It’s now apparent that adidas’ link-up with Japanese artist Hiroko Takahashi on two adidas Ultra BOOST SUMMER.RDY releases won’t be arriving alone, with six more collaborative releases dropping in alongside the previously-previewed duo. Takahashi’s HIROCOLEDGE — notably known for its mesmerizing circular patterns — joins forces on two Three Stripe icons in the Superstar and Stan Smith, and the ever-comfortable adilette slide, for six releases in total. Each silhouette offers two color options of black and white, white and black, and one coral and white slide.
For the Superstar, Hiroko has opted to keep construction clean premium, with buttery smooth leather uppers and ultra-soft leather liners elevating the pair into the upper class. Uppers arrive in both black and white options, each decorated with the opposing solar throughout the branding. Underfoot, though, is where things get a little inventive. Sole units and shell toes adorn the artist’s famed graphic — as does the insoles — but it’s the translucent outsole that reveals the same pattern print beneath that really ups the ante on the release.
Although the Stan Smith arrives with a similar luxe aesthetic, it does things a little differently. Gone are the graphic print sole units, instead favoring a tonal circular texture across the buttery leather uppers, toe box and tongue. Again, these options arrive in both black and white. The two adilette slides remain relatively simple, with the pair’s base engulfed in the thematic print — a finish that is also applied to the insoles of the aforementioned four pairs.
A release date for the entire HIROCOLEDGE x adidas collection is still yet to be unveiled, but we are expecting all pairs to arrive over the course of the Summer.
