The Theme of This Collaboration is "BEST of adidas Originals"



For 15 years, "mastermind JAPAN," a global domestic brand, has developed luxurious casual collections featuring a skull as its trademark. This is the second collaboration with adidas Originals. The items, which combined the individuality of both brands, announced in the previous collaboration (June 2010), received an astonishing response.

This "final" collaboration features an original and rich lineup that weaves mastermind JAPAN's unique creative ideas into adidas Originals' authentic iconic models, with carefully selected materials, textures, and the key color black.









For footwear, the focus is on the "ZX500 OG," the first model in adidas Originals' classic running icon ZX series, and the "RIVALRY HI," a popular model from the 80s when the world was captivated by the NBA. Additionally, the lineup includes "CTRY" and "GAZELLE OG," training shoes essential to adidas Originals' history, and the "PROMODEL CF," an evolution of the SS in a high-cut version that was a sensation in the 70s.

For apparel, models such as the leather "FIREBIRD TRACKTOP," which became a catalyst for bridging sports and culture, the "SHELL JACKET" made with high-performance 3-layer material Diaplex for wind and rain resistance, and the "HOODED SUIT" with its luxurious design are available. All are unmissable items befitting a "final" collection.
