Adidas Response CL retro runner in suede and mesh -- classic Adiprene cushioning plus Pro-miderotor rebound tech for a lively, old-school ride.
The Adidas Response CL digs deep into the Originals archive, pulling a late-90s performance runner back into the cultural conversation. The upper combines large-format suede panels with open-weave mesh in a colour-blocked composition that drips vintage energy without looking dusty. Suede construction provides structure and a premium tactile quality; the mesh keeps airflow moving through long wear. Underfoot, the classic Adiprene foam compound cushions heel strike with a soft, protective feel, while the addition of Pro-miderotor technology in the heel zone adds a lively rebound that propels each toe-off. The rubber outsole carries a herringbone-derived pattern for reliable grip on street surfaces. The result is a shoe that captures everything that made late-90s Adidas runners iconic while being perfectly wearable as a daily lifestyle sneaker today. FX7718.
Yes, it runs true to standard Adidas sizing. If you know your Adidas size from the Ultraboost or Samba, the Response CL will fit the same.
The overlays use a synthetic suede that accurately replicates the texture and appearance of the retail version's suede panels, with good durability.
The Response CL is inspired by Adidas archive running shoes from the 1990s, featuring chunky midsole proportions, suede overlays, and a heritage-style upper construction.
