The Adidas x Raf Slides are a chic but expensive way of showing your dedication to footwear trends and two design powerhouses. Retailing for approximately $200, the Adidas x Raf slides feature a triangular pendant and come in red and black.
The Adidas x Raf slides have been released ahead of the Belgian designer's fifth sneaker collection for Adidas, which also includes reinterpretations of the Stan Smith, Response Trail II and Ozweego II trainers as well. The fall/winter 2015 Adidas x Raf collection is said to be inspired by outer space, specifically a vintage astronaut's suit.
The Adidas x Raf slides are a good example of a classic brand taking a fan favorite product and co-branding with a new designer to give it a fresh spin.
