The Adidas Camo windbreaker is a full-zip windbreaker made from 100% polyester taffeta. It features a hood with drawcord-adjustment, side pockets with snap-button closure, elastic cuffs, and a drawcord on the hem. It comes in Adidas’ own ‘Multicolor’, which has more than a passing resemblance to Flecktarn, for those of you who are into German camouflage.

And, we must wonder if this move isn’t somehow connected to the unresolved royalty situation with the US Army. Crye Precision has not responded to requests for comment, however considering this is an ongoing legal dispute we would be surprised to hear from them.
Adidas has introduced a new in-house Camo pattern for their Pure Boost shoe. Adidas has been doing quite a bit of Camo this season with a MultiCamesque shoe earlier this year along with a ladies jacket in a fractal pattern. This Pure Boost pattern offers woodland and urban colorways.
