7) Tubular

The Tubular is inspired by the Adidas running line from the ‘90s. It’s called the “Tubular” because of it’s outsole design, which is modeled after inner tire tubes. For the new Tubular, Nic Galway used two different densities of EVA foam for cushioning. According to Galway, the new Tubular is all about the silhouette, and the simplicity of it. It wasn’t just about all the lines and detail itself,  but more about the form of the shoe.
