Over the last two years, adidas has been building up their new Sportswear division, which pulls inspiration from performance shoes for lifestyle wear. This year, they have a number of new models on the way, including this XLG Metawave.
adidas is taking steps in the direction of a more fashion-minded approach to their sneakers offerings, after releasing a few high-profile collaborations with big name labels. This is largely the focus of their Sportswear team, which takes inspiration from their performance teams and translates it into lifestyle models. This week, one of their new silhouettes for 2025 has emerged; the XLG Metawave.
The new XLG Metawave from adidas looks like something from Balenciaga and their eccentric footwear designs. The shoe’s construction is comprised of layers of mesh, synthetics, and molded plastic pieces, with striped pieces that give it the appearance of being in motion. Midsoles feature LightStrike technology, with a very prominent heel section that protrudes a good amount from the back. Already, a handful of colors for the new model have surfaced and can be seen below.
