adidas by RAF SIMONS SS15 styles

The outstanding collaboration between adidas and Raf Simons continues for Spring/Summer 2015 resulting in an expanded range of seven different silhouettes in various colour and material executions. The new adidas by Raf Simons collection includes the now-staples, Response Trail 2, Ozweego 2 and Bounce, further developments of the classic Stan Smith, the introduction of two new models, the Platform Strap and the Platform Lace and most significantly, Raf Simon’s interpertation of the Adilette.

 

Three versions of the iconic Adilette are part of this season’s collection. The most extreme style reinterprets the shape on an elevated platform with a plush molded foot-bed including a simple forefoot strap and a long elegant ribbon which wraps and ties around the heel. The Adilette is also reworked in bold colours , one includes a 2-tone forefoot strap while the other is monochromatic.

 

The timeless Stan Smith is updated in various new color ways including a saturated red and dark grey as well as pastel tones & the classic white. The perforated R on the side, and a sketch of the designer’s likeness always sign off each style.

 

The two new concepts, the Platform Strap and Platform Lace combine an elevated midsole with elements that illuminate under pressure creating progressive yet athletic footwear styles.

Presented this June during Paris Men’s Fashion Week, the collection will hit retail from mid February 2015 onwards, with a retail price ranging from € 120 - € 690. Available at the adidas Icon stores in London, Paris and Berlin as well as select boutiques around the world.
