adidas Originals "Plants" Pack x Kazuki x Makoto Azuma

Japanese designer Kazuki has placed himself as a key figure at adidas with his work on his own adidas Originals by Originals collection and his work on the Madsaki adidas Samba.

Kazuki has now teamed up with Makoto Azuma to created the Plants pack, which is part of the adidas Originals Five-Two 3. The pack includes the adidas Samba, adidas Forum Mid, adidas Superstar, adidas Stan Smith and the adidas Nizza High.

The kicks are minimalist, in white uppers with brown outsoles that represent the dirt and the insole is green representing plant life. Each sneaker's tongue features the adidas trefoil logo in green, which extends down as a leafy stem.

The kicks are expect to release this month.
