Sometimes, one has to take a stroll down memory lane to gain inspiration for a winning design. Consider Adidas, and the times it has brought back to life classics that just need a little tuning up. Granted, this is not exclusive to the German brand, but it cannot be denied that it does a great job in reintroducing old sneakers and configuring them to become more of the times. The EQT Support 93/17 was inspired by Adidas’ line of running shoes back in the 1990s, the Equipment, and was made available to consumers in 2017.

The EQT Support 93/17 Turbo is just one of the current silhouettes available in the Equipment line, but it is perhaps the most special and high functioning of all. The shoes that give futuristic vibes are the only ones with Boost cushioning, adding to the Primeknit feature. These are quick sellers, beginning with the Turbo colorway. New ones were introduced since then, although they were kept within a few thousand pairs.
Pros
You know you’ve got a winner when you have both a head turner and a pillow-like shoe in one. The stylish pairs come in many options so you can choose a colorway that speaks more to your tastes, and your shoes can be on point without sacrificing comfort. Like many current Adidas shoes, the EQT Support 93/17 takes advantage of the Boost technology to keep your feet happy and pain-free even when you have to wear your shoes all day long. It’s not just that—Adidas gives the pairs a generous amount of thickness for the soles. The arches of the foot are provided with ample support and the heel collar allows for ease when putting the shoes on. You can rely on them to keep your feet company for a long time, especially with the outsole that is noted for its durability. This heavyweight of a shoe won’t weight down your feet, surprisingly, and that is, of course, a welcome addition.
Cons
Of Adidas’ many offerings, the EQT Support 93/17 Turbos are on the slightly more expensive side of the spectrum, with prices starting at US$180. Feature-wise, some find the shoes to be too narrow; for those blessed with wide feet, a half size larger is ideal. The insole which cannot be removed may be a consideration for buyers. The outsoles lack in grip power on wet surfaces too, and is an aspect that be can be further improved.
