Adidas Originals is going all in on making bold new shoe statements, revealing a soccer-inspired shoe called Kamada. The debut version of the shoe shows a black nubuck upper with an extra-wide lacing system, all of which sits atop a striking, translucent gumsole-colored, ridged midsole.
The images here were posted on the Instagram account of @eartothestreet, who described the philosophy of the shoe at length. Describing the shoe design, he wrote, “Kamanda 01 is presented in an understated color palette with authentic references such as nubuck uppers, gold foil branding and translucent gum. A woven patch in the lining reads “world famous for quality,” referencing archival branding.”
He added, “Fusing our heritage with a new modern design language in a way that only Adidas Originals can: Kamada will reign supreme. Kamanda targets the grassroots squad who know what they want. They curate their looks, taking cues from the past and reinterpreting for today. They embrace the anti-hero, with inspiration stemming from an in-depth knowledge of music, art, sport and fashion. Kamanda stands for quality, credibility and culture.”
