To make this ridiculously sleek Japan sneaker, adidas and the Whitaker Group went to Atlanta, where the city's fashion week is currently underway.

Part of the "Do Not Duplicate" collection, the newest Japan sneaker is naturally themed around Atlanta's fashion festivities. Not to mention, Atlanta is basically home to the Whitaker Group, with brands Jaide, Social Status, and A Ma Maniére having stores there.

The adidas shoes, arguably the best-dressed Japans yet, speak directly to the city's unique sense of style. For starters, it's not a normal Japan. It's a square-toe model, complete with semi-thick rubber soles, glossy brown-ish black leather uppers, and crisp white contrast stitching. Oh, and there's gold branding.

It's elegant, stylish, and perfectly squared. Very fitting for fashion week down south.

See, the "Do Not Duplicate" series is more than nice-looking adidas Gazelles and BW Army hybrids; it's another opportunity for the parent company to expand its cultural storytelling. adidas Japan is not only dripping in Atlanta swag, but it's also giving well-deserved flowers to its highly influential fashion scene.

The newest launch also includes a green square-toe Japan sneaker as well as the classy BW Run 120 sneaker. All are now available on A Ma Maniére's website. The square-toe Japan sneaker retails for $160.
