adidas adiFOM Q (BLACK CABON)

SKU : HP6586

Despite claims from the being formerly known as “Kanye West” that the adidas adiFOM Q is a copy of one of his popular designs, the silhouette continues to expand its roster of colorways. The latest?: A stealthy “Core Black” and “Carbon” makeover.

Akin to a recently-seen “Footwear White/Grey One” style, the upcoming pair indulges in a uniform look across its EVA outer construction, with contrast arriving via the inner-bootie. A pitch-dark arrangement takes over the Yeezy Foam Runner-reminiscent upper and sole unit, although adidas’ proposition delivers a true “Core Black” experience and not a lighter “Onyx” one like Ye and team. The shoe’s sock-like insert, however, deviates in a “Carbon” tone that provides some contrast to the understated adiFOM Q, with trefoil logos and loops on the tongue differing from their surroundings. Together, each aforementioned component creates a versatile ensemble sure to draw attention from even the biggest skeptics, especially if the German sportswear behemoth can make its sneaker more accessible than Ye’s.
