Kazuki Kuraishi’s adidas Orignals ObyO capsule has offered a definite, if hard to define niche within Three Stripes’ lifestyle sneaker offerings. They’re not overwhealmingly ostentatious like Jeremy Scott’s designs, nor as sporty as James Bond and David Beckham’s looks, but the KZK adidas drops are as distinct as this new pair’s name. The Kazuki x adidas Originals Gipfel offers a strange moniker for a shoe whose design elements are strangely familiar. Lacking obvious similarities to preexisting adidas models, the Gipfel is something like a cross between the Top Ten and a sole that might make you think of the Air Jordan III sans Air. All at once conventional and brand-new, the adidas Gipfel will be available at select adidas Originals retailers soon. via SdG
