Premium Limited Edition Footwear Releases

adidas Originals Teams Up with Pharrell and Human Made

A brand new limited edition footwear collection was launched on October 5th across adidas Originals Flagships, the brand's e-commerce platform, and a small collection of retailers.

The project boasts three new iterations of Pharrell and adidas' Hu line. The shoes have been upgraded with design sensibilities from NIGO's Human Made. The silhouettes, which are part of this limited edition footwear drop, include the Tennis Hu, the Solar Hu, and the Hu NMD. All three boast unparallel attention to detail and elements that effortlessly insert the shoes into the context of contemporary streetwear. Aside from the technical features such as Tennis Hu's adaptively breathable Primeknit upper and Solar Hu's supportive, energy-returning Boost™ midsole, all three uppers are branded with an embroidered Human Made Heart logo.
