A collaborative effort between Kazuki Kuraishi and rock musician Ian Brown has resulted in this Adidas Originals sneaker. The shoe is done in a low-top style with black leather and gold imprints featuring the former Stone Roses singer on the tongue of the shoe and Kuraishi’s name scribbled on the side.
Although the Kazuki Kuraishi x Ian Brown sneakers are an Adidas Originals design, the shoe is also a part of the designer’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
