Aside from a new colorway of the Superstar, we haven't seen much of adidas' groundbreaking XENO technology since its debut during NBA All-Star Weekend in February. Thus far, the Metro Attitude, Superstar, and ZX Flux silhouettes have carried XENO through the year, but now the reptilian-inspired tech is finally taking on a new form with the Pro Model.

The latest XENO sneaker is once again offered in two colorways — black and silver — and sees the retro sneaker adopt its most advanced look ever. The Pro Model, which was originally introduced as a basketball sneaker in 1965, takes on a modern twist thanks to the light responsive XENO treatment. 

Both Pro Model XENO colorways are set to launch in the U.S. on November 14 with a retail tag of $130. Check out the reflective technology in action below.
