Dual compound outsoles balance durability and surface adherence

Reaching into the archives, adidas dusts off another 70s cult classic.

The Japan has existed on the outskirts of retro footwear circles for a few seasons now, making an occasional appearance on projects like the ongoing Wales Bonner collaboration but never a full-blown reissue. Now we see a more accessible contemporary release.

Slim leather uppers and supple suede comprise the upper construction with a supremely thin outsole that's in complete contrast to the maximalist footwear which has dominated shelves for years.
