Here are the featured items of this collection! Superstar 80s x SNS” pays homage to a model featured by Taro Okamoto
The most notable item in the collection, ” Superstar 80s x SNS,” is designed based on adidas Originals’ classic Superstar model. The upper design is unique in that the collection’s signature velcro patchwork of two types of flowers can be attached or detached depending on one’s mood. This unique specification pays homage to a previous adidas Originals model featuring Taro Okamoto, which was released under the adicolor project by Kuraishi and adidas. The adi-color project released a model more than 10 years ago that featured a Velcro upper to which Taro Okamoto’s work in patch form could be freely affixed. This model is a must-see for adidas fans, and by setting the graphics used throughout the collection on the upper, a total coordination including outerwear and tops can be established.
Price: ¥16,000 (excluding tax)
Eric Fagarindo, founder of Sneakersnstuff, commented, “Recently, I feel that there are many Velcro-type sneakers being released. Every time I see them, I think of the items created by Kuraishi. I also wanted to pay homage to Taro Okamoto in celebration of the Superstar’s 50th anniversary. I am honored to work with the legend that is Mr. Kuraishi to create this model and sustainable collection that pays homage to Taro Okamoto.” said Kuraishi.
