Even though the adidas Adizero Goukana was only introduced this summer, it's already become pretty popular among Three Stripes fans all over the globe. Why? Well, not only does it look great, it's also got an awesome backstory, too.
If you feel like you've seen the Adizero Goukana somewhere before, that's because... you probably have. Drawing inspiration from the 2008 Adios Neftenga prototype (a model that was recently brought back through a Wales Bonner collab), this silhouette takes everything that we love about the Neftenga and beefs it up, resulting in a chunky design that wouldn't look amiss in a Y2K sneaker catalog.
