Unveiled on November 23rd via social media with the caption “Social Status Only. 3020 Pairs.,” the North Carolina institution’s adidas Ultra 4D has finally been given a December 4th launch date. The inspiration behind the pair’s widely-praised tri-color palette has also been revealed.

Unlike its special edition Converse Chuck 70, the forthcoming proposition looked towards the past instead of the future for its muse. The wheat-tone base and its accompanying orange and olive hues were transplanted from the Renaissance, and chosen as a nod to Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” (1503). While the pair has yet to pass the test of 517 years like the aforementioned painting, its well-thought-out color combination works in tandem with the Three Stripes’ futuristic proposition for an arrangement also worthy of a “classic” distinction.
