Nike just found itself in a position where the Free Flyknit and Flyknit Free are two different shoes. adidas is in a similar spot with this newest drop, which, if its suffix had been a prefix, we’d look to attribute the high-energy look to longtime Three Stripes collaborator Jeremy Scott. Instead, this is an in-house effort, the adidas Element Refine JS building on the lessons learned in developing Primeknit. This is adidas’ most efficient shoe to date with 90% material usage, all of which combines for a featherweight, highly breathable experience.
