Sneakersnstuff had recently worked in collaboration with [adidas Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-japan) on an SNS GT sneaker model for the season and the two return with yet another colorway option. The upcoming iteration is designed to celebrate the bustling city of [Tokyo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-x-mita-sneakers-mt580), featuring the tones from the official colors of the city's flag.

It is adorned in both purple and white and has the help of costume stylist Keisuke Baba and artist Jun Inagawa. The retro sneakers are specifically designed as a nod to Tokyo's strong football subculture and its U.K. inspiration. The upper is made from suede materials in a [hairy texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campus-00-1) in the deep purple hue and marked with white leather at the three-stripes branding on the lateral side.
