adidas pulled this women's version toward technical outerwear rather than toward running heritage. The upper is a knit bootie in Orchid Tint, a washed lilac, but the layer on top is what changes its character: semi-translucent TPU overlays that add abrasion resistance and let the knit show through, so the structure stays visible rather than hidden.
A fused tongue label and welded Three Stripes continue that logic, both applied without stitching. At the heel, a branded pull tab sits underneath a transparent badge, another layer you see through rather than around. Collegiate Navy and Chalk Purple round out the palette, the navy grounding the pale upper and the chalky purple keeping it in the same family as the base colour. Below, the Boost midsole is supported by EVA inserts and a rubber outsole. It was issued in October 2019 at $130, the women's price the line held throughout.
