adidas' Spacey Chrome Stunner Is Not from This World
adidas is living in 3036, and it has the chromed-out charm to prove it. Off the rip, the Urban Reverie 2.0 sneaker is a sleek, modern stunner.
But when you add a chromated color-way, you get a sneaker that's simultaneously ahead of its time and ridiculously on-brand.
The ultra-slim, low-profile silhouette features shiny metallic overlays, paired with white laces and a matching rubber outsole. Despite its inherent sportiness, the Urban Reverie manages to weave in some ballet-style charm with its slim disposition and graceful paneling throughout. Its spacecraft-chic meets ballet-sneaker in the best way possible.
In terms of adidas sneakers, the Urban Reverie 2.0 is the new kid on the block.
It's one of many recent summer drops from the Three Stripes that have managed to bring the heat without re-inventing the wheel. See, even though this is a new sneaker, this isn't the Urban Reverie's first rodeo.
It's just that, where previous iterations opted for straps and slip-on mechanisms, this model is taking it back to classic laces, a simple but trusted metric that brings this otherworldly shoe down to earth a bit.
Just because it looks like a spacecraft doesn't mean it's forgotten its earthbound roots.
