The adidas Consortium has a hot new look with the City Series, New York blackout feel. The 1980’s running classic mixes suede and mesh, which is definitely an odd (yet unique) mix for a running sneaker.

Some shy away from the adidas Consortium because the weather can tear these puppies up rather quickly. The adidas Consortium – City Series takes white from the orginal colorway and applies it to the Dellinger webbed midsole. The upper is primarily constructed from a hardwearing, water-resistant fabric, including the 3-Stripes, while the matching black tongue and heeltab are made of leather. Cranking up the hardwearing look that the high grip outsole always hinted at, the ghilly lacing that once took the top three eyelets has been replaced by brass d-rings too, while leather lining is a premium touch to this wet-weather friendly makeover.

All in all, it’s one of the sweetest, high maintenance looks on a running shoe I’ve seen in quite some time.
