Simply titled Hu, the collection presents a range of sneakers bearing simple typography elements in 5 new colourways, namely scarlet, black, sharp blue, green, and tangerine.
The visual distinctions anchoring Hu’s theme pay homage to the spirit of equality and co-existence, featuring flags, stripes, and translations of the phrase “Human Race” in English, French, and Japanese.
Hu’s footwear arsenal builds upon the yellow NMD trainer that hit the globe in recent July and as expected, features adidas Primeknit uppers and energy-returning white adidas Boost midsoles. The range also incorporates laces that are woven through the stabiliser of the shoe’s cage, offering both support and freedom. Further, the shoes distinguish itself from their yellow predecessor via an internal toe cap for a unique shape and a new modernised curved collar.
Each colourway is embedded with its own split slogan, such as “Hu Race,” “Human Species,” or “Hue Man.” The collection is vibrant, oozes youthful energy and harbours a story on humanity. It’s this last bit – the spirit in which the collection was inspired by – that makes Hu appealing beyond simple aesthetics.
adidas Originals = Pharrell Williams Hu launches globally on September 29th 2016 and will be available in Kuala Lumpur through live raffle at RM850 per pair.
