Adidas Originals Debuts New Soccer-Inspired Kamanda Silhouette

December 25, 2017. Leave a Comment

Adidas Originals is going all in on making bold new shoe statements, revealing a soccer-inspired shoe called Kamada. The debut version of the shoe shows a black nubuck upper with an extra-wide lacing system, all of which sits atop a striking, translucent gumsole-colored, ridged midsole.

The images here were posted on the Instagram account of @eartothestreet, who described the philosophy of the shoe at length. Describing the shoe design, he wrote, “Kamanda 01 is presented in an understated color palette with authentic references such as nubuck uppers, gold foil branding and translucent gum. A woven patch in the lining reads “world famous for quality,” referencing archival branding.”

He added, “Fusing our heritage with a new modern design language in a way that only Adidas Originals can: Kamada will reign supreme. Kamanda targets the grassroots squad who know what they want. They curate their looks, taking cues from the past and reinterpreting for today. They embrace the anti-hero, with inspiration stemming from an in-depth knowledge of music, art, sport and fashion. Kamanda stands for quality, credibility and culture.”

Check out first images of Kamada below.

KAMANDA SQUAD Kamanda is a mindset, an attitude, shared across the globe by a group of alternative individuals looking to disconnect from the mainstream. The projects foundations center around the attitude and values shared by the 80s Terrace movement and today’s global counter culture family with a focus on exclusivity, status and individuality. KAMANDA is a grassroots project that combines the new and old. It is understated yet striking, familiar yet progressive. It’s a subtle statement without the hype for those who appreciate authenticity, credibility and quality. We harness this rebellious nature and effortless cool and bring this to the people through a familiar yet progressive design handwriting. KAMANDA is a badge of honor that subtly says ‘ I KNOW’ Kamanda 01. A modern take of the brands legendary Terrace category. Introducing a globally relevant, progressive footwear style that represents a culture that @adidas owns. Kamanda 01 is presented in an understated color palette with authentic references such as nubuck uppers, gold foil branding and translucent gum. A woven patch in the lining reads ‘ world famous for quality’ referencing archival branding. Fusing our heritage with a new modern design language in a way that only adidas Originals can: KAMANDA will reign supreme. Kamanda targets the grassroots squad who know what they want. They curate their looks, taking cues from the past and reinterpreting for today. They embrace the anti-hero, with inspiration stemming from an in-depth knowledge of music, art, sport and fashion. Kamanda stands for quality, credibility and culture. Only the best materials are just good enough and progressive proportions suit the best for the new approach to Football Culture through the lens of @adidasoriginals A thx to @chriswheat and the entire team for such an impressive new concept! Brilliant! #kamanda #kamandasquad
