Debuted back in September through a two-piece collab with Nigo’s HUMAN MADE, the heritage-inspired adidas Tokio Solar has since been removed from the conversation. Follow-up releases have been non-existent, which is not the norm for the unveiling of a new silhouette. Take the New Balance 327, for example, which unloaded an onslaught of GR releases mere weeks after its debut Casablanca drop — and to great success, at that. For the Tokio, though, it’s been eerily quiet. Nada. Zip. Nothing since. Perhaps due to COVID — or perhaps a bizarre strategy – its second round of releases is still yet to occur, though we may now have some insight on to what’s coming next. Official images of the Pharrell x adidas Tokio Solar Hu have just dropped, indicating that Skateboard P is on deck for the silhouette’s next release.

The new design not only arrives with a sleeker profile than the original Tokyo, but there’s also a myriad of noticeable changes. Torsion-loaded BOOST cushioning replaces the retro EVA wedge, while an overall overhaul of the profile shape, shortened collar, and rear rise. And then, of course, there’s the epic use of color; a Human Race signature move. Uppers of mint green are met with classic white crinkle-cut leather overlays at the midfoot and heel, while a neutral light tan caps the tongue and eyestays. Navy suedes at the toe and heel are the last classic touches before pops of pastels punch in at the collar (green), midsole plate (pink), BOOST (orange), and outsole (aqua blue). Pharrell’s signature Human Race insignia stamped on the heel for the pair’s only external branding, and the release is tied off with the standard Human Race graphic insole. The release will also arrive alongside a matching pair of Chancletas Hu Slides.

The Pharrell x adidas Tokio Solar Hu is tipped to land on December 19th at select adidas stockists and adidas.com for $180, with the accompanying slides set for $100.
