adidas x 424 SC Premiere & Pro Model 80s - Register Now on END. Launches
Offering a minimalist interpretation of two classic silhouettes, adidas team up with Guillermo Andrade's 424 to deliver a slice of the label's Fairfax style.
Coming together for the first time, adidas and 424 streamline their design processes with this trio of minimalist sneakers. Rendered in a simple but effective colour palette of chalk, scarlet and black, the two labels redefine the SC Premiere and Pro Model 80s for a new era. Stripping back the two sneaker silhouettes' already pared back look, Guillermo Andrade's brand introduce their signature flourish of endearing simplicity to offer a street-ready edge, typified by the scarlet red detailing to the tongue of SC Premiere and the heel panel of the Pro Model. Detailed through absence, this rendition of the SC Premiere sees the sneaker stripped of its recognisable side-wall branding, offering a low-key sensibility in tune with 424's quiet sense of luxury. The Pro Model, on the other hand, features adidas' iconic three stripes in tonal leather, ensuring that the German sportswear stalwarts' legacy endures with a sophisticated stylisation. The adidas x 424 sneaker capsule is available online now via END. Launches.
