The adidas Megaride AG “Core Black / Putty Grey” brings early-2000s performance aesthetics back into focus with a darker, more technical edge. Built around the Megaride’s signature tubular cushioning system, this pair leans fully into adidas’ Y2K archive — futuristic, functional, and unapologetically bold. The upper comes dressed in Core Black, layered with Putty Grey accents that break up the silhouette without stealing attention, giving the shoe a clean but mechanical look.

Mesh and synthetic panels keep things lightweight and breathable, while the sculpted lines and aggressive shape make it feel fast even at rest. Underfoot, the Megaride sole does what it’s known for: visible tech, firm-but-responsive cushioning, and a distinct visual identity that separates it from standard lifestyle runners. Overall, this colorway feels restrained compared to brighter Megaride releases, making it easier to wear day to day while still carrying that unmistakable tech-runner attitude. A solid pick for anyone into archival adidas with presence.
