Angel Chen works in collaboration with adidas Originals on a set of retro-futuristic shoe designs for the season. The pack is made up of three iterations of re-interpreted classic silhouettes. It spotlights the Superstar 80 and the SL7600 sneaker models.

The Superstar 80 is offered in the colorways of either Core Black or Icey Pink -- both of which are made with suede materials at the upper. It is then detailed with leather materials before spotlighting the midsole foundation. It boasts teeth-like details all around the shoe. The SL7600 sneaker is done in a colorway of Off White, Cloud White, and Dark Blue, detailed with blue, red, and neon green. It is made with a knitted base foundation and held with leather and suede overlays.
