The Tubular was aided by basically any material combination you can think of. Perhaps the most popular of the group was the adidas flashback shoes outfit Primeknit, back today with a classic gum sole on the heel that shares a 50/50 split with a more traditional login on the toe. The signature ‘X’ overlay is replaced here with a contrasting Primeknit color in Crystal login or Trace Blue.
