This handsome casual shoe has six colors to choose from, I believe I will pick the pair I like.
It turns out that the adidas Raf Simons Samba Stan we showed you yesterday, is actually a part of a large pack that make up the latest Raf Simons x adidas Collection. The latest Raf Simons x adidas collab combines past, present, and future to create a new footwear range inspired by the painting technique of trompe-l’oeil, French for “deceive the eye.”
Simons curated five styles from the adidas Originals archive: the Micropacer (released 1984-88), the LA Trainer (1979-80), the Torsion Conquest Super (1990-92), the Samba (1962-67), and the Peachtree (1985). Each model was photographed and 3-D modeled to fit the RS Stan Smith and the RS Adilette, two of the adidas by Raf Simons collaboration’s most essential styles. What you end up getting is footwear that maintains details of the vintage shoes on the uppers, including stains, exposed glue, and other general wear – transporting authentic elements of the past into the now.
The collection enables the pollination of styles across product categories, like the transference of technical runners, such as the Micropacer, to tennis shoes, like the Stan Smith. While the Peachtree originally only available in women’s sizes, is now available for men as well, becoming the unisex RS Peach Stan and the RS Peach Adilette.
Below you will find more images of each upcoming drop as well as release info and pricing (if available).
