Futurising (if there was ever a term) seems to be the direction that Adidas is taking with its lifestyle models as of now. The Futurepacer was the testbed for this experimentation, and after much back and forths, the Three Stripes hace decided to resurrect two archive models, just not quite in the way you’d imagine it to be.
Welcome to the Ozweego and LXCON, the latter which you’ve seen before, circulating the news in bright, pastel colours, familiarising the market with anyone who’s in the niche for a retro sneaker brought to the present. And it’s a similar case with the Ozweego, of which the inspiration comes from the original Ozweego 3 from 1998.
Not to be confused with the Raf Simons derived version after the turn of the millennium, this is a new model built from the ground up, reminding wearers of its origins through the use of alternate adidas tech such as the adiPrene. Much like the LXCON, the silhouette uses mesh throughout the upper, held in place with suede eyestays, neoprene heel tab, and a translucent support tube to hold it all together.
Overall, it’s a simple shoe that serves as a daily driver to whatever outfit you throw at it. The Ozweego and LXCON both retail for RM 580 and is available now at adidas Online tomorrow on the 8th of August (Thursday) for the Ozweego and available now for the LXCON.
