Want to make your town famous? Shout it out on a shoe. That’s what adidas did with the upcoming EQT Creation Center pack. The Three Stripes’ hometown of Herzo, Germany makes an appearance along with other adidas think tanks based in Tokyo and Portland, with each EQT bringing to life the personality of each location. If you don’t have any EQTs in your rotation, now is the time to get on it as they’re poised to make a serious run at being the marquee retro runner for adidas.
The Herzo edition uses premium leather and nubuck construction with brown rope laces and a tonal forest green palette to reference the area’s verdant landscapes and history in traditional dress shoe manufacturing. For Tokyo, the shoe takes a strictly street level approach with all-over camo and snakeskin designs as a tribute to the city’s enduring global influence in streetwear fashion. The Portland design then pays tribute to the USA’s rich sportswear history using iconic heather-grey textures and a tanned leather heel stabilizer as references to the country’s diverse athletic heritage.
The adidas Originals EQT Creation Center Pack releases worldwide November 21.
