The women's adidas Adistar Control 5 is back - and the Core Black colourway is the most quietly confident way to wear one of 2026's most genuinely compelling retro running reissues. First released in 2008 as the culmination of years of stability-focused running shoe development, the Adistar Control 5 was built with a widened forefoot, breathable mesh, and a sculpted midsole packed with AdiPRENE+ cushioning for runners who logged serious miles. Now repositioned for city life, the double-layered two-tone open mesh upper arrives in black with Iron Metallic and Grey Six overlays that add chrome-finished depth to the construction without departing from the dark, understated base. The EVA midsole with Formotion heel unit provides cushioned support underfoot, a 3D Torsion system in the arch keeps the transition smooth, and a rubber outsole delivers reliable grip across urban surfaces. Arriving in Core Black with Grey Six and Iron Metallic, this is a women's adidas Originals retro running shoe that earns its 2026 moment through substance as much as style.
