Editor’s Notes: Released shortly after the FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia, adidas' latest soccer-inspired silhouette, the Sobakov, is now available in black and white colorways.

The sneaker's imposing midsole immediately brings to mind the KAMANDA, another of the brand's newer releases, which was notably reworked by C.P. Company back in February. The wrap-around Three Stripes branding, meanwhile, is reminiscent of the beloved Predator Precision football cleat, which enjoyed a successful re-release last summer.
