Simone Rocha slides into its adidas era with — wait for it — furry, pearly slip-on sneakers. Makes sense.
The London brand has essentially brought its signature girlcore aesthetic to its debut adidas collaboration, resulting in a dainty, albeit textural, Japan slip-on sneaker.
Yes, Simone Rocha has mule-ified adidas' slimmed-out sneaker. The label has also dressed it with pony hair-style uppers and ultra-creamy leather. It also features pearl-covered Three Stripes.
While other sneakers are going Miu Miu mode with double shoelaces, Simone Rocha's adidas shoes come triple-laced. The third set of lace-ups is the charm, or however the saying goes.
The rest of the collection is just as pretty and frilly, featuring Taekwondo ballet flats and lace Climacool sneakers. Simone Rocha's collab also includes tulle track jackets and ruffled trousers, plus equally cutesy sports skirts and dresses.
After all, Simone Rocha is the queen of "hardcore femininity, " a design language felt in in-line offerings and even collaborations with Crocs (think cutesy Quick Trail Low sneakers and pearly clog heels ). Now, adidas' most classic models are getting a taste of it.
Simone Rocha's adidas collab is scheduled to drop on September 10 on the brand's website . The hairy Japan Slip-on sneakers will release for $220.
