adidas Originals unveils the Never Made Collection

Posted on Oct 16, 2018 in Adidas

adidas has done an amazing job of combining their classic designs with their new age technology. Take for example the EQT/Boost line, 90s silhouettes taking on today’s cushioning. Extending that hybrid creation further, adidas Originals is releasing the Never Made Collection – 8 silhouettes that draw inspiration from three eras of design. adidas’ “Line of Descent” series takes the 1970s reimagined upper with today’s tech. First we have the I-5923 uppers with 4D tooling in the I x 4D, The classic Country now uses the aggressive detailing of the Kamanda in the Country x Kamanda. Lastly, adidas took the Marathon and added the same BOOST tooling found on the I-5923, creating the Marathon x 5923.

For the 80s, we have the “Genealogy of NMD” – adidas takes all three silhouettes where the NMD took inspiration from but now utilizing the NMD midsoles. By now, we all know that the NMD was inspired by three 80s silhouettes – the Micropacer, Boston Super and the Rising Star. Now all three pairs come in their OG colors but paired with BOOST soles used on the NMD. The Never Made editions are now called the Micropacer x R1, Boston Super x R1, and Rising Star x R1.

Finally, the “Genetically Modified 90s” series rounds out the Never Made collection. Feet You Wear and the EQT line were pretty big for the brand back in the 90s and now utilize BOOST for superior cushioning. The 98 x Crazy BYW brings together FYW aesthetics with their new podular BOOST. Lastly the ZX930 x EQT bring together a similar mash up of EQT with BOOST.

Inspired by the past, designed for the Future.
