adidas and Pharrell’s Tennis HU Returns with a Primeknit Upgrade for SS18

A firm feature in adidas’ roster of collaborators from across the globe, musician, producer and style influencer Pharrell Williams presents his latest footwear capsule with the 3 Stripes, encompassing two contrasting styles of his minimal Tennis HU sneaker.

Based on adidas’ ever-popular Stan Smith tennis shoe, mixed with the DNA of modern running sneakers, the Tennis HU boasts engineered Primeknit uppers for a comfortable sock-like fit, coming in a choice of the ever-popular ‘Oreo’ monochrome pattern, or a multi-coloured option that echoes Williams’ personal style.

Both pairs come set atop a lightweight moulded EVA sole unit with an all-over waffle pattern, and are finished with branding labels to the tongue and heel, as well as custom HU illustrations to the sockliner. Designed to be a lightweight, comfortable go-to sneaker for everyone, the Tennis HU is sure to be your new favourite footwear companion as summer approaches.

The adidas Pharrell William Tennis HU Primeknit in both black/white and multicolour options will be available instore and online on March 2nd from Aphrodite Clothing.

adidas x Pharrell Williams Tennis Hu | Pastel Pack | Releasing 10th of August

Pharrell Williams is a busy man: between performing and featuring in a seemingly endless parade of hit songs, it’s surprising that he has time for anything else. But fortunately for us he’s managed to maintain a fruitful creative relationship with German sportswear giants adidas, with the latest result being the Tennis Hu sneaker.

Taking the bestselling Stan Smith tennis shoe as the inspiration, the Tennis Hu boasts a simple yet effective design, with a one-piece bootee-fit upper in neoprene and mesh, lacing loops and colourful co-branded heel and tongue overlays, all sat atop a lightweight grid-pattern EVA sole unit with coloured rubber outsole blocks to the heel and forefoot for extra traction. It’s a modern, minimalist interpretation of a classic, and is just as versatile, working equally well with relaxed streetwear as it does with heavily washed jeans and streetwear staples.

Pick up the adidas x Pharrell Williams Tennis Hu in both Solar Pink and Green Glow colourways from August 10th at Aphrodite Clothing.
