Excepting the dope new blue kzKLOT Superstars that dropped this June, Kazuki Kuarishi’s name has gone cold around these parts. The onetime mainstay of the adidas Originals by Originals campaign has seen his role dialed back a bit as Jeremy Scott’s supernova burns ever brighter, but that doesn’t mean the Kazuki x adidas partnership is over just yet. The new Kazuki x adidas Originals Campus will create ‘Breathe’-able styles across two suede & mesh pairings, while a running mashup based largely on the ZX 380 and reminiscent of earlier ZXZ releases utilizes similar materials and colors to a different end. Check out both colors of both pairs below so you can decide which is best and stick with Sneaker News for US release info.

Kazuki Kuarishi’s adidas Originals by Originals campaign has slowed to a trickle but the model that’s been arguably his biggest success is just too good not to keep releasing in new colorways. Pictured above is the third kzkLOT x adidas Originals Superstar 80s, and though these don’t have the same ‘Breathe’ nickname as the original black design, their mesh upper construction means these are every bit the “breathable shoes for the hot days of Hong Kong or nowadays LA,” Edison Chen described back at the project’s nexus in 2010. Check out this new blue edition, let us know how it compares to the white and black pairs and be ready for these to arrive at Juice on June 22nd with select retailers to follow in July.

Has it really been over nine months since we saw the last Kazuki Kuarishi contribution to the adidas Originals by Originals initiative? During that time, we’ve seen David Beckham’s capsule soldier on like the veteran footballer himself and Jeremy Scott’s popularity blow up like the explosion of color that typifies his style, but Kazuki hasn’t been heard from since the last KzKLOT release last spring. But CLOT, Kazuki and Three Stripes are teaming up to bring the mesh Shelltoe back at least once more, the CLOT x Kazuki x adidas Originals KzKLOT Superstar switching from white/green to another adi-fave in royal blue with a softer shade on the laces.

Check out the latest KZKLOT Superstar 80s, this time done in the green-on-white palette that worked so well for the Rod Laver signature among other Three Stripes heritage models. They’re done almost entirely in mesh for an airy and lightweight feel and readers lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time will find these available now at select adidas Originals retailers throughout Asia, plus the Number6 and Number74 flagships in London and Berlin, respectively.

Kazuki Kuarishi wasn’t billed as the creative mind behind 2009′s adidas Originals Plant Pack but it did earn him an ObyO capsule and with this latest release, credit is given where it’s due. The Kazuki x adidas Originals Plant is a simple lowtop silhouette that vaguely resembles the Converse Chuck Taylor with its rubber-capped toe, but the rosey Trefoil on its heels is distinctly Three Stripes. This pair flips the script on the just released black edition’s colorway, opting for all white with a red foxing band plus KZK’s signature striped strap on the heel. Click through for a better look, let us know if you like these better than the black pair and grab yours from select adidas Originals accounts including SneakersNStuff.
