adidas Originals Men's I-5923 Shoe

Product Information

Side note here: The sneaker displayed in the pictures is the special leather edition pair, which differs from the usual pair in terms of material. Basically, the leather edition is ‘leather’ where it is ‘mesh’ for the normal I 5923. I have tested out both types and found that it feels more or less the same so this review is applicable for both editions. Hope that clears things!

Material wise, the mesh upper feels pretty stretchy, allowing decent toe movements within the shoe. This keeps my feet unrestricted and comfortable, even when wearing this sneaker for long hours. However, the mesh upper feels pretty thin to the feet and thus may not be as durable. As mentioned earlier, this sneaker is designed to be a running shoe even though most people have used it as a lifestyle sneaker. This is perfect if you’re on a budget and wanna make full use of the sneaker! Meeting both your lifestyle and running needs, the Adidas I 5923 is a great value for money. Mesh upper is thinner than usual and thus require careful use (this would not apply to the leather pair) What sets this sneaker apart from the OG models is the addition of Boost technology. First introduced in 2013, the Boost midsole provides soft cushioning and absorbs impact. Even though the sole is made of durable rubber, the Boost midsole gives it a slightly gummy appearance.

The classic silhouette is nearly identical to the 1970s models, featuring an upper with leather overlays and 3 serrated stripes on the side panel. While most of the uppers are made of two-way stretch mesh, some are crafted with suede. In addition, both the toe cap and the lace box are made of suede or synthetic suede. Branding details include the adidas logo printed across the tongue. The adidas Iniki Runner Collegiate Navy is one of the inaugural colorways and exemplifies the Iniki’s retro appeal. It features Collegiate Navy with accents of Running White on the heel and side stripes. Released in 2017, adidas Iniki is a nostalgic line of running shoes that emulates the OG adidas runner designs from the 1970s and 1980s, while incorporating new technology. Shortly after launch, adidas was forced to change the name from adidas Iniki to I-5923 due to a lawsuit filed against the company. For this reason, some of the sneakers feature ‘INIKI,’ while others have ‘I-5923’ stamped beside the side stripes. Despite the name change, the sneaker lineup remained popular due to its retro design and comfortable fit.

An idea inspired by vintage styles of the 70s, Adidas cleverly added BOOST technology to make the Adidas I 5923 what it is today. In fact, this came at the best time possible when BOOST sneakers were getting all the attention, which explains it’s popularity. Hey beautiful people what’s up!
