Long-standing collaborative partners adidas Originals and Alexander Wang are back again for the second drop of their third collaboration after last month’s release of a new chunky Bball Soccer sneaker. Consisting of an AW run and two colorways of the AW Reissue Run, the second part of the collection is inspired by mistakes and inconsistencies in a factory’s quality control process.
The AW Run features a clean black Primeknit upper with a full-length white Boost midsole and gum outsole, while an upside-down trefoil logo on the lateral heel gives it a perfectly imperfect look. The AW Reissue Run features a layered mesh upper with suede accents on the tongue and a neoprene heel. Bold branding arrives on the tongue, and the shoe’s unique lacing system moves all the way from the forefoot to the heel, appearing as if it holds the upper together. Care instructions appear on the two-tone midsole and an outsole with heavy tread rounds off the shoe’s loud aesthetic. Both silhouettes will be available on adidas.com May 19th alongside a co-branded capsule collection of apparel.
