Throughout his 20-year career, Raf Simons has established himself as a singular talent in menswear design, consistently presenting avant-garde and impactful collections.




Following the debut 2013-14 Fall/Winter collaborationwith adidas, the 2014 Spring/Summer season sees the introduction of further innovative styles with enhanced depth, featuring unique designs and variations under the "shoe-in-shoe" concept.




New additions to this second collaboration include an updated "STAN SMITH" and training shoes based on the "adidas Bounce" motif, featuring seasonal patterns printed on the uppers that match Raf Simons' apparel collections. Depending on the individual shoe's ornamentation, either the Sport Performance logo or the adidas Originals trefoil logo is featured. Some models also incorporate the iconic three stripes.




This collection offers up to four colorways, resulting in a total lineup of 21 unique designs across eight unisex models. Each design incorporates a playful, comic-book-inspired aesthetic. The uppers utilize unexpected combinations of materials such as nylon, leather, sports mesh, and embroidered fabric.
