adidas Originals continue to play with their latest addition to the Originals line, releasing this Blast Purple/Black Tech Super.

Having only re-issued the Tech Super at the beginning of this year, adding it to the posthumous Originals family, adidas have really hit the ground running dropping the OG first up, swiftly followed by an exclusive double pack for size? and now they have started messing with materials already. For us, it’s a little too soon to be tinkering with the materials – we could have happily gone at least a year while they explored colourways with the original makeup before they introduced new materials. However, this shoe is unarguably nice and the outdoor inspired material additions of nylon on the upper, a tech mesh tongue, leather branding and round laces works real good on the Tech Super.

This is a great variation on the classic Tech Super and is hopefully a sign that adidas are really putting in the leg work lately, dropping heat on a regular basis. Who knows what other experiments we’ll see done on the Tech Super, but hopefully nothing too extreme too soon and never part of the Jeremy Scott collection.

Pick up the Blast Purple/Black Tech Super from Urban Industry now for £79.99.
