When rumours began circulating in October that Italian fashion house Prada and iconic sportswear manufacturer adidas Originals would be working together, there was a lot of excitement. Endless design mockups were created from both the fashion and footwear community, with minds teeming with ideas of what the shoe would look like.
Much to the surprise of footwear aficiandos, Prada and adidas Originals decided to keep things simple; opting for the classic adidas Superstar as the silhouette of choice. Whilst it may not have been as creative as some would have thought, it made a lot of sense. One of the world’s most recognisable sneakers was elevated with some of the world’s best materials.
Limited to just 700 pairs
The Prada x adidas Superstar is without a doubt one of the most luxury sneakers of all time. Prada has hand-crafted the adidas Superstar in its range of luxury leathers, using a crisp white base to add some unique touches. A co-branded tongue and insole, as well as ‘Prada Made in Italy’ on the heel, makes sure that this is not just any adidas Superstar. The edition number also features on the medial side of the shoe, an added touch that elevates this shoe above the rest.
adidas Bowling Bag
Fans have also been treated to a luxury makeover of the adidas Bowling Bag, hand crafted using Prada’s exquisite materials. The Bowling Bag features the co-branded logos on a white leather base with black detailing, as well as the edition number.
The retail price on the Prada x adidas Originals collection is £2,345, making it the most expensive retail adidas sneaker of all time.
