Pharrell's New Human Race Sneakers Have Unique Color Contrasts
Riley von Niessen — April 7, 2017 — Fashion
Pharrell joined with adidas Originals yet again to release a fresh pair of Human Race sneakers. The sneakers were leaked on the Instagram page of a popular user known as @sneakerprophet_.
The image that teases the new Human Race sneakers shows off the unique colorway, with the low-top model positioned against a textured blueish gray backdrop. What stands out first on the sneakers is the brightly colored soles, which have a snakeskin-like pattern. This is created by splotches of coral on the otherwise pink midsoles, along with diamond texturing that helps to provide a little more variance. The uppers are a light hue of beige in contrast, and sport deep turquoise accents on the heels, as well as black and gray laces.
