Mylar Blanket or Eighties Fashion Cover?!

Famous for the city of Boston’s annual marathon, Concepts joins forces with Adidas ZX 9000 to create the sneaker version of marathon runner mylar blankets. After long-distance running, participants are usually provided with mylar blankets to recover and keep warm. Hikers, athletes, and even astronauts use the heat-trapping foil blankets to maintain a healthy body temperature. But in the world of fashion, we see them as metallic eighties icons! Just like puffy sleeves and chunky jewelry were IN at the time, so was the shiny disco ball! And this Adidas collaboration is bringing it back to safety in 2020.

This Concepts Adidas collaboration features a metallic foil upper with a crinkled appeal. As a nod to the physical state of actual mylar blankets that inspire this design. Sail suede overlays add a touch of class to this aluminum foot foil. And the Three Stripes mark their efforts with navy, white, and red stripes on the side panels.
