When adidas Tubular technology was introduced in the early 1990s, it was met with great enthusiasm. The innovative concept combined the aesthetic appeal of a trendy design with the stability of functional features that prioritized security and stability. Modern-day Tubular footwear is built into a range of adidas footwear, including the sock-style Tubular Shadow.
This shoe is designed with complete comfort in mind and is made with a flexible knit upper that feels just as good to the touch as it does on your feet. The structure is ultra-lightweight, thanks to the airy EVA midsole. While it doesn’t pack much heft and volume to the shoe, the midsole provides just the right amount of support.
The Tubular Shadow has “burrito” tongues, which are locked down on a single side for security but are easier to pull on and off when you’re in a rush. These innovative shoes include traditional lacing systems that are simple to adjust. Also included is an OrthoLite sockliner, which offers a cushion-soft texture that won’t lose its integrity even with constant wear — and you will be wearing these kicks as much as possible.
A Contemporary Update
The modern edit of the adidas Originals Tubular Shadow offers a sleek and streamlined take on the original. With a pared-back, scaled-down approach that fits in nicely with minimalists, this shoe still has personality. You’ll find Tubular Shadow kicks in a variety of bright and neutral colors, ranging from soft peaches and moss greens to deep purples and rich reds.
And you can wear these stretchy shoes with your favorite adidas apparel and adidas accessories, too! Make them an integral part of your workout wardrobe and pair them with track pants or shorts when you’re pounding the pavement or running around on the court. Throw them on with joggers when you’re running out to tackle your errand list or just want something a little more than slides when you’re hanging around the house and want to be ready for anything that the day might bring.
