adidas is nothing short of a global powerhouse, but what some 'heads may not realize is just how far across the globe the Three Stripes actually reaches. What better way to tell that story than with a pack of sneakers?
Introducing the adidas EQT Support "Creation Center" Pack, which references the brand's footprints in Portland, Ore., Herzo, and Tokyo. Pictured above and immediately below is the Tokyo version, which adopts a camo printed upper with snakeskin detailing on the white panels, both of which serve as a nod to Tokyo's impact on streetwear.
Meanwhile, adidas' global headquarters in Herzo, Germany gets an EQT Support built with an forest green leather and nubuck upper and capped off with brown laces. This palette is inspired both by Herzo's lush foliage, referenced by the nubuck and forest green, and the city's legacy of traditional dress shoe making, which is apparent on the leather and brown laces.
Last but certainly not least is the Portland, Ore., inspired makeup, which takes on a heather-grey polyester based upper, an allusion to the country's love for sportswear. Tanned leather adds a touch of heritage Americana style at the heel and medial support wing.
Together, this group represents the wide range of influences and cultures of adidas employees around the world. Although select styles have already begun surfacing, the official launch date for this pack is November 21.
