The adidas Aruku is more than just a nod to the past; it’s a full-on nostalgia trip with a futuristic twist, ready to take you through the paces of daily life with style and comfort. Drawing on the early 2000s allure of the Adizero PR running shoe, the Aruku introduces itself as an everyday trainer that combines heritage aesthetics with modern-day innovation. It’s all about progress, not just on the track but in the way we move through life itself — and adidas invites you to “live in the speed of time.”
At the heart of Aruku’s design is the radically curved rocker midsole, built for buttery-smooth transitions with every step, from heel to toe. But don’t mistake this for just another sneaker with some cushioning slapped on. Swirlfoam, the sneaker's nitrogen-infused midsole tech, offers the kind of bounce and reinforced comfort that turns the commute into a joy ride.
Partnering with adidas, we document the creative kinship between Mandeep Chopra, founder of the legendary sneaker boutique Limited Edt, and Singaporean artist Mark Ong, a.k.a. Mr. Sabotage, as they bring a touch of their own unique style to the bold Aruku. Together, their friendship spans across decades, shaping and progressing the local and global sneaker scene, through their individual and collaborative work.
For the die-hard sneakerheads and the fashion-forward crowd alike, the Aruku isn’t just a lifestyle sneaker; it’s a piece of culture, crafted for those who walk to their own beat.
The adidas Adizero Aruku (SGD 199) is available now in two colourways - Pure Ruby and Collegiate Royal Blue - in limited quantities at selected Limited Edt stores.
