Adidas Originals By Originals X LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD – Superstar 80s

adidas Originals by Originals (ObyO) - Kazuki Kuraishi - SUPERSTAR 80s LUKER Leather

The adidas Originals Superstar 80 is without a doubt, one of the iconic classics that will never go out of style. It was first introduced in 1969 as the first low-top basketball shoes, and by the mid 70s, the shell toe has made a considerable appearance and impact on the NBA scene. Later, the shoes Superstars were taken off court and became favored by those dwelling in the hip-hop culture, and is as indispensable as the adidas track suits. However, perhaps because of the silhouette, the Superstars are not easy canvases for collaboration, and it often takes a good sense of design and creativity to create a winning collaborative Superstar. But, if anyone nailed it, LUKER by NEIGHBORHOOD did.

As a part of the adidas Originals by Originals Kazuki Kuraishi Fall/Winter 2010 line-up, the new LUKER by Neighborhood adidas Superstar 80s keeps the throwback kicks simple in black and white with minimal accoutrement. The soft leather upper is rendered in all black, with the LUKER by Neighborhood logo residing quite inconspicuously in white at the heel, matching the white heel tab. The co-branding on tongue is white as well, also happening to match the signature kzk heel tape.

Simple and straightforward, LUKER by NEIGHBORHOOD and Kazuki Kuraishi has proven that simplicity still reigns above all. These are set to release this coming season, so do stay on the look out for them when August rolls around.

Adidas Originals By Originals – Fall/Winter 2010 – Kazuki Kuraishi (Kzk) Footwear

adidas Originals by Originals (ObyO) - Kazuki Kuraishi - BRAKEN Leather

The adidas Originals by Originals line, after having been running for four seasons, has proven itself to be stronghold in the unforgiving and cut-throat fashion world. It has become an anchor for trusted creative design and quality. With each of the commissioned collaborators bringing their specialty to play, Jeremy Scott for the outrageous, James Bond for the simplicity, and Kazuki with his eye for details and an ability to create extraordinary depth to his designs, it is no wonder that adidas ObyO has won fans over rather easily since its inception. For the coming Fall/Winter 2010 season, Kuraisihi doesn’t disappoint, and continues to wow with his signature fusion of Japanese flavored streetwear with highly technical elements, and of course, collaborations.

The footwear from the adidas ObyO kzk is evidence enough for how Kuraishi continues to change the footwear game and bring new elements to a seemingly exhausted sneaker market. This season, he draws inspiration from vintage American sportswear and also incorporates Native American influences into the sneakers. Hybridization is key, but instead of simply fusing two shoes into one, Kuraishi draws different elements from each adidas shoe and mixes them with his new ideas. For instance, the ZX Mocc Leather is a number of different shoes all fused into one. It is part adidas classic runner with the ZXZ sole unit as used in the ZXZ ADV, part creeper (with the weaved creeper toe detail), part moccasin in silhouette and mixed in with modern printed midsoles and laser engraved eyelets.

Meanwhile, there is also the ZX Braken Leather which is built on the adidas basketball DNA, having been built on the Forum tooling. With a new crepe sole, newly molded moccasin upper which features a diamond printed design as seen on the shell jackets, these also come with ZX running outsoles for an extra casual touch, and molded sock liners as a thoughtful detail.

Last but not least, the next stand-out piece is a collaboration with LUKER by Neighborhood. This three-way collaboration has decided on the classic adidas Originals Superstar 80’s as a canvas, and rendered everything simply in black and white, with blacked-out three-stripes, upper, and only beacon of white in the shell toe and heel tab and soles. Minimal co-branding on the tongue and back of the sneakers are inconspicuous. The Superstar collaboration has also been rendered into a kid’s version, so wearing matching cool kicks with that kid in your life is not impossible.

The entire footwear collection has been kept understated and simple in terms of color palette, letting the meticulous design details shine through. As with all previous adidas Originals by Originals kzk footwear, the kicks feature a special kzk heel tape. The Fall/Winter 2010 collection is set to hit stores in August, so do stay on the look out for them!

Adidas Originals By Originals – Fall/Winter 2010 – Kazuki Kuraishi (Kzk) Apparel

Armed with an eye for details, a mind that doesn’t cease to wander and talented friends ready to help, Kazuki Kuraishi is back for the four season of adidas Originalsby Originals line-up for Fall/Winter 2010. Last season, Kuraishi enlisted the help of friends such as DJ MINTOS and CLOT to bring their two pence into the line, this coming season, Kuraishi turns to NEIGHBORHOOD’s new diffusion label, LUKER by Neighborhood, WHIZ Limited and also brought back DJ and artist MINTOS to the control. Having previously previewed the upcoming footwear collection from Fall/Winter 2010, now we have the apparel which goes with the cool hybrid kicks that are part vintage American, part Japanese, and all modern.

One of the staples which have returned is Kuraishi’s technical outerwear, and this season, it comes in the form of the KZK LTE Shell. For Spring/Summer, Kuraishi adopted colorful plaid and highly technical material, but for Fall/Winter, Kuraishi drew inspiration from adidas’ iconic diamond design on their footwear outsoles. This jacket is all weather proof with a fully seam-taped 3D silhouette, waterproof 2L Diaplex fabric and waterproof zippers. In Kuraishi’s world, every detail is functional and every function, has style.

In his collaboration with LUKER by Neighborhood, the duo came out with a few pieces, one of the stand out styles being the Luker Tweed Riders Jacket which features a biker jacket silhouette, but is crafted from heritage Scottish Harris Tweed. What we have previewed here is a simple grey logo hoodie featuring three-stripes running down the hood, and features easy co-branding on the front.

DJ Mintos returns with the same signature logo, ” Mintos At The Controls” and he has playfully added three elastic pockets to the crewneck BMX shirt. On the outerwear front, Kuraishi took some military inspiration and rendered the classic nylon track jacket with four military style pockets, three-stripes (of course!) and silver kzk emblems.

Aside from fresh apparel for the adults, this season also marks the introduction of adidas ObyO kzk’s children’s collection, and some of the pieces have been produced in collaboration with LUKER by Neighborhood as well. The collection is set for its first drop in August, so stay tuned and keep an eye out for them because these will not be staying on the racks for long.
