As one of Shanghai’s premier destination for top-shelf footwear, ACU has been tapped by adidas Originals to help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Superstar. For this friends-and-family affair, the team at ACU – the first shoe boutique ever opened in the city – applied traditional graphic themes of the crane, tiger, and koi, blending the three creatures onto an abstract pattern across the upper in alternate color-blocking. Further accentuating the deliberate mix-and-match theme is a reflective base, while a translucent outsole reveals the shop’s signature logo on the footbed. Each of the 100 pairs come packaged in a custom shoe-box with an elegant red wrap and gilded illustrations of the three animals. As these are intended for the friends of family of ACU, these will not be available to the public – so take a gander here.
