First Look: adidas introduces new Tubular iterations


This season, Tubular challenges the rules and conventions of “high fashion”, disrupting the status quo and starting a dialogue about where, and to whom fashion belongs. The story we tell is one that connects the streets to the catwalk – showing that today, street rules fashion, and not the other way around.



NOVA Tubular apparel collection

This September, adidas Originals presents the latest instalment of its NOVA Tubular apparel collection for men and women.  Informed by archive adidas designs and distinct moments in sportswear history, the NOVA Tubular collection’s unique blend of references culminates as a considered expression of modern style perspectives. The apparel collection explores unorthodox colour palettes including classic heather greys and blacks to forest greens for men and olives, navy blues and pinks for women.



In the men’s range, this ethos manifests through a range of weather-ready pieces, including windproof tracktops and pants, patterned crewneck sweats and classic jersey pieces. For the women’s offer, this same ethos is applied to a selection of feminine silhouettes such as leggings, hoodies, sweats and skirts.

Tubular Rise

 

Introducing a brand new silhouette this season, adidas Originals presents perhaps the boldest iteration of the Tubular philosophy yet with the creation of the Tubular Rise model. Offered in a tonal tan colourway, a Primeknit upper provides an adaptive, comfortable foundation, structured by a large suede midfoot cage and elastic heel counter. Space-dyed neon fibres in the upper textile push the futuristic aesthetic even further, whilst a modern, integrated lacing system blends into the shoe’s aggressive design. This is then placed atop a textured EVA midsole with moulded stability plugs, including an overflow panel that rises up across the shoe’s heel quarter.

Tubular Dawn




adidas Originals also steps forward with two new iterations of the new Tubular Dawn silhouette, offering the women’s-exclusive model in a duo of classic colourways.

With a notable use of tone and texture, the first iteration features a matte mesh textile upper in Utility Black, with 3D embroidered details on the forefoot and heel. This is expanded by webbing details on the quarter with a reflective silicone print, integrating into a modern lacing system with two-tone laces. The design is then placed upon the distinctive ridged outsole of the Tubular Doom silhouette, finished with a nubuck leather heel piece and Tubular branding on the tongue. This is then countered by a Primeknit edition in Trace Olive, swapping mesh out for adidas’ adaptive Primeknit material with a woven speckle motif, countered with a leather heel piece for a premium take on the Tubular Dawn aesthetic.

Tubular Doom PK W / Tubular Doom Sock PK





The Tubular Doom steps out in a trio of new iterations this month, courtesy of adidas Originals. First up, the original Tubular Doom silhouette will be releasing in a women’s-exclusive iteration. The shoe’s sock-fit design is brought to its apex through a full Primeknit upper, supported by structural overlays and a contrast heel-cage panel. Offered in a clean Raw Pink colorway with contrast Vapour Grey details, the release brings the aggressive aesthetic of the Tubular Doom into a softer, feminine context without sacrificing any of its original energy.

Accompanying the Tubular Doom PK, the Tubular Doom Sock arrives in a new Primeknit construction, structured by a rear heel-support piece and an integrated lacing system. The Tubular Doom Sock PK will be available in Charcoal and Core Black colourways.


Tubular is available at adidas Originals stores, adidas online store, AREA3 and selected retailers.

adidas Originals releases Tubular Runner Primeknit Snake Pack


Having set the pace in 2015 with an intuitive blend of athletics and aesthetics, the adidas Originals Tubular has made an enduring mark in both performance and casual footwear. This season the most progressive silhouette from adidas Originals meets the most advanced Primeknit technology…the result: the Tubular Runner Primeknit Snake Pack.

Primeknit technology- a method that digitally knits the entire upper in just one piece- uses knitted fused yarn that fine tunes the exact amount of flexibility and support needed in every part of the shoe. This means lightweight comfort that wraps seamlessly around the foot, whilst fewer materials produce less waste.

sRendered in a snake print Primeknit upper, the Tubular Runner’s clean visual language references integral moments in three-stripes innovation history and features technical features that ensure comfort and support for the wearer – a testament to the shoe’s unified form and function.

The Tubular Runner’s Primeknit snake pattern is combined with adi Film vacuum melted overlays creating a contemporary look that is ready to take center stage. Released in two colourways, the “Black Carbon” (executed with one piece of a black and grey knit weave) and “Blue Spice” (executed with one piece of light blue and grey knit weave), both these features rest atop the cushy, lightweight Tubular outsole system.



The Tubular Runner Primeknit Snake Pack will be available at AREA3 and adidas Originals stores in Canal Walk and V&A Waterfront in Cape Town as well as Menlyn Park Shopping Centre in Pretoria, from 1 July at a recommended retail price of R2299.

First Look: The Tubular from adidas Originals



With an uncompromising design that marries function and aesthetic like never before, adidas Originals presents a new footwear silhouette - the Tubular. Born from some of the brand's most creative minds, the Tubular echoes the fearlessness found in the world of sports and channels this directness into a bold new silhouette that is as streamlined, as it is headstrong.

The Tubular's namesake is its unique outsole design, inspired by inner tire tubes, which features dual-density EVA for unbeatable comfort. Partnered with stabilising plates, the Tubular supports the wearer with a firm stance, whilst sacrifices nothing in the way of aesthetic. A sock-fit neoprene upper continues the contemporary street look and features printed overlays that provide additional support.


The Tubular embodies the creative, pioneering philosophy of adidas Originals. Refined, responsive and deeply considered, it's a bold new take on progressive sneaker design that's instinctive to the brand with the 3-stripes.

For the debut mainline appearance of the brand new Tubular silhouette, adidas Originals presents the Tubular Runner.

Offering two iterations of the sport and style crossover for November, the Tubular Runner couples the shoe's minimalist design with four streamlined colour palettes in solid grey and core black. Each model's upper from the neoprene sock and leather heel-cage to the laces and structural overlay has been rendered in a smooth tonal treatment, offset by an all-white midsole in the shoe's featherweight dual-density EVA.

The Tubular Runner demonstrates the silhouette's true versatility, championing the shoe's progressive and style-conscious edge in its purest form.



You can shop the Tubular for R1,599 at the following stores:

  • adidas Originals Canal Walk, V&A Waterfront and Menlyn Park Shopping Centre;
  • a store is good;
