The new adidas BB Legends Low sneaker introduces a fresh, budget-friendly option for basketball players who value performance and style. While the Elite Performance Basketball division is currently soaring for The Brand With The Three Stripes, with NBA superstars such as Anthony Edwards and James Harden leading the way, making sure they produce sportswear that is affordable and accessible to all is a core intention of the brand. With a traditional shape and a familiar vibe, this new model looks to fill a gap.
The adidas BB Legends Low sports an upper crafted from natural and synthetic textiles that delivers durability and flexibility while maintaining a sleek look in cloud white. The translucent vinyl Three Stripes branding reveals metallic silver highlights that shimmer under different lighting conditions, adding a futuristic touch. Additionally, the reflective accents add a pop of personality while improving safety in low-light conditions.
A flowing stripe of halo blue mesh runs along the sneaker’s design for added breathability and flair. This foxing shimmers metallic, like the stripes, when captured under the right lighting conditions. Translucent rubber wraps around the toe to provide better durability.
Comfort is prioritized with a thickly padded tongue that features the EQT logo in striking pure ruby hues. This vibrant red tone extends to a reflective strip around the toe box, enhancing visibility and aesthetics during on-court action. The design seamlessly blends functionality with standout details, appealing to athletes who want an affordable yet stylish basketball shoe.
Underfoot, the adidas BB Legends Low employs Dreamstrike technology, providing responsive cushioning to absorb impact and support dynamic movements. The midsole ensures a smooth transition, making it ideal for quick cuts and jumps on the court. Complementing this is a translucent rubber outsole, delivering reliable traction across various playing surfaces.
The adidas BB Legends Low Cloud White Pure Ruby is set to release on January 1, 2025, via adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, retail is $75.
