adidas Ceiro Mid

Cieros are one those adi shoes that sit in the netherworld between lifestyle and skate, minus the exaggerated ST super-deformed takes on classic adi. With its touch of tricked-out Gazelle and the ensuing non 3-Striped Gazelle nods that the likes of Sal Barbier generated, that overlapping panel that spills onto the first stripe is a truly odd touch that works. A lot of newer models that riff off older models just flop by offering too little innovation and too many design elements that evoke old favourites - the Ciero just feels correct and the pedal-friendly aura is timely, especially when we're set to be assailed by even more bike shoes.
