The adidas Response CL continues to bring early aughts flavor to 2023.

Recently, the adiPRENE-cushioned silhouette emerged in a fall-friendly suede build. Hits of “Focus Olive” and “Dark Brown” take on the bulk of the sneaker, with “Core Black” also claiming real estate throughout the upper and sole unit. Mesh is still visible at the tongue, but profiles, toe boxes, and heel areas are covered in a fuzzy fabric sure to protect against the impending cold. Sole units transplanted from adidas Running‘s offerings from the 2000s contribute to the earthy arrangement on the Response CL: an olive hue takes over most of the midsole, with pitch-dark contrast arriving underneath the forefoot and at the heel.

Enjoy detailed photography of the pair ahead, and find the shoes available right now at select shops overseas. A stateside adidas.com launch hasn’t been confirmed by the brand as of this writing.
