For the Spring/Summer 2014 season, the breakthrough technology of adidas once again combines with the unique vision of designer Raf Simons to produce a range of innovative, unisex footwear. The collection will arrive in select US retailers shortly.
With this follow-up to their first, highly sought-after A/W 2013 collaboration, Simons and adidas build off the unique design codes they’ve established, such as the “shoe-in-shoe” concept, while unveiling new styles to create greater variance and depth.
Exciting additions to the collection include a remix of the Stan Smith tennis shoe and an adidas Bounce-inspired trainer with uppers printed in a seasonal pattern matching the Raf Simons apparel. Based on each shoe’s individual tooling and design, both Performance and Originals logos may be featured, while some models boast the iconic three-stripe motif.
The resulting collection includes eight unisex models in up to 4 colorways for a total of over 20 unique designs. Each draws on a playful, comic-book aesthetic, incorporating exaggerated shapes and Lego colors.
Retail prices range from $440-$570. Arriving soon in the coming weeks, the collection will be available at adidas Originals concept stores, boutiques and retailers carrying RAF, and select sneaker specialists around the globe.
