adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Project | Maharishi Stan Smith

20 July 2009, 20.16 | Posted in Sneakers | No comments »

adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Project | Maharishi Stan Smith

Another high profile collaboration comes as part of the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Project Brands Pack. This time they worked with Maharishi on the classic Stan Smith.

In line with maharishi’s strong ‘decommissioned’ army influences, drawing attention to the beauty of camo patterns and clothing design and negating the military associations, the light blue canvas upper of this Stan Smith makeup draws inspiration from a less obvious piece of regulation apparel – naval chambray shirting circa WWII.

Contrasting white stitching continues the theme, while a red top eyelet, metal eyelets reinforcing the trademark ‘3-Stripes’ of perforation make for subtle but effective detailing. The brand’s signature dragon motif is embroidered on the tongue, with a maharishi logo applied on the heel and a special ‘XV mahadidas’ sockliner to complete a unique meeting-of-minds.

The second group of the adidas 3Way Project is about to be released and the group is about as strong as it could be. The following sneakers were designed by Goodfoot, DQM, Huf and Undefeated. Rather than the first time around, where each store designed one shoe and all of them one collective shoe, the second group worked on four collective sneakers, consisting of the Stan Smith, Nizza Hi, Forum Mid and Samab. The pack is overall very minimalistic and if you take the Forum Mid out of the equation consists of very subtle and easy to wear sneakers, featuring suede and fleece uppers.

The Forum Mid will only be released at the four involved retailers, where as the other three sneakers will also be available at other Consortium retailers around the globe. The sneakers will be released some time in May.
