Hender Scheme x adidas Superstar Black

adidas and Hender Scheme worked together on one of the standout collaborations of 2017 – paying tribute to three iconic models from the Originals back catalog. For Spring 2018, adidas continues its journey with the Tokyo-based label; elevating the collaboration to new and unexplored levels. This year’s iteration of the partnership challenges Hender Scheme to re-approach the same three modern classics – the Superstar, Micropacer and NMD R1 – and bridge the gap between Hender Scheme’s identity and the original versions of the adidas silhouettes. Until now, every one of Hender Scheme’s manual industrial products has been manufactured in the label’s signature tanned leather and only ever made available to its loyal devotees in a natural or all black colorway. Besides revisiting the three models in traditional tanned leather once again, Hender Scheme steps beyond its established color palette for the first time, taking inspiration from the iconic adidas models. The Micropacer receives classic silver outerlay and red and blue accents, while the NMD R1 arrives in black with blue and red plugs. The Superstar is delivered with a black upper and three distinctive white stripes. Three Styles from three different eras of adidas’ illustrious history that – through color and subtle references – are placed closer to their original contexts.
