adidas x Rick Owens New Runner Low - Now Online

Perhaps the most important news in sneaker culture this week is the announcement that Rick Owens and adidas will be ending their footwear collaboration at the end of 2017.

Following a four-year partnership, which has seen the two brands pioneer some of the most iconic silhouettes in recent sneaker history, a representative from Owenscorp confirmed that both parties had reached an amicable decision to bring the collaboration to a natural conclusion.

This announcement makes discussion of the latest collaborative product bittersweet, with the looming conclusion likely to ignite further interest and discussion around the four-year legacy the futuristic sneaker releases lay claim to.

Returning for one of the last releases from the partnership, this bold pair of New Runners comes in a bright neon colourway. Innovative to the end, this latest drop steps away from the usual monochrome aesthetic of this partnership.

Committed to releasing fresh iterations of signature futuristic styles, constructed with innovative materials and detailing, the new Runner Low features premium leather and knitted textile uppers atop a tonal exaggerated rubber sole unit - a feature that has become synonymous with the Owens brand aesthetic.
