Raf Simons and adidas Originals have connected on a new collaborative Stan Smith silhouette that is swathed in three bold colorways: red, white and black. All pairs are equipped with the signature velcro straps and are constructed out of glossy leather textiles. The most eye-catching detail in the limited edition series definitely goes to the chenille lettering on the side panels for a collegiate yet classy look.

A stark contrast from the more minimalist Stan Smiths to have come out under the Simons name, these pairs do away with the iconic perforated “Rs” and are now fitted with tactile fabric. The added textile signifies Raf’s conceptual approach to fashion and should be a hit amongst the design house’s fans. Additionally, the three options have just the right amount of flair if wearing with some Raf clothing.

Check out the photos above and find all pairs at select retailers worldwide such as Hanon Shop.
