Having claimed its throne on the ever-growing trend of high fashion sneakers, adidas by Raf Simons unveiled its Spring/Summer 2016 collection during Paris Fashion Week last week. The upcoming series continues the collaborative labels’ signature styles—the Stan Smith, the Ozweego 2 and, the Response Trail—and introduces the brand new Stan Smith Strap, all of which boast distinct features and individualistic charm. Here we take a closer look into each shoe.

In contrast to the former two’s simplistic look, the adidas by Raf Simons Ozweego 2 features a more avant-garde design, with a layered upper, running-inspired profile, and transparent silicone windows. The series comes in khaki and deep green and a special model in black, blue, and brown tones.

A cutting-edge addition to the Spring/Summer 2016 collection, the adidas by Raf Simons Stan Smith Strap introduces a buckle strap version of the classic Stan Smith, bringing an innovative twist of refinement to the ’80s inspired Velcro straps of the original back-to-basics model. The new shoe comes in its signature fine leathers and Raf Simons branding in green and white, blue and red, or black and white.
adidas by Raf Simon’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection will be available at adidas concept stores and select boutiques in mid-February 2016.
