Grey and beige rarely share a shoe because they fight each other, and the interest here is in watching adidas make them agree. Aluminium, a cool silvery grey, forms the Primeknit ground. Wonder Beige, warmer and creamier, takes the midfoot cage and the heel counter. Olive Strata appears in small amounts as a green-grey accent that sits between the two. The result changes character depending on which tone the light favours.
The platform is the reissued 1.0, meaning the February 2015 pattern with its knitted sock upper, plastic cage laced through the eyestay and full-length Boost midsole of fused thermoplastic polyurethane pellets. It sold at $190 on July 12, 2023, ten dollars above the base tier and well under the collaboration versions from the same year. Neutral colourways like this one carry the bulk of the catalogue, and the distinguishing work is done entirely by how the three tones are placed.
