FRANKFURT, July 25 — To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its Micropacer OG running shoe with a built-in pedometer, Adidas Originals will reissue the shoe on August 16.
According to Adidas, the new shoe is a tribute to the original version, which with its metallic silver shell and colour-pop outsole was an entirely new look that enjoyed outstanding popularity upon its release in 1984.
Like the lace-less predecessor, the new Micropacer OG will proudly bear its pedometer on the tongue in place of a bow.
Updated features include a softer, water resistant leather lining and exterior and a slip-resistant rubber outsole.
Completing the updates, the new version boasts an EVA midsole, made from high-quality foam that's got plenty of air for maximum shock absorption.
The sneaker is set to retail for €150 (RM642).
Meanwhile, Adidas saw success in the US this week when its Samba Primeknit rapidly sold out upon release despite a US$300 (RM954) pricetag. — AFP-Relaxnews
