Another adidas EQT Support Running makeup

Finally. More adidas Equipments. There was a time when we thought these would never return to these shores — let alone the Crooked store — but here they are. These are one of the best newer makeups (though we saw plenty of shelved colourways in the US adidas offices around 2007) in a while, matching the ALIFE editions and the phenomenal neons in the Footlocker exclusives offerings that appeared a few years back. Blue, grey and red brings out the best in the EQT Support Running, and the suede, mesh and plastic combo creates early '90s performance alchemy that can't be beaten and an approach to the 3-Stripes that represented a new golden era for the brand.

For Peter Moore to have involvement in both these and the Jordan I as part of his design portfolio ensures he remains a genius in our eyes. On first glance we can't imagine two more differing styles, but they both channel the best of each decade. We still bug out over this model, whether it's on the desk or on the foot — the branding as a functional supportive element, the futuristic heel counter...the sole unit's update of expensive late 1980's Torsion bases. You can update it, pay homage to it...whatever, but we want it to be joined by the rest of its flawless EQT brothers and sisters in equally excellent retros at some point in the near future.

One of the best pieces of 1990s design there is — footwear or otherwise, and these arrive in-store next month, ushering in some fresh colourways for a classic, though as we understand it, that heel numbering was axed, post-sample stage for the retail variation.
