Adidas Response CL 'Grey & Rose Gold' Silver Grey Mesh Upper, Rose Gold Metallic Overlays & Heel Panel, Grey 3-Stripes, Grey Round Laces, Cream White Chunky Midsole & Black Rubber Outsole Y2K Vintage Running Lifestyle Sneakers

Adidas Response CL 'Grey & Rose Gold'

The early 2000s had an aesthetic vision that was entirely its own — and the Adidas Response CL in 'Grey & Rose Gold' captures it at its most refined. The Response CL is a runner from the era when performance footwear was at its most architecturally ambitious: thick midsoles, multi-panel mesh uppers, sculpted overlays, and a silhouette that sat between sport and fashion before that territory had a name. In this grey-and-rose-gold edition, the shoe’s Y2K-era engineering is given the material treatment it always deserved. The silver grey engineered mesh upper provides the technical base — lightweight, breathable, and visually complex in its honeycomb texture. The rose gold metallic overlays sweep across the side panels and heel in warm, luminous bronze that catches the light with every step, turning the shoe’s structural lines into something genuinely beautiful. The cream white chunky midsole beneath completes a colour story that is simultaneously nostalgic and entirely contemporary: grey, rose gold, and cream — the palette of a moment the rest of the world is only now catching up to.

• Colorway: Silver Grey / Rose Gold (Bronze / Copper) / Cream White / Black
• Silhouette: Adidas Response CL — a heritage running silhouette from the early 2000s adidas performance archive, characterised by its chunky midsole platform, multi-panel mesh and synthetic overlay construction, sculpted side panelling, and the low-profile lacing system with the distinctive runner’s tongue construction; the CL designation marks this as a cleaned-up, lifestyle-oriented reissue of the original performance model, optimised for everyday wear while preserving the complete aesthetic identity of the early-2000s original
• Upper: Silver grey engineered mesh upper — a fine, honeycomb-textured silver grey mesh that forms the primary upper panel across the toe box, vamp, and quarter, providing lightweight breathability and a complex, visually layered surface that shifts between flat grey and silvery tones depending on light; rose gold metallic synthetic overlays — the defining material element of this colorway; warm rose gold / bronze metallic synthetic leather overlays that cover the structural side panels flanking the 3-Stripes, the toe cap surround, the lateral mudguard area, and the heel counter, creating a sweeping, sculptural metallic accent that traces the shoe’s performance-derived panel architecture in warm, luminous bronze; grey tonal 3-Stripes — the iconic adidas heritage stripe in a grey tone that sits close to the mesh base, creating a subtle, tonal stripe effect that allows the rose gold overlays to dominate the visual hierarchy; grey round laces for a clean, tonal upper finish
• Signature Details: Rose gold metallic heel counter panel — the rear heel is covered in the same warm rose gold metallic material as the side overlays, completing the metallic accent story at the rear of the shoe and housing the adidas branding in a metallic finish; cream white chunky midsole platform — a thick, substantial cream white midsole with a slightly aged, off-white tone that gives the shoe its distinctive Y2K-era platform height and vintage character; the cream midsole provides a warm, neutral base beneath the grey and rose gold upper, grounding the metallic tones in an earthy, vintage-natural finish; black rubber outsole that provides grip and durability
• Branding: adidas branding on the heel counter in metallic finish; adidas wordmark on the tongue; adidas Originals branding on the insole; grey 3-Stripes throughout
• Midsole: Cream white chunky EVA midsole — a substantial, thick-soled platform midsole in cream white with the slightly yellowed, aged character of vintage running shoe construction; the platform height and cream white colour are the defining silhouette elements of the Response CL’s Y2K heritage aesthetic
• Outsole: Black rubber outsole with multi-directional running traction pattern — a clean black rubber outsole that provides grip and durability for everyday lifestyle use while completing the shoe’s dark-base colour construction beneath the cream midsole
