The Adidas Response CL Returns as a Trail Shoe

Adidas is revamping its footwear lineup with a trail-ready version of the recently resurgent Response CL. This model has gained traction with help from high-profile collaborations, including those with Bad Bunny. The new Response CL Trail adaptation signals a serious leap from street style to rugged functionality, gearing up for outdoor enthusiasts.

This new iteration retains the characteristic geometric midsole of its predecessor but introduces a rippled outsole designed for enhanced grip and durability on uneven terrain. The upper transitions to a robust CORDURA ballistic fabric, reinforcing the shoe’s readiness for challenging conditions while maintaining its aesthetic roots.

The debut collection features two distinct colorways: the earthy "Beef and Broccoli" blend of brown and green, a nod to classic outdoor gear, and a sleek all-black version accented with subtle 3M reflective details for visibility. Initially launched in select Asian markets, these trail-focused sneakers are poised for a forthcoming release in the United States, though specifics are yet to be announced.
