The newest evolution of adidas performance design continues to blur the lines between performance footwear and industrial art pieces. The understated, technical aesthetic is purposeful rather than gaudy. Straddling that line, the adidas Climacool “Grey Carbon” lands right where the brand has been trending: clean, breathable, and refreshingly modern.

A single latticework upper wraps the foot in multidimensional lines that mimic being sculpted in 3D. Ventilation gets shoutouts from open grid windows exposing the forefoot and midfoot. The Grey/Carbon color scheme keeps everything tonal and sharp. Three Chalk White stripes run laterally down both sides with just enough texture to feel built in.

The low-cut collar and black heel pull tab give the silhouette a sleek, sock-like profile. The lacing system sits inside molded eyelets that blend into the woven frame. Underfoot, the outsole repeats the same crisscross grid pattern, reinforcing a single, continuous structure.

There’s a subtle refinement here. adidas isn’t just chasing airflow anymore. It’s making ventilation the visual identity of the shoe.

The adidas Climacool “Grey Carbon” releases March 3, 2026 on adidas.com and select retailers for $150.
