Michael Le Trompe l’oeil has quickly bled its way into fashion, with Our Legacy and Maison Margiela making use of the technique for corduroy trousers and Reebok sneakers, respectively. adidas, too, is crafting optical illusions of their own, sublimating the image of beloved Three Stripes icons — i.e. the Superstar, Stan Smith, Samba, and Forum Low — over top the base of the PUFFYLETTE.
Deceptive at all angles, perfectly capturing the look of each of the above-mentioned sneaker, these four forthcoming colorways of the PUFFYLETTE are effectively an homage to adidas history and design. The style’s simple, near seamless construction lends itself well to the image of these very classics — and at a far enough glance, you likely wouldn’t be able to discern a pair from the real thing.
For a closer look at all four iterations of the adidas PUFFYLETTE, see below. Though available now over in Asia, a global release won’t arrive until later in 2023.
In other adidas news, the adiFOM Q Halo Blue is expected to release later this December.
