NOAH and adidas Craft Sleek SL72 and SL20s

NOAH and adidas have teamed up for vibrant takes on the SL72 and SL20 silhouettes. Both models come in colorways of “Blue” and “Black” that accentuate their sleek molds. The SL72 comes with a construction that resembles that of a Samba: a low-cut build that tapers around the toes. Stamped at the top of the tongue is a co-branded motif of a shell, reinterpreting adidas’ Trefoil logo, which sits just below a bold “NOAH” logo. The same graphic appears over the shoe’s leather heel counter, complemented by jagged Three Stripes branding along the sidewalls.

Besides ballistic nylon paneling along the body, the rest of the uppers come in suede, finishing off the shoe’s textured design. Boasting a slightly sportier look is the SL20, made up of a bevy of technical materials like mesh and nylon. A skinny ripstop pull tab is placed at the tongue, complemented by a set of flat laces that cover the forefoot. Bold rubber overlays appear over breathable mesh sidewalls, complemented by “SL20” branding thinly etched in gold. Other details like suede eyelet panels, mudguards and a crisp white midsole round off the sneaker’s finely crafted design. NOAH and adidas’ SL72 and SL20 are currently available on SSENSE’s website for $100 USD and $130 USD, respectively. In case you missed it, check out adidas and OAMC’s FW20 footwear collection.
