The colourway&#8217;s combination of Solar Green and Solar Yellow provides a blinding contrast with the Core Black of the brand&#8217;s three stripes on the forefoot, making the boot a head-turner immediately out of the bag. Exposed carbon and carbon fibre elements wrap up the design by adding additional textures and depth.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it&#8217;s an interesting new shoe with a completely off-beat marketing collaboration. What&#8217;s there to dislike? The X SPEEDPORTAL boot has launched on the adidas webstore and select retailers for US$250.<\/p>\n<p>In other sneaker-related news, check out another interesting adidas collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/07\/19\/release-21-jul-celebrating-wood-woods-20th-anniversary-wood-wood-x-adidas-forum-low-pack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danish label WOOD WOOD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snkrdunk_int\/\" data-nodal=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1909\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/13093405\/global_ig_banner.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/13093405\/global_ig_banner.png 970w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/13093405\/global_ig_banner-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/13093405\/global_ig_banner-768x317.png 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/13093405\/global_ig_banner-282x116.png 282w\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"400\"><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">The SNKRDUNK app is available now and we offer worldwide shipping! <a href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/o95b9rl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download now<\/a>, or check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/\" data-nodal=\"\">website<\/a> today.
