The adidas Response CL ‘Brown Black’ is a trendy lifestyle runner that takes inspiration from the running technology of the 2000s. The upper is made from dark brown nubuck, drawing cues from the Response Cushion model released in 2003. The midsole is solid black and incorporates performance features like Adiprene, Formotion, and Promoderator, which were originally seen in the Response Control 7 from 2007. To ensure stability, the shoe is equipped with adidas' Torsion system in the rubber outsole. This tonal colorway presents a retro look with contemporary running technology.
