Nike’s latest take on the Bruce Kilgore-designed classic is exactly that, consisting of only two tones. White neutrals, as is typical of the silhouette, are used predominantly throughout the construction, dressing the entire base as well as the midsole, lining, and lace unit. This base is accompanied by subtly-flecked midsoles and nylon tongues, which, in their gentle variance, provide a hint of texture and depth reminiscent of the uneven surfaces of adobe structures.
However, the choice of burgundy red truly defines the “Adobe” theme. the shoe focuses on a singular, potent shade of burgundy. This rich tone, presented in suede, graces the midfoot Swoosh and heel overlay, infusing the shoe with warmth and opulence. Color-matched rubber outsoles mirror the deep burgundy to round off the design, encapsulating the shoe’s elegance.
