The Sobakov 'Alphatype' was introduced in November 2018, as part of a notable footwear collection that united adidas' notable silhouettes from earlier in the year. Just like its companion styles, the Sobakov flaunts an elegant all-black design highlighted by a distinctive tongue tag and a prominent adidas logo on the side heel. These eye-catching features are further enhanced by the shoe's iconic swerving Three-Stripes, which partially conceal the aforementioned branding.
