About this deal

Those first 500 were recieved well, and just a year later the Tubular line launched, utilising all of the tech the Radical prototypes had pioneered. The Tubular 2 came with an external pump that could be attached to a valve on the side of the shoe. It was offered as the lightweight option, without the inbuilt mechanics, but only had two adjustable air bags in the heel and a forefoot that was cushioned with EVA foam. On the bulkier side of things the Tubular 4 had an integrated pump on the side and four separate air chambers, clearly based off the beta version of the previous year. You don't have permission to access "http://www.asos.com/adidas-originals/adidas-originals-tubular-doom-primeknit-trainers/prd/6207641" on this server. The second gen Tubular range now makes up a huge portion of the adidas Originals offering, with a wide variety of styles, as well as multiple variations of the tube-shaped EVA sole. Not every forgotten shoe design gets a second chance at life, but some are too good to pass by. You just have to wait a little while for the world to catch up.

Before long, all except for a few crusty old sneakerheads had forgot the tyre-inspired shoe. But all was not lost, two decades after its disappearance designer Nic Galway was wandering the archives at Three Stripe central when he happened upon the OG Radical. He’d been dreaming of ways to use the brand’s heritage to take customers on a new journey and the old runners were just the thing. It wasn’t so much the technical features that got him thinking, but more the concept that the designers had been working with – the prototypes and the thought processes they illustrated. The Tubular line made its triumphant return in 2014, equipped with new EVA foam sole. The design process had focussed on the overall form of the shoe, with materials chosen to fit the sculpted last and contribute to a dynamic look. The first design featured an upper based on the popular ZX range, which allowed an introduction of new ideas to be accessible via familiarity. Despite the ZX connection, it was the bulbous sole that really captured the public’s eye.
