What You Need to Know: Adidas has linked up with notable Los Angeles streetwear brand, Undefeated, to drop a 19-piece capsule inspired by tactical uniforms. Included in the offering will be three sneakers. The first is a black version of the Ultra Boost with large, white Undefeated branding on the midfoot. The other two pairs are the adiZero Adios 3 performance model. One is covered in a tan camo pattern and white Undefeated branding, while the other opts for a clean, black upper with tan Three Stripes.
