The future of footwear is now the present, and there's no better way to usher in 2020 than with a rumored look at Nike Basketball's next auto-lacing performance sneaker, the Adapt BB 2.
Leaked shots give us a detailed view of the new silhouette, which carries forth quite a few of its predecessor's design language and mixes in some new elements. A blend of materials, including open-hole mesh appear on the upper, along with gloss-finished hardware along the light indicator panel and heel. Detailing along the midsole confirms the addition of forefoot Zoom Turbo cushioning, which is highlighted in bright red.
As of now, a release date for the Adapt BB 2 hasn't been announced, but the information could come down soon. The original Adapt BB was introduced last January and launched in February—the sequel could very well follow the same timeline. Stick with Sole Collector for updates moving forward.

The Nike Adapt 2.0 will release exclusively in Chicago on Feb. 13 for the NBA All-Star Weekend followed by a global release on Feb. 16.
