The Prada x adidas Originals was one of the most anticipated collaborations last year and now, the partnership is celebrating its second drop—scheduled to be available for style-minded consumers on September 8th. Although details about price points are not yet released, the Prada Superstar sequel boasts three colorways—an all-black silhouette, a model that embraces the classic white and black aesthetic, as well as a more daring chrome silver upper with white detailing. Consumers interested in the high-end sneakers can access the silhouettes through both brand's website and select retailers.
Following its initial and continuing success, the Prada x adidas Originals collaboration will continue beyond this drop, as well. The follow-up to this release is rumored to be linked to the America's Cup—the "premier sailing competition in the world."
