The Adidas Superstar is an iconic shoe, and Craig Green has created a unique version of it in collaboration with the sports giant. The pair reconstructed the shoe in suede-like plush material and added black contrast stitching. The result is a style that is both comfortable and fashionable.
CG SQUASH POLTA AKH
Reinterpreting the Adidas Squash shoes from 1988, Craig Green reimagined these Made in Taiwan Squash shoes with a transparent design that reflects a vulnerable message. A midsole built with EVA provides long-lasting comfort, while Squash-inspired rubber tooling completes the look.
This collaboration between Adidas Originals and Craig Green continues a long-running fashion partnership. Previous collaborations have included Gucci, Prada, and Wales Bonner. Craig Green has been crafting collaborative silhouettes since SS20, and in this capsule, he reimagines the Adidas Squash, an iconic shape that was first released in 1988.
The Adidas CG SQUASH POLTA AKH features subtle branding details, including a Trefoil on the gum rubber bumper and a shoestring that forms the Three Stripes. The Killshot, the brand’s first sneaker, was a simple design and a top seller. But thanks to Craig Green and the Adidas design team, it has become something more.
The upper of the shoes are constructed of a transparent material with Craig Green’s iconic three stripes printed on them. It’s a homage to the original 1988 design of the shoe, and the fine material also features an inner canvas with the serial number of the design, dating back to 1988. Other details include the Adidas Trefoil badge and Craig Green’s signature branding on the tongue and heel collar.
CG GRADDFA AKH
The Adidas Craig Green GRADDFA AKH Carbon is the latest sneaker in Craig Green’s collaboration with Adidas. This sneaker features a patterned upper with an intricately designed logo engraved in Craig Green’s signature typeface. The sneaker is a fun and fresh look with a classic silhouette.
The Grandpa AKH is a chunky sneaker with a bold attitude and unrestrained midsole studs. It differs from the Kamanda, a more streamlined and dynamic sneaker. The GRADDFA AKH is available at FastSoleUK.
This shoe features a thermoplastic upper for an eye-catching look. It also features a rubber sole and an almond toe. The design is completed with three-stripe detailing and a Craig Green logo on the heel. It is an excellent choice for the everyday guy or a man looking for something edgier.
CG SCUBA STAN
The Adidas CG SCUBA Stan collaborates with Adidas Originals and legendary British designer Craig Green. These sneakers are made of white leather trimmed with green accents. They also feature a unique string detail that runs throughout the shoe. Exaggerated rubber soles and ribbed grips complete the look. The versatile design can be worn with cropped jeans to midi dresses.
The Craig Green x Adidas CG SCUBA STAN is slated to be released in autumn/winter 2022. Pre-orders will be available from select local retailers via the Adidas CONFIRMED app. For further information, visit adidas.com/uk. The Adidas CG SCUBA STAN will retail for $165.
CG STAN SMITH BOOST
For Autumn/Winter 2022, Craig Green and Adidas Originals are reuniting. The two companies have worked together for years on shoes, including the Kamada, Ozweego, and Superstar. They also expanded the Samba and unloaded surprises season after season.
Adidas’ most popular trainer, the Stan Smith Boost, incorporates Boost technology that has become an industry staple. The Boost midsole helps return energy and delivers a smoother ride than other sneakers. Since its introduction, it has been seen on various Adidas models, including basketball shoes and lifestyle trainers.
