. In this maze of fractal environments, the special take on the Tubular Doom guarantees maximum maneuverability in any situation, in any direction.
On the intersection of design and performance, the adidas Consortium Tubular Doom PK stands for deserts and urban spaces alike. Both are challenging landscapes where one has to adapt to a variety of sometimes demanding conditions. For extra movability on any turf along the way, the adidas Primeknit construction as well as its bold midfoot elastic straps guarantee freedom and stability. Nylon ripstop side panels add another technical layer to the clean, yet sophisticated silhouette. Finished off by a white outsole, the highly versatile execution makes this a stand-out release, adding to adidas’ recent track record of spot-on innovations. Other details include military-inspired branding on the heel straps, an extra set of laces, as well as the Consortium branded insole.
Once again, adidas Consortium taps into new spheres off the beaten path with its latest addition to the Tubular Doom family. And similar to the world’s top military units, one has to come prepared in unconventional terrains. Because after all, the only way to lead is still to go first.
