At this point, adidas’ design team has become experts at blending past aesthetics and design language with modernized and even futuristic technology, and no sneaker is a better example of that then the ZX4000 4D.

Alexander Wang is no stranger to an eccentric piece with much of his adidas footwear pushing the boundaries between runway focal point and futuristic performance concept. Fusing an innate passion for the game of basketball and the bulky silhouettes that inform much of his prior releases, the NYC designer is unveiling his most imposing yet: the AW Futureshell.

Somewhat reminiscent of the Kobe 1 released way back in the early 2000s, the pair dons a metallic armored shell across its entire construction with debossed branding notes taking the place of traditional overlays.

Small icons of an upside-down trefoil add allure to the shaped molds of the upper while black notes — which more so blend in on the accompanying black colorway — depart from the shimmering silvers in complimenting note.

Giant sole units, a tongue that sports the creative’s name, and some extra logo hits finish off a set that fits seamlessly into the slots of the overarching Alexander Wang x adidas collection.

For Spring/Summer 2019, adidas by Raf Simons continues to update its now-iconic silhouette, the RS OZWEEGO.

Since joining the Three Stripes team, Raf Simons has created his own micro-fandom within an already large following, using his colorful dad shoes, bulky silhouettes, and lifestyle-meets-tech low-tops to tap into a market outside of the sometimes pretentious haute couture patrons and archival enthusiasts.

While newcomer looks continue to join the scene, the most coveted of models remains the intricate Ozweego, which is now arriving in an expansive capsule of mirror-finished TPU film. One part monochrome and another quite vibrant — showing two diverse sides of 70s glam rock — the entire set piece features six diverse colorways with the aforementioned connecting each under a maximalist theme. While their metallic bottoms add reverent notes of bold, the uppers swap between a set of whites, grays, and blacks to a contrasting assortment of blues, reds, and pinks.

The adidas OZWEEGO x Raf Simons launches at limitEDitions Barcelona on May 23rd.

Each Consortium version is inspired by iconic adidas archive running shoes and elements from adidas’ past – most noticeably in the new addition of a Torsion bar. Created by the original ZX range designer Jacques Chassaing, it provides a bridge between the rearfoot and the forefoot that increases stability and support for each section of the foot across varied terrain. Each Consortium version is also exclusive to Consortium accounts in one particular region, celebrating both the global nature of Consortium while recognising the distinct character that each region offers.

For Europe, adidas Consortium has rendered the UltraBOOST’19 in the classic white and green tones that have been 91 that led the way in nineties performance footwear. The Primeknit uppers are intertwined from shades of grey, cream and white textiles, and the TPU cage and laces are also rendered in an off-white colour. It is this ‘blank canvas’ that brings maximum impact to the sparks of green where they do appear: on the iconic three stripes motif and around the pared-back heel frame, which also traverses the clean white BOOST midsole.

The result is a range of apparel and footwear styles for the city-dweller who casts off the shackles of conventional city-life wherever and whenever possible. Blacked-out outerwear, army green tracksuits and stealthy grayscale running wear are punctuated by flashes of orange, adding high-visibility in the form of a packable jacket and base-layer tee.

The orange also appears across the three new footwear styles: as internal support on the zipped uppers of a mid-cut GSG9 interpretation; as lacing on a tech-driven new Climacool model; as a midsole on an adizero shoe otherwise rendered entirely in shades of black.

The SS19 collection is accompanied by campaign imagery that plunges the apparel and footwear into their intended environment. Shot along the trails and forests that run above the Los Angeles basin, many of the runners’ movements are captured in the dramatic glare of specially-installed floodlights, headlamps and tactical lights. All other illumination is provided by moonlight: a reminder that even on the edge of a vast urban sprawl, it is sometimes still possible to draw on the strengths of the natural world.

Dusty Peach/Atmosphere Grey

Unquestionably one of the most popular new silhouettes of 2018, Nike’s React Element 87 has continued its strong showing in 2019 with compelling new colorways, the latest of which to surface is this new “Moss” makeup. Blending multiple colors and tones in the 87’s signature style, the “Moss” presents an outdoors-style palette, with rich brown leather/suede and earthy green accents gracing its translucent TPE upper. Black Swooshes add branded flair, and sporty details are present as well, thanks to the blue laces, interspersed pops of crimson, and high-vis reflective detailing on both the lace loops and heel tab. Down below, the shaped React foam midsole is dressed in a stark white, with classic gum plugs — that match the cork insoles — providing a finishing pop of flair.
