Remember when we said way back in January that the Adidas EQT was going to be one of the biggest sneakers of 2017? Yeah, well…that statement hasn’t exactly held up — despite being equipped with both Primeknit and Boost (AKA the holy grail of sneakers), the resurrected silhouette has only managed to generate a decent amount of hype among die-hard sneakerheads, and has received a rather lukewarm reaction from the rest of the community. If there’s one thing that can people on board, however, it’s the colour pink, and this new “Glitch Camo” colourway just might be what the the EQT needs to take itself to the next level.
Though we only have a single picture of the sneaker right now, there are a few things that we can already confirm — the kicks will once again be equipped with Primeknit and Boost, and the back panel and sole will rock a timeless black to contrast the pink that runs through the entire upper. Of course, the star of the show is undoubtedly the eponymous “Glitch Camo” effect on the front of the shoe, which features a messy mix of black and pink for an unique and eye-catching look. We’ve seen a similar effect on last month’s “Shock Pink” NMD’s, so this could potentially be one of the next big looks in Adidas’ design arsenal.
There’s currently no word on when the EQT Support “Glitch Camo” will be released, but considering that images are already starting to surface we can probably expect to see it hit store shelves in the comings months (or even weeks, if we’re lucky). Will this colourway raise EQT up to NMD standards of hype? Probably not, but it might be enough for people to start taking actual notice of the silhouette.
