adidas Response CL "Metal Grey" GZ1561

By the looks of it, there is a certain formula for a successful “dad shoe”. Chunky soles? Check. Grey colourways? Indeed. Sporty look? That’s a plus. The adidas Response CL seems to perfect the equation as it arrives with all-new colourways. This adidas Response CL “Metal Grey” looks to join the resurgence of dad shoes with this greyscale makeover. Definitely something to try from the Three Stripes if you don’t want New Balance and Nike Zoom Vomero.

Not everyone is familiar with the Response CL model but it’s certainly worth a try. Think of it as a dad shoe but not as hyped and easily available in stores. This colourway executes the dad shoe aesthetics well!

Some might think that the Response CL is an old silhouette from the 90s, but adidas actually just unveiled this shoe in 2020. The adidas Response CL takes inspiration from running shoes in the early 2000s, hence the throwback look. if this shoe came out in 2000, fans will definitely call this pair futuristic!

Typical adidas Response trainers from two decades ago usually feature mesh with textile overlays for added protection. That’s exactly what the Response CL shows, classic three stripes on the sides with the adidas branding on the tongue and heel give a lot of nostalgia.

This adidas Response CL “Metal Grey” executes the dad shoe look fairly well! Varying tones of Grey comprise the mesh and textile upper. TPU three stripes on the sides also serve as reinforcements for side-to-side stability.

Cop this pair this April 2023 on the official adidas UK website! You can also find more colourways dropping soon.
