Over the years, almost every sneaker maker out there has pulled designs from the archive to update it with modern features or style points. If even just the Stan Smith updates they’ve released over the years are any indication, adidas is no different. But the new adidas Never Made collection is a bit different than normal archive pulls because they’re remixing classic archive elements with modern tech instead of just doing a quick update. We’re talking original mid-’80s Boston Super trainer style outfitted with modern cushioning. A retro running and football style nylon-and-suede hybrid that feels like a Stan Smith and Samba combination with the iconic stripes, heel and sculpted gum-rubber outsole. The almost candy cane colored ZX930XEQT that mash-up ’80s designs with a molded EQT midsole. Each one of the seven different shoes in the Never Made collection has a unique blend of vintage style and modern tech that will look great with just about anything.
