Pharrell Williams and [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-2) continue to work in collaboration on a new tonal iteration of the Sičhona sneaker model with the Core Black option. It has a Primeknit textile upper that is detailed with a semi-solar pink accent with the lettering that reads out "[Humanrace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanrace-3)."

This can be seen along the mid-panel, with Vivid Green noted in the colorway description as well, but does not seem to make an appearance visually. It has the brand's proprietary Futurenatural technology with is made with direct-injected casting. This is a special process that has a fluid form that blends together the shoe's Primeknit upper along with the anatomically-molded TPU midsole foundation. It's rounded out by a silver tonal webbed tongue tag with additional branding
