adidas and Upper Playground will drop the third part of their four-part series in collaboration with Aesop Rock. The first two collaborations included Herbert Baglione and David Choe and the final one will be with Sam Flores.  Aesop Rock explains the design concept behind his Stan Smith sneaker: “The faded green and gold colors have a strange eerie-meets-regal vibe that I liked when designing the art for last year’s None Shall Pass album. I wanted to continue that color scheme, and keep it pretty simple. I didn’t want anything too intrusive. Basically I just wanted something that I’d rock, and my mother might even wear them.” There are only 500 pairs available of this sneaker worldwide. Sizes range from men’s size 4 to 13.5. To get your hands on the Aesop Rock adidas Originals sneaker, visit upperplayground.com or head to an Upper Playground retail store. The sneaker will go on sale online at 8 am PT on Thursday, July 31st.
