Retro Minimal MInimal Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

adidas and Sean Wotherspoon Designs a New Orketro Sneaker

— July 5, 2023 — Fashion
adidas continues working alongside Sean Wotherspoon on their ongoing partnership with the spotlight hitting the Orketro sneaker model this time around. The shoes are set to launch soon on July 7th and will be available online at the Highsnobiety shop.

The shoes are inspired by the 90s and its retro elements and notably, this is actually the most minimal sneaker collaboration by Wotherspoon yet, who is known for dynamic and bright color palettes. The Orketro has an off-white look that is made from an undyed and unfinished canvas material throughout the upper. The unfinished look makes the shoe more sustainable as it skips processes including water-intensive dyeing which actually relies a lot on a bunch of chemicals.
