First Look at the adidas Equipment Takumi Sen “Silver Metallic”

When it comes to combining the past and the future, adidas is a five star veteran. From the Futurecraft 4D to the newly-announced Adizero Aruku, the German sportswear company is a master at blending eras, and if for whatever reason you need even more proof, just check out the brand new adidas Equipment Takumi Sen “Silver Metallic.”

The latest addition to adidas’ iconic EQT series, the top half of this sneaker is exactly what you’d expect. Working on a light grey mesh base, it’s overlaid by “Silver Metallic” leather throughout. The EQT’s signature “Equipment Green” hue hits the lateral and medial sidewalls as well as the tongue. A retro-inspired heel counter wraps around the back for added support, while complementary cotton laces tie everything together.

It’s a classic design. But as soon as you shift your focus down towards the bottom half of the shoe, you’ll quickly realise that this isn’t like any EQT that you’ve ever seen before. Why? Well, because the midsole is made from a huge slab of foam. This is infused with Lightstrike Pro cushioning, which delivers a responsive, energised feel, whether you’re navigating city streets or winding down with friends.

To round it all off, the trainer is finished with a Continental rubber outsole that provides unrivalled grip. The EQT Takumi Sen is then covered in 3M reflective panels, so you can flex even in low-light conditions.
