adidas Originals Reboots the running scene with the “2000 Running” collection

Calling all sneakerheads with a soft spot for the early millennium! Brace yourselves for a wave of nostalgia as adidas Originals delves into its archives to resurrect iconic running silhouettes from the year 2000. The aptly named “2000 Running” collection”is a carefully curated blend of retro charm and modern innovation.

The collection features three distinct sneakers, each a faithful revival of a beloved style from the 2000s. First up is the all-new Ozmillen, a clear descendant of the legendary Ozweego. It captures the unmistakable aesthetic of the era with its metallic overlays, breathable mesh upper and two-tone color scheme, but injects a dose of modernity with its comfortable Adiplus cushioning system.

Next up is the Response CL, a testament to the brand’s adventurous spirit. This shoe embodies the rawness of the early 2000s with ventilated mesh segments, synthetic overlays and a bold two-tone palette. The EVA-cushioned midsole provides all-day comfort, making it perfect for casual wear and easy runs.
