The adidas Consortium world tour hits the southern shores of Italy for a premium edition of the EQT Guidance ’93 by Sneakers76. Based in Taranto, Italy, Sneakers76 chooses come local folklore and colors for their version of the classic running silhouette. Drawing hues from the surrounding Ionian Sea, the premium suede upper with solid and perforated panels takes inspiration from the Greek myth of Taras, son of Poseidon, who was shipwrecked off the coast of the region but was saved by a dolphin and went on to found Taranto. The coastal them is achieved by using aquatic blue-green and sandy tan, as well as dark grey to signify the modern bridge that crosses Taranto’s harbor.
