Adidas has partnered with fashion designer Craig Green to introduce the CG Squash Polta AKH, a new shoe that pays homage to the 1988 Squash model known for its agility and speed. This collaboration brings a modern twist to the classic performance style.
One of the standout features of the CG Squash Polta AKH is its transparent mesh upper, which allows the internal layers of the shoe to be seen and appreciated. This design choice showcases the industrial colors that are typically hidden beneath the surface and is a signature element of Craig Green’s work with Adidas Originals.
The transparent upper is adorned with the iconic Adidas 3-Stripes, creating intriguing transparencies where it intersects with the internal construction. Additionally, the inner canvas of the shoe bears the imprint of the original shoe’s serial number, F.6314b Squash, dating back to 1988. This detail adds a sense of heritage and nostalgia to the design.
To maintain a connection with the original shoe, Adidas has incorporated a suede trim around the outer sole and a perforated tongue. These elements pay homage to the classic design while adding modern touches.
Another unique feature of the CG Squash Polta AKH is the new lacing system, which combines three fine laces joined together at the tip. This design choice not only nods to the iconic Adidas 3-Stripes but also adds a touch of uniqueness to the shoe. Both the Craig Green and Adidas logos are prominently displayed on the shoe, highlighting the collaboration between the two renowned brands.
The CG Squash Polta AKH will be available for purchase starting July 27. This shoe not only celebrates Adidas’ design heritage but also showcases Craig Green’s innovative approach to fashion. Sneaker enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals are sure to be captivated by this collaboration.
