The new ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY WHITE MOUNTAINEERING SS17 FOOTWEAR COLLECTION is the perfect marriage of German precision and Japanese eye for detail.
The two brands’ collaborations always get us hot under the collar, and this latest instalment of footwear and matching apparel is looking stronger than ever. The design dons at White Mountaineering are renowned for their progressive technical prowess, and for Spring/Summer 2017 they’ve put a unique and vibrant twist on some of adidas Originals’ most innovative creations. The real eye-catcher here is a red, blue and white take on the NMD Trail, a rugged version of the Three Stripes’ recent crowd-pleaser that looks set to snap more necks than Rambo this Spring. The NMD Trail will also be available in a more subdued but equally desirable black and white colourway which sports the same shark-tooth outsole and dual branding at the tongue and heel (as well as a subtle ‘W’ incorporated into the side stripes). Dipping further back into the adidas archives, a simple but sophisticated version of the classic Campus comes with black and navy uppers offset by a crisp white sole and heel panel. The NMD_R2 brings back the dual-branded forefoot tape that caused such a commotion on the City Sock last season – but this time, the tape comes in white with black text to contrast boldly with the otherwise-tonal black and navy uppers. The EQT Support Future is embellished with a textured graphic pattern on its sock-like upper, branded stripes that double as lace stays and a fully white Boost sole. Lastly, a unique hybrid silhouette combines a very summery sandal-like upper with velcro straps and the instantly-recognisable EQT sole unit.
The ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY WHITE MOUNTAINEERING SS17 FOOTWEAR COLLECTION will be released in two drops: the NMD TRAIL and CAMPUS will be available at 9AM GMT on THURSDAY 19 JANUARY, with the remaining styles coming in MARCH.
