adidas originals has really set the tone for combining style and comfort, particularly with the adidas EQT 93/17 model.
Paying homage to an old school EQT with some new school waves of the present really sets the tone for just what’s coming from the German footwear company.
The adidas EQT 93/17 is one of the most comfortable kicks off court. Influenced by the original EQT with its wrap-around tongue and winged lacing support designed for appropriate lockdown, the shoe stands out while being simplistic.
The ‘Core Black’ 93/17 features an all-black Primeknit upper, ribboned three stripes, and an updated synthetic leather midfoot overlay around the ankle area. The midsole is a full-length slab of Boost cushion. The Boost on this particular model is, to me, bouncier than the UltraBoost and the original PureBoost, surprisingly. The outsole utilizes a generic faded white/gum outsole which is okay for casual use, just not for necessarily great for running because of the lack of grip.
I personally own a few pairs of EQT 93/17 and it is like having clouds on feet — if you can get a pair. This particular model is probably one of the most sought after pair due to its limited run. We are hoping adidas makes more available pairs because I believe everyone would definitely enjoy this model.
For those anxious to get a pair, you might have to wait a bit as the release time is set for sometime in October 2017 with the price of $180.
What do you think of the color block used on the EQT 93/17? Do you already own a pair in a different colorway? How do you like them?
i don’t like the 93/17…sure it’s a decent shoe, the upper is incredible, but it’s too much boost under your feet, to the point where you feel like your foot isn’t in contact with the ground, some people like the extreme mushiness, and, sure, you probably haven’t experienced boost as thick as this before, but for everyday use, for walking around in for a few hours, i’m not gonna wear these….
