Here's when Prada x Adidas Originals will drop

Prada and Adidas officially announced the release date for the second drop of Italian-crafted Superstars and the price tag does not please every pocket. 💰

Let's start saying that this release includes three colorways of the iconic leather Superstar: a traditional white with black accents, a full triple black, and a standout chrome silver.

Since its debut in 1969, this silhouette was simply upgraded material-wise, all pairs benefiting from the expertise of Prada's many footwear specialists. Features such as the Three Stripes along the side, the ever-classic shell toe, and the leather fabrication around are all Made in Italy as is the fashion house’s signature.

⁠

Prada's x Adidas Superstar sneaker takes place in the garden factory, with careful manufacturing at Prada's beautiful Montegranaro facility in Italy’s Marche region.

THAT CRAFTSMANSHIP OF ITALIAN LEATHER IS WHAT CHANGES THE GAME FOR THIS DESIGN — from being a simple $80 tennis sneaker to becoming something that close to a piece of art.

This step of the ongoing collaboration between Prada and Adidas emphasizes qualities shared by and synonymous with each: collaboration, innate respect for eternal classics, and a passion for sport. And that's why this collaborative kick boasts a $500 price tag.

This pair will be available on September 8th at Prada boutiques, Adidas flagship stores, and select retailers.
