Minimal Chunky Running Shoes

NAMESAKE Takes a Spin at a Pair of its Own adidas Sneaker for SS25

Fashion imprint NAMESAKE unveils its latest collection designed specifically for the Spring/Summer 2025 season including a pair of remixed adidas sneakers. The shoes can be described as chunky detailed with black and white colorway palettes for a simple design aesthetic.

It boasts a stealthy design language as the black palette is doused in the tone throughout the silhouette including the sole unit and laces. For a touch of tonal contrast, the shoe is detailed with silver accents around the toe box and the tongue over the forefoot. NAMESAKE described its Spring/Summer 2025 collection that is rooted in family, heritage, and personal growth in one line: "In the rhythm of the waves, we find our direction and purpose."
