Footwear: adidas by Raf Simons S/S 16 Collection @adidasoriginals
The adidas by Raf Simons collaboration is officially set to continue for spring and summer 2016 of next year.
Once again the Raf Simons Stan Smith is decorated with the perforated ‘R’, a mark that has quickly achieved icon status. Besides the classic white, it will also come in the two eye-catching colourways of light cooper and silver. They are also introduced in shades of blush yellow and ash pink, as well as version in night marine. For the Stan Smith Aged, elegant leathers were given a vintage beat up treatment, in all over black and white.
Other sneakers in the collection include the Ozweego 2, which takes a futuristic approach in a layered upper with a running-inspired profile and transparent silicone windows. It is offered in tones of khaki and deep green, completed by one model in black, blue and brown tones.
Visually inventive and riotously colourful, the Response Trail 2 is updated in white/green or red/blue and comes with two TPU heel spoilers for different looks.
A new silhouette, the adidas by Raf Simons Stan Smith Strap, is also being introduced. The sneaker features a buckle strap and serve as a nod to the Velcro straps that were made popular in the 1980’s.
$455-$730.
The footwear range will be available mid-February 2016. Available at the adidas concept stores in Paris No42 and Berlin No74, as well as select boutiques around the world.
