Music mogul Pharrell Williams recently showcased his latest work with adidas in the form of a collaborative lifestyle sneaker. Utilizing the new NMD silhouette, the artist was seen wearing a yellow rendition of the shoe, known simply under a project name of “Human Race,” as he lounged at the Rodeo Drive location of Chanel in Los Angeles. Vibrantly colored like his Supercolor collection, the knit upper sneaker uses a solid color tone for the majority of the shoe, while “HUMAN” and “RACE” are boldly printed underneath a modified lacing system that is quite different from the standard NMDs. No word just yet on release date or pricing/availability, but stay tuned for more info in the near future.
