adidas Consortium 'Classic Runners' Torsion Sp Low

For the new year, adidas's Consortium programme has ditched the partners to go it alone for a minute, and the end results seem perfectly pitched at our taste in shoes. You can't mess with the beauty of the early Torsion models, and the SP is an office favourite. Specials in particular, given the slushfest state of the nation's capital, feel very, very right. The rugged 1990 masterpiece takes colourway cues from classic adidas runners, feeling like a fey, slightly more sensitive compatriot to the teal, yellow, purple and grey banger from last season - the nubuck and lack of GORE-TEX is open to destruction in filthy weather conditions, but that spot of magenta, and the orange-gold with extra ripstop for good measure makes them a perfect addition to the rich lineage this model's maintained over the years. We've got Special needs in that we require these on our feet when the weather makes up its damn mind.
