Description
The adidas Daily 4.0 is a skate-inspired casual sneaker with a low profile and simple three-stripe styling. It is designed as an easy everyday shoe for school, errands and weekends rather than for sport.
First look: the adidas Daily 4.0
adidas positions the Daily line as lifestyle sneakers with a canvas or suede-look upper, a cushioned sockliner and a rubber outsole, in several colourways. The 4.0 update keeps the classic skate silhouette.
Know before ordering: limited support
Check sizing and material, and choose darker colours to hide scuffs.
Real-world uses for the adidas Daily 4.0
Wear it to class, on casual workdays, on travel days, for skate-park visits with friends, or with shorts and jeans in summer.
It is not a technical skate shoe, so heavy skateboarding will wear it quickly. Canvas uppers can stain; spot-clean rather than machine wash. The flat sole offers limited arch support for long walks. Its low weight also makes it a good travel shoe that packs flat into a suitcase, and plain colourways like black or white match almost every casual outfit. Adding a cushioned insole is a cheap way to improve comfort for longer days on your feet, and a spare pair of laces keeps them looking sharp.
