Matt Varga Kicking it like it’s 2008. The adidas Adistar Control 5 recently let loose six colorways via adidas.com, revitalizing an archival runner to match still-dominant throwback aesthetics. The model retails at $120. We’ve included the full slate of new looks below with respective “Where To Buy” sections — scroll further for a breakdown of what the Adistar Control 5 brings to the table for this renewed chapter.

If the enduring success of attendant models across the industry didn’t confirm it for you, let us stamp it once more: the tech runner movement is showing no signs of slowing down. The smarter brands out there are only varying their menu of kicks that fit the bill, and adidas may have just introduced its strongest one yet.
Meet the adidas adistar Cushion 5, revived from its 2008 original run and largely keeping to the original hardware it carried as a performance runner. While you might look to the brand’s fresher innovations to support actual runs, maintaining those details from its late-aughts introduction ensures all-day comfort. And yes, in our estimation, it’s a looker to boot. Of the six colorways set to release on the 15th, five focus on the neutrally shaded universe that consumers now expect of shoes of its ilk.
The “Silver Metallic/Grey One,””Core Black/Silver Metallic,” and “Cloud White/Core Black” bolster their throwback appeal with aged midsoles. For true-to-era style, the “Grey Three/Core Black” is probably the best you can find in this slate, while a “Grey Two/Core Black” utilizes two-tone blocking to create a rather inventive take on unavoidable Y2K cues. Lastly, the purple/black/orange demonstrates a radical divergence, utilizing gradient mesh and hi-vis detailing to show the aesthetic possibilities with this runner’s retro.
