Detailed Look at the Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu in "Auburn/Simple Brown"
A chocolatey colorway for Skateboard P’s signature adidas sneaker.






Jack-of-all-trades Pharrell has done everything from release a skincare line to executive produce movies in 2020, all while keeping his fruitful partnership with adidas Originals rolling along unimpeded. This fall and winter, Skateboard P and adidas have largely focused their efforts on the NMD Hu, and the latest style of the popular sneaker to debut is a seasonally appropriate “Auburn/Simple Brown.”
Knit uppers put forth a sweet chocolate brown tone, then quickly accent it with a more earthy brown on the laces and midfoot cage. The shoe’s signature detail arrives on the toeboxes and throats, thanks to embroidered Korean characters that translate to — you guessed it — “Human Race” in English. An extra dash of contrast is supplied via black collar trim, and Pharrell’s equality logo replaces standard adidas branding on the left shoe. Down below, a chocolate brown BOOST midsole adds earthy brown accents on its heel and forefoot bricks. Brown rubber outsoles round off the look.
The Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu “Auburn/Simple Brown” will release on the adidas webstore in the coming weeks. The MSRP is set at a standard $220 USD.
