Our take on the adidas Adistar Control 5 Casual Shoes

The Adistar Control 5 is a retro-style running shoe that adidas has brought back as a casual sneaker. It pairs a textile and synthetic upper with an EVA midsole and a cork insole, so it looks like a 2000s trainer but feels softer underfoot than a stiff vintage shoe. The rubber outsole and laced build make it a durable everyday option. It suits people who want a chunky, technical-looking sneaker for walking and casual wear rather than serious running. Against modern cushioned trainers it is firmer and heavier, but it stands out for its archival look and cork footbed.
