adidas x Pharell Williams Tennis Hu Stan Smith Pastel Pack - Now Online

The 10 pair 'Summer Pack' canonises the Tennis Hu as a contemporary icon, pairing each colourway with a corresponding Stan Smith.

Renowned musician and designer Pharrell Williams turns his hand to footwear design again this season, creating a summer ready pastel pack in his latest release with adidas.

The 10 pair 'Summer Pack' canonises the Tennis Hu as a contemporary icon, pairing each colourway with a corresponding Stan Smith.

Placing the newer Tennis Hu silhouette on an equal footing with the internationally acclaimed Stan Smith sneaker is a bold move from adidas. Testament to their belief in Pharrell Williams' silhouette, adidas are laying the ground work for the Tennis Hu to take its place in the footwear hall of fame with this symbolic comparison.

A bold silhouette, the Tennis Hu takes inspiration from elements of the classic Stan Smith and remixes them for a modern, design conscious consumer.

Combining the clean profile of a court shoe with the proportions of a runner, the Tennis Hu sits atop a grid-patterned EVA mid and rubber outsole.

Celebrating the ‘hues of humanity’, the pastel pack features a sock-like fit, cut from breathable mesh and includes pops of colour on the rubber outsole inserts. A Pharrell Williams Hu equal sign logo stands out on the heel and tongue label and signs each pair off with a seal of approval from both halves of this powerful collaboration.

A shoe that needs no introduction, these iterations of the iconic Stan Smith from adidas come in a range of pastel colours with each style sitting in perfect harmony with their Tennis Hu counterpart in corresponding colourway.

Debuted in the ‘70s as a pro-level tennis trainer, this pastel interpretation updates this legendary design with a fresh hue to tumbled leather uppers. Sitting atop a tonal rubber sole unit, this release is finished with logo branding to the heel and tongue and features the classic 3-stripes perforation insignia on the side walls.
