Pharrell and His Friends Tease the Upcoming adidas Humanrace Sichona
In a friends-and-family only green colorway.
Pharrell‘s extensive use of Instagram to tease his latest sneaker silhouette with adidas — the Humanrace Sichona — has turned many a head over the past few weeks. He’s posted it on his personal page several times, blessed his famous friends like Lil Uzi Vert (seen sans forehead diamond above) with pairs and even sent out a handful to various sneaker influencers. You’re likely somewhat familiar with the basketball-esque knit silhouette at this point in time, but a new report from Sneaker News provides an interesting fact: namely that the all-green style we’ve been seeing is a friends and family exclusive.
From a looks standpoint, the Humanrace Sichona seems to draw inspiration from Pharrell’s popular Humanrace skincare line by using the same shade of green and thick branded font as Humanrace packaging. Its Primeknit upper rises just over the wearer’s ankle, and different knits are used on the forefoot, midfoot and collar to add texture. Branding is largely kept to a minimum, save for a signature white Humanrace hit on the quarter and a Three Stripe graphic on the tongue. Down below, bulbous midsoles that appear to be stuffed with BOOST cushioning complete the look.
The Pharrell x adidas Humanrace Sichona will release in other colorways later this summer, though an official date of arrival has yet to be confirmed.
