adidas x Raf Simons SS18

A sporting step forward

Stan Smith

Since 2013, Raf Simons has been artfully blurring the boundaries between fashion and sportswear design with the help of sneaker stalwarts adidas. Offering a distinctive take on both new and storied footwear silhouettes, the latest offering from this collaborative outfit arrives at UrlfreezeShops for SS18.

Within this stellar, cult status line-up, the avant-garde rules supreme. Sure to be the talking point of any ensemble, these footwear favourites are not to be missed.

Innovative and dressed in ultraviolet – the colour of the year according to those who know at PANTONE® – this glossy and futuristic evolution of the classic Ozweego is inspired by military bunny boots and boasts built-up sole units and transparent silicone side panelling.

Arriving just in time for sunnier days on the horizon, the Checkerboard Adilettes are as cool as they are comfortable. For SS18 the Belgian powerhouse of design updates a classic slider silhouette in a bright and bold yellow hue.

Tailored and elegant, SS18’s Detroit Runner is Raf’s take on a next generation running style – built with a low-cut profile and a thick tread sole. Two worlds collide as a space-age sole meets stripped back, classic canvas uppers.

Classic and clean cut, a signature pair of Stan Smiths come imbued with comfortable Poron® cushioning underfoot and are perforated to perfection – a showcase of Simons’ acute eye for detail.

Perfected and pioneering – add the latest covetable styles from adidas x Raf Simons to your footwear portfolio this season; online now at UrlfreezeShops
