The new three-way collaboration between Dover Street Market, Brain Dead and adidas Originals introduces an exclusive take on the JAPAN silhouette, a model originally born as a training shoe in 1964. This partnership brings together the high-fashion curatorial eye of DSM, the subversive, graphic-driven aesthetic of Brain Dead and the deep athletic heritage of adidas.

Rendered in a “Core Black” palette, the sneaker is crafted with a focus on detail, utilizing premium leather across the entire upper. From the classic 3-Stripes to the flame motifs, the shoe is accentuated with contrast-stitched details that resemble dotted outlines. A touch of golden yellow is imbued onto the laterals, showcasing co-branded logos.
