The German sportswear brand took to Twitter yesterday to share the first look at the new AdiFOM Q model, which is scheduled to hit stores before year’s end.
This month, Kanye West took to social media to call out the new Adidas Adilette 22 slide as a “Fake Yeezy,” and although this new shoe may resemble the rapper’s Yeezy Foam Runner, the brand revealed the inspiration behind the design. Adidas confirmed that the new AdiFOM Q draws inspiration from the Adidas Quake sneaker that debuted in 2001.
The foam upper features wave-like patterns that run across the lateral and medial portions of the shoe. Instead of the AdiPrene+ cushioning featured on the Adidas Quake, the foam material on the AdiFOM Q’s upper is also used for the sole. The first iteration of the AdiFOM Q was presented in a predominantly gray makeup, with hits of red dressing the tongue’s Trefoil logo.
“Born in 2001. Reborn in 2022. Coming soon: the adiFOM Q takes inspiration from the crafted foam of the archival adidas Quake of 2001,” Adidas wrote for the Twitter caption.

In related Adidas news, the brand reportedly has big plans for Yeezy Day, a brand-created holiday that’s observed annually on August 2.
