adidas Tubular Shadow Knit – Poor Man’s Yeezy
Hey, guys! Today we are going to review newest adidas tubular model – Adidas Tubular Shadow Knit.
Now, it’s obvious that adidas had in their minds Yeezy 350 shoe when making the new Tubular Shadow model. New model has similar design to Yeezy 350, but the list ends up here… Adidas Tubular Knit does not have BOOST or BOUNCE cushion, Continental rubber compound or other fancy tech. But it doesn’t need all of this.. I mean, it will be nice that the new Tubular Shadow model had BOOST cushion, but then you will be looking at completely different shoe with bigger price tag.
In my opinion, this model is perfect casual shoe. I’m really digging new design, it looks great with jeans, joggers or shorts and for this price you couldn’t ask for more.
