Following the Prada x adidas partnership, the footwear giant is reportedly teaming up with another popular name in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its Superstar silhouette —  legendary hip-hop group, Run-DMC.

According to sources, the Run-DMC x adidas Superstar 50th anniversary model will arrive in three colorways: black, white and a combination of the two. An adidas logo and the face of the late Jam Master Jay sporting the iconic fedora can be found on the tongue, while the Superstar branding atop the Three Stripes is presented with two red bands as an ode to the group’s logo. Seeing as the group proudly wore their sneakers laceless, the upcoming iteration might also be easy to wear without its shoelaces.

The reported collaboration marks the third time the two names will be working together, following the adidas Superstar 80 25th anniversary and 35th anniversary packs. If sources are correct, the Run-DMC x adidas Superstar 50th anniversary will drop on April 2020 for $150 USD each.

In other footwear news, adidas and Jonah Hill’s collaborative line will reportedly include three silhouettes.
