adidas continues to expand on its 1990s designs revival by introducing the Nova IIInfinity in a subtle Legend Ink colorway. The latest Crazy series by adidas is set to reinvent classic designs with updated technology, perfect for performance and lifestyle wear.
In the '90s, one of the brand's most notable successes came with the release of the Equipment range, which athletes and sneaker enthusiasts quickly adopted. Featuring bold designs and advanced technology, adidas EQT shoes symbolize athletic prowess and style. When inventor Frampton Ellis licensed his Feet You Wear technology to the brand, it changed how sneakers would look forever, and the new design incorporated the inspirations of that era. Another pivotal moment for adidas Basketball in the 90s was its collaborations with top NBA stars, notably Kobe Bryant. The partnership with Bryant gave adidas a stronghold in the market and helped elevate the brand's reputation as a provider of high-performance gear for the next generation of players. The Brand With The Three Stripes understood that the appeal of basketball extended beyond the court and into street style, and they crafted shoes that resonated with fans on both fronts. A generation later, this is true as the IIInfinity range goes from strength to strength, adding the Nova IIInfinity silhouette alongside the Mad IIInfinity and Crazy IIInfinity models.
The adidas Nova IIInfinity Legend Ink arrives with a chunky retro-inspired look. The upper is dominated by a panel of synthetic leather adorned in Legend Ink hues. Breathable fabrics are used for the lining, offering increased flexibility and durability. The tongue is constructed from layers of core black mesh, offering comfort while keeping the shoe secure. More mesh also hits the back heel tab, this time in legend ink. Hits of metallic silver are seen on the midsole and eyelet, with reflective 3M detailing appearing at the heel above the durable plastic heel cup. The EQT logo is atop the tongue, with Three Stripes branding along the midfoot represented in the form of perforations. Underfoot, the legend ink hues continue encapsulating the midsole and rubber outsole.
The adidas Nova IIInfinity Legend Ink is set to release on November 9, 2024, via adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $130.
