Who should buy the Adidas Adimatic

These are also great for people looking for shoes they can wear every day since they provide a lot of comfort and support. If you are into streetwear, these fit that whole aesthetic and will be a great addition to your rotation.

Do not get these if you have sweaty feet and want something breathable. Instead, you might wanna check out the Adidas ZX700 All White. If that’s not a problem for you but you want a consistent adidas superstar og white eS Accel OG.

A design that transcends generations

It may have been decades since the original release of the Adidas Adimatic, but sneakerheads, both oldheads and younger ones, still dig the classic look of this silhouette. Some are particularly impressed by how the shoe reminds them of their childhood, while others love how it looks and how it gives off “90s skater vibes.” 

One fan even described the Adimatic as an “absolutely classic sneaker,” and that it’s the “best time to bring them back”, especially with the resurgence of Y2K fashion and bulky shoes.

From the toe box, to the Adidas Collar-stripe logos on the sides, up to the heel, the entire upper of the shoe is covered with supple leather - and experts are all for it. “Feels like a thick cut of suede,” said one expert, while another pointed out that the suede on the upper ”is pretty nice throughout the entire thing.” Definitely, this is one great suede sneaker from Adidas.

Many sneakerheads love the cushion provided by the Adidas Adimatic. The thin insole paired with the “very very substantial” midsole allows this sneaker to be “super cushy.” One expert even believes that he “would probably be able to wear it for a full workday and still be fine.” 

From the outside, the midsole also features what an expert describes as “the most attention-grabbing detail” of the shoe - the teeth on the front. Truly enough, this design choice polarized the fan base since comments ranged from “pretty sick” to “the shark teeth at the front made these corny.” 

The Adimatic’s puffy tongue is a plus

The Adidas Adimatic’s tongue has an “incredible amount of padding” on it, which makes it comparable to that of the Nike SB Dunks, according to an expert. This adds another layer of comfort to the shoe, as pointed out by another expert, who then goes on to describe it as something that “feels right.”

Experts loved the overall traction of this sneaker. “The outsole has such a crazy amount of stick to it,” exclaimed one. Another liked the outsole’s “pretty unique design” compared to most skateboarding shoes nowadays, which, according to him, look “kind of repurposed basketball shoes.”

However, one expert who tested it for skateboarding pointed out that the grip on the side, even though it has extra gritting, “doesn’t really help much”, especially when it came to kickflips and ollies.

Those who have a pair of the Adidas Adimatic have varying recommendations regarding the sizing. Some say the shoe runs true to size, while others say to go up either half or a full size for better allowance. To see what works for you, it is still best to test these on foot before securing a pair, but if that’s not possible, going true to size might be the safest route.

The thick materials used all over this sneaker make it very durable. It was commended for its "thrashability", top-notch materials, and even the triple stitch on its mudguard that, according to one sneakerhead, makes sure “it stays together for as long as possible.” To sum it up perfectly, here’s a quote from one fan: “these beef patties look like they could do 1000 kickflips!”

Great for skating

Sneakerheads also had a lot of good things to say regarding the Adimatic’s compatibility with skateboarding. “First time in a while I've seen a sneaker properly designed for skateboarders,” one fan said while talking about the sole and the side rubber. 

Another fan commented that the shoe has “Nike emphasis on skater protection than on design and elegance” - a comment backed by an expert, as he described the Adimatic as “very cushiony and very protective” when talking about its impact performance.
