Adidas Artist Pack now available online at Footasylum

Forum x Dalek

New York’s Dalek has reworked the early 80’s court innovation that is the Forum Mid. With its plethora of panelling and technical features, added texture comes from a series of different leathers, ranging from sturdy tumbled surfaces overlaid on the supersoft leather with a recurring “Space Monkey’ print. Black and grey sits sombrely at odds with the characters, complimented by a sudden burst of colour on the nylon tongue, and finished with a densely printed leather lining and custom sockliner.

Adidas Superstar x Pochoir

Superstar x Pochoir

For London, graffiti-artist Pochoir brings his London street sign satire to a Superstar. Featuring a reflective, stone coloured upper with a subtle printed depiction of the jagged 3-Stripes a totally unique blue commemorative plaque-style heel print and metal lace jewel, finished with a slightly speckled heel Trefoil and stencilled artist logo sockliner.

Stan Smith x KRSN

Artist and illustrator Jan-KRSN-Garet takes inspiration from 70’s and 80’s illustration. His take on the bestselling Stan Smith silhouette features a ‘gold leaf’ print depicting several Fleur-de-lis, distressed gold printing on the heeltabs and an oversized depiction of Stan on the tongue, white metal eyelets and an off-white forefoot stitch. ‘adidas x KRSN Stan Smith Paris 1972’ lettering completes this unique makeup.

Adidas Nizza x Fakso

Nizza x Fakso

An artist, photographer and key documenter of rolling steel, revealing graffiti at its most uncompromising. Milan’s Fakso sees metal as a canvas, celebrating the tactics, technique and determination of the scene’s key players. On the ankle-high Nizza silhouette, the leather upper becomes a canvas, covered by a large graffiti image. The printed tongue, beige 3-Stripes and yellow bottom eyelet, foxing and rubber toe bumper sit on a black midsole, giving the silhouette the dark air of Fakso’s prolific output.

Samba x MADSAKI

MADSAKI holds it down for Tokyo with a shapeshifting multi-discipline approach to art that refuses to be tethered, and his take on the Samba takes the soccer training shoe into new territories without losing sight of the shoe’s original appeal. A patterned soft leather lace cover, a reptile-skin effect leather upper, white contrast stitching, scrawled lettering and white highlighted midsole detailing makes for a unique makeup.
