Updated September 27th, 2024: The adidas Aruku CNCPTS exclusive is available now here for $140.

The adidas Aruku has been one of the more curious cases in footwear this year. While we’ve seen plenty of the shoe, sported by Gunna on stage multiple times and with a growing number of retail link-ups, general release pairs aren’t expected to debut until 2025. It’s that word from adidas that makes the silhouette so mysterious, only redoubled by the emergence of a CNCPTS exclusive adidas Aruku that just hit the newswire.

This CNCPTS Aruku adopts a gradient look on its mesh besh, a first in the burgeoning life cycle of the model, matched by a sunset-like ombre overtaking the Three Stripes branding. A stripe of 3M at the forefoot tips off a major detail not shown in these images:Deon Point of CNCPTS confirms with Sneaker News that the uppers are completely reflective. Underfoot, the dueling vibrant and neutral shades are juxtaposed in stark fashion, with the jagged traction panels asymmetrically split between those two palettes. The oversized SwirlFoam sole with a pronounced drop from heel to forefoot remains a major point of interest on the silhouette, with further performance specs sure to arrive as we near the model’s debut.

CNCPTS has officially announced a September 27th, 2024 release date in unisex sizing (M3.5-M14) for $160. Catch detailed in-hand images included ahead and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page nearby if this pair has caught your eye.
