Adidas Originals Five-Two 3 City Artist Pack

Adidas has really stepped their collaboration status up lately, working with industry-leading retailers like Bodega and Undefeated on recent packs. Next up is the Five-Two 3 City Artist Pack, which pairs the footwear company with five artists from five major international art hotbeds.

London’s Pochoir worked on a Superstar, making the heel area appear like a worn-down brick wall. From Italy, photographer Fakso went to work on the Nizza High, dressing it in black accents on yellow tone photo. French influence is seen in the gold Flor De Lis that appear over blue nubuck on the KRSN x Stan Smith 80. Japanese-influenced New York transplant Dalek dressed a Forum Mid with his Space Monkey character and multiple shades of grey on a black leather base. The fifth and final shoe in the pack is an adidas Samba designed by MADSAKI, who is based out of Tokyo. The wildest of the bunch, MADSAKI concepted a flap over the laces, changing the original Samba silhouette drastically

Adidas “Grün” Pack

German for “green,” “Grün” lets us know this entire pack of Adidas trainers is made of recycled materials. Five sneakers total are included with a Nizza Mid, Stan Smith, Forum Mid, Superstar 2, and Samba.

The Nizza Mid uses a grey and blue colourway, which uses a large Adidas leaf logo along the side as an accent. The Samba’s upper uses grey wool for the majority with orange, red and white contrast stitching. The remaining shoes all get wool as well, though the Stan Smith gets it in black instead of grey. The multi-colour laces add an 80’s technicolor element to the whole pack. All five pairs will drop at select Adidas Originals stores sometime soon
