Matt Varga Much has been made about adidas’ revamped roster of signature basketball shoes, a shift that’s led to many commentators and fans alike placing the Three Stripes toward the top of the totem pole in the current landscape. Yet perhaps underdiscussed in that conversation are their efforts to highlight their archive roster—something the adidas Intimidation Low continues to speak to.
That interplay between their fresher inventions and pre-existing designs particularly plays out with the adidas Intimidation Low “Preloved Blue.” While each of Anthony Edwards’, James Harden’s, and Donovan Mitchell’s shoes have their own character, the uniting design feature at the heart of each is an inner/outer split between bootie security and exterior shells. The Intimidation Low tacitly nods to that with a similar aesthetic split here, carrying black mesh down its midline before splaying out into the titular cerulean shade in the layers beyond, delving into lighter “Clear Blue” on the molded midsole and lined synthetic cage at the quarter.
If this eye-catching edition has met its mark for you, you don’t have to wait long before pulling the trigger. The adidas Intimidation Low “Preloved Blue” is available now via adidas.com, retailing for $130.
