Adidas Mens Shoes Casual Shoes Grey Two/Signal Cyan/Glow Pink Synthetic & Rubber The first adidas nite joggers, released in 1979, were designed to offer runners a shoe that offered greater visibility in the dark so they could be safer at sunset and dawn. Adidas did this using reflective material on the 3 stripes and back. In addition to reflectors, the shoes also supported runners being lightweight and offered a studded sole for extra support and grip.
