Deconstructed Artful Sandals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Craig Green Works Together with adidas on a Unique Sandal

— July 27, 2023 — Fashion
adidas Originals works in collaboration with Craig Green on a new footwear silhouette for the summer season. It was unveiled during the designer's double collection of Fall/Winter 2023 and Spring/Summer 2024 looks. This was to mark the milestone of the brand's ten-year anniversary. Green is known as a designer who is an expert in the art of “not-quite deconstruction."

The shoes appear to be deconstructed in ways that push creative boundaries, appearing to be a dynamic sandal for the summer season. It is defined by strappy details throughout and branding can be seen on the back in a contrasting tone in the form of the adidas Trefoil logo. It can also be seen over the forefoot as well to round it all out.
