The “Metallic Grey” colorway is meticulously applied, with varying shades of grey across the Primeblue knit base, neoprene tongue and sockliner for a harmonious, monochromatic look. This pared-down palette underscores a modern, polished vibe, making the sneaker equally suited for performance and casual wear.
Dovegrey informs much of the upper, including the breathable mesh that helps ensure comfort during intense game play. The striking Metallic Grey honeycomb generative support wing provides structural support and a bold visual edge, while a reflective toebox enhances visibility and adds a modern touch while delivering lateral stability.
Inside, the shoe swaps the standard Jet Boost for Light Boost pucks in the heel and forefoot, complemented by Lightstrike cushioning throughout, optimizing responsiveness and impact absorption. The outsole, meanwhile, features a herringbone traction pattern in tonal grey, guaranteeing grip on various surfaces and supporting high-intensity maneuvers.
Footwear White adidas branding on the heel, along with Edwards’ logo on the tongue contributes to the clean, minimalist finish of this sneaker package.
