adidas Originals continues to hit us with heat. With the appearance of a higher fashion sneaker, the Lux Open features a unique upper design encompassed of strips in the premium leather. The iconic 3 stripes are still seen, although blended into the surrounding stripes, by distinguishing serrated edges. This is part of the growing trend of the absence of brand labeling on apparel and footwear. The clean design is rounded out by a tonal gray color palette on the ankle support. Available now at United Arrows.
