NEIGHBORHOOD, the Tokyo label founded in 1994 by Shinsuke Takizawa, works almost exclusively in black and white, and that restraint carries straight onto this All Terrain build. A water-repellent Primeknit upper takes a bold geometric pattern with reflective detailing worked in, so the shoe stays monochrome by day and lights up under headlights. The Boost midsole is blacked out to match, and a rugged Continental rubber outsole handles the ground.
The pair came from a capsule inside the four-part adidas Run City collection and released on November 29, 2019 at $200, twenty dollars above the standard UltraBoost of that autumn. All Terrain was the right base for the partnership, since the NEIGHBORHOOD output has always leaned toward hard-wearing utility rather than performance styling. The reflective work is the detail that repays close attention, because it stays almost invisible until the light is wrong for everything else.
