The monochrome look is still going quite strong, and this new Tubular Nova from adidas Originals is no exception. This time the shoes come in an all-over red look, from the tongue to the laces to the sole.
The single color look is definitely a classic, although with brighter colors there’s always the risk that the shoe will lose some of its details. However, adidas Originals avoids this by using a variety of materials throughout the upper. The lace cage and toe are made up of suede, while the toe box and tongue use neoprene. The heel strip is mad of a custom nylon, and the light reflects off of the different textures cleanly.
The adidas Original Tubular Nova “Red” is hitting boutiques now, and retails for $120. Just don’t wear ‘em on the wrong side of town.
