When Adidas first released the Iniki Runner back in March, we’ll admit that we weren’t too impressed with the silhouette’s initial rollout of colourways — the red and blue were passable, we guess, but mint green and purple aren’t exactly colours that you should be building a new sneaker’s foundation on. Since then, more accessible shades like the “Pride of the 70s” and “Haze Coral” have been a step in the right direction, but we think that the brand with the three stripes has really hit the nail on the head with their upcoming collection.
Featuring a whopping four new colourways, the sneakers might be rather run-of-the-mill by today’s standards, but are an essential addition nonetheless. Considering how hype pink sneakers have become in recent months, the millennial pink iteration is without a doubt going to be the most popular of the bunch, but we’re personally more excited about the long-overdue black, whose timeless black / white / gum combination is something we’ve been clamouring for since the Iniki was first unveiled. The remaining two colourways that round out the collection aren’t anything to scoff at, either — there’s an adorable baby blue for those looking for something a little more pastel, while the dark green provides an equally-stylish alternative that offers a much more subtle look.
While Adidas hasn’t announced an exact release date, rumours suggest that these four new Iniki Runners will hit store shelves sometime in June, which means that we might not have to wait too long to get our hands on them. The Iniki Runner hasn’t exactly taken off the way we first expected them to, but the arrival of these timeless colourways might be just what the silhouette needs to become the next big Adidas sneaker…either way, we’re definitely going to be copping a pair of the black / white for ourselves.
