Since the invention of their bulkier and much newer LXCON, adidas Consortium has been touching on the past with an extremely careful hand, pushing out inspired silhouettes with their newest rerelease to be the aforementioned’s much older brother: the Lexicon OG. While the current update featured toned down deconstructed elements of contrast stitching and a much bulkier stature, the original is heavily reminiscent of the surrounding design of its 1994 debut year, bringing about retro paneling along a classic color palette of white, black, and a deep purple. The latter comes expressive underneath the layered mudguards and constructed Three Stripes eyestays, with textural mesh — in varying knit size — add extra dimension to a shoe that surely needs no help. Sole units are also much more stripped down in favor of lower profile aesthetic while staying true to the icon it draws from.
