Editor's Notes: Who runs the world? Beyoncé. As we all start gearing up for the fast-approaching start of summer, updating our sneaker rotations with seasonal palettes and dialed-back fabrications, the Queen B is hotting up the streets with a fresh pair of Three Stripes.
It's been a minute since the last adidas x IVY PARK release, and there's no doubting that the Beyhive has been hungry for new product, whether that's sneakers or apparel. Well, the time has come to feast your eyes on something hot off the press – the Super Sleek.
Hitting the ground running with a name worthy of the star, the Super Sleek is being framed as the perfect addition to any summer sneaker rotation.
Though aesthetically unique, the shoe's DNA is rooted in two of adidas' most classic silhouettes, the timeless Stan Smith and resurging favorite, the Samba.
The Stan Smith's silhouette lends itself to the Super Sleek's profile, although this unique take comes with exaggerated proportions, such as an oversized sole that gives these an almost creeper-like aesthetic. Additional adi' archival references are sprinkled across the sneaker, such as the unmistakable football-inspired Samba tongue and T-shaped toe box.
Palette-wise, the upcoming sneaker is rooted in old-school sportswear, rendered in a mixed fabrication of leather and suede in a blend of off-white and beige tones – a perfectly balance seasonal mix. Finishing off the look is a touch of green, once again referencing the Stan, creating a beautiful contrast to the transparent gum-hued platform sole below.
