It is not the first time that the artist has launched his own take on the silhouette, dropping two back in December last year. Now, the shoe gets a bright color scheme with a monochromatic look across the board. The sneakers are seen in tones of pink, red, orange, lilac, white, terracotta, yellow, and charcoal. Each colorway is designed entirely in its respective hues across the silhouette. The global launch of the new iterations of the shoes is set to drop online on both adidas and [Human Race](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-tomato-plants) websites beginning May 6th.
