Gunna Helps Debut the adidas AdiZero Aruku

Running and performance footwear is experiencing a boom in popularity, especially as we draw closer to the in . In the lead up, brands have been debuting new silhouettes and tech at an unbridled pace, including fresh new running, basketball and even . There’s also been a swathe of lifestyle models that are themed around the Olympics or are taking inspiration from performance silhouettes, and are next to preview a model that straddles this line: the adiZero Aruku.

An early look at the adidas adiZero Aruku has surfaced via @arab_lincoln, and it hosts a mix of both old and new adidas DNA; however, while the beef-up model looks like a performance shoe, it’s actually a running-inspired lifestyle silhouette. The first giveaway that this isn’t a performance shoe is the name – ‘Aruku’ in Japanese means ‘to walk’, which would be a weird thing to call a running model. Additionally, the midsole doesn’t host any tech details and instead rocks the brand new Swirlfoam, whereas the upper has been crafted with mesh alongside added TPU overlays.

You can expect the adidas adiZero Aruku to land in October this year, but stay locked to Sneaker Freaker to keep updated.
