These newly dropped Adidas Originals Tubular Runner Black/Onix ($110) are a redo of the ’90s ZX 7000 silhouette. These feature a Neoprene upper with leather and synthetic overlays and snakeskin embossing. The uppers also feature leather heel accents and turquoise tongue pull tabs. The whole kit rides on a chunky EVA outsole.
The Nike Air Footscape Desert Chukka QS ($219) is Nike’s latest take on their classic woven chukka. This version has an all black woven upper that sits on an all white midsole. The midsole makes use of Nike’s Freemotion Sole tech. Additional features include rubber outsole panels and a leather heel panel.
