On Feet Recap: The Best Of The adidas EQT On Ig
In adidas’ ‘Only the Essentials’ documentary, Creative director of the original EQT, Peter Moore, explains that the adidas Equipment line was named for its utilitarian purpose. ‘The word “Equipment” is sort of a no bullshit word. I mean, you don’t have a piece of equipment to have fun with’ said Moore, ‘you have a piece of equipment to do something with.’ But, as the line grew in popularity and streetwear embraced fashionable functionality, EQTs also became a style staple.
The Three Stripes have applied a number of changes to the line over the years but recently it was given a larger update than ever before. The ‘Turbo Red’ pack ushered in a wave of EQTs that (among numerous other tweaks) supplanted EVA Foam with Boost and Suede with Primeknit. The revamp struck a chord with sneakerheads, and we’ve seen people showing off their new Turbo Red cops all over the ‘gram. So, to celebrate the new look, we’ve compiled them in one mega-gallery. Turbo Red, OG or otherwise – these are the best on-foot shots of people having fun in their EQTs.
