the original silhouette from the late ’90s was reintroduced by simons in 2013, featuring a mixture of smooth leather, mesh and a robust performance sole. its latest iteration adds chrome silver detailing which highlights the lower half.

as described by adidas, the upcoming collection is ‘reminiscent of the ‘70s glam rock era that was central to raf simon’s inspiration for the season.’ the shoes are available in six colourways – black, grey, red, blue, cream and pink – all maintaining the silhouette’s heavily panelled upper design. see a detailed look at the full collection below and look out for them online at adidas.com as well as select retailers on from may 23rd.
