adidas by RAF SIMONS, a collaboration between adidas and RAF SIMONS, will release its Spring/Summer 2018 collection.
The boundary-breaking collaboration, which pioneered the concept of crossover between fashion and sportswear, is now in its 10th season. This time, through the lens of innovative Belgian designer Raf Simons, the collection redefines some of adidas' most iconic shapes, bringing classic styles to a fresh new light.
The Detroit Runner and the iconic Ozweego are unique interpretations of the shoe, serving as the centerpieces of the collection. The Detroit Runner, which debuted in the Fall/Winter 2017 collection, is a futuristic shoe characterized by an unexpected fusion of style, featuring a thick tread rubber midsole and a classic canvas upper that is stripped of unnecessary embellishments. The lineup includes muted colors such as red, onyx, brown, and talc, as well as pure black.
This summer, the Ozweego gets a makeover—literally, its lightest yet. The Replicant Ozweego is best characterized by eye-catching cutout panels inlaid with a mix of leather and textiles. Meanwhile, the classic Ozweego III updates its signature two-layer design, combining oily synthetic fabrics with canvas, mesh, and rubber.
