Trigger fingers on the checkout button, as the ALEXANDER WANG x ADIDAS ORIGINALS SPRING 2017 COLLECTION is imminent…

Returning to the throne for another collaborative run with adidas Originals, Alexander Wang brings a high-end sensibility to the 3-stripe brand, adding a perfect fusion of ready to wear premium sportswear pieces across footwear and apparel.

In footwear, we’re seeing a mixture of old and new, with the Drop 3 lookbook teasing a new spin on the stalwart adidas Stan Smith silhouette, subjecting it to a high-tech overhaul by pulling in key elements from the Primeknit and Boost, along with a contrasting woven tongue and overlays on the lace eyelets for extra punch.

The confirmed releases for this drop see Wang introduce two sports-inspired new models to the fore, AW SKATE and AW BBALL. The AW Skate is a minimal skate inspired model, pairing together stripped-down monochrome uppers with a tri-color rubber outsole. Crafted from ultra-soft suede with a goat leather heel lining, the molded sock liner gives the AW Skate an undeniably snug anatomical fit.

The AW BBall creeps a little higher, taking form as a deconstructed basketball model that marries high fashion with the hardwood. A robust retro silhouette crafted from a smooth leather upper, the AW BBall fuses the Forum Hi with a bold Boost midsole, meeting the model’s original midsole halfway as an overlay to the front. Turning the typical adi style on its head (literally), both shoes are finished with upside down trefoil branding.

Precise details of what is dropping are still a bit cloudy, but keep an eye on our release pages for further updates.

The ALEXANDER WANG x ADIDAS ORIGINALS SPRING 2017 COLLECTION will be available from SATURDAY 1 APRIL. Check the release page below for direct stockist links and updates.
