Celebrating Heritage: adidas Originals TOBACCO for KICKS LAB.

In a significant fusion of street fashion and heritage, KICKS LAB. partners with adidas Originals to unveil the sixth installment of their collaboration: the adidas Originals TOBACCO for KICKS LAB. This unique sneaker is designed and crafted in the heart of Tokyo, Harajuku, a renowned epicenter of street style in Japan.

The foundation of this sneaker is built upon the classic TOBACCO model from the 1970s, a revered part of the adidas Island Series. The upper showcases a luxurious suede material that captures the nostalgic feel of the era, harking back to a time of distinct cultural significance.

A hallmark feature is the use of the iconic three stripes and heel counter, rendered in shades of brown that shift through the years and production regions. The design draws inspiration from the classic brown tones typical of French productions during the late 1970s to early 1980s, seamlessly integrating these historical references into a contemporary context. A dark brown inner lining further enhances the nostalgic aesthetic, ensuring the sneaker resonates with fans of vintage flair.

The bold combination of KICKS LAB.'s distinctive black and white store colors on the upper and insole is a meticulous detail that brings a modern twist to this historical design. Additionally, the collaboration continues the legacy from previous partnerships by introducing a flip color concept, reversing the signature brown and black palette to create a striking visual narrative.

The TOBACCO for KICKS LAB. is not just a footwear option; it represents a thoughtful reimagining of adidas's rich heritage, elevated through KICKS LAB.'s unique lens. It stands as a bridge connecting past and present, exuding an exceptional presence in today's street fashion landscape. As a sneaker that marries tradition with modern necessity, it promises authenticity and style.
