Raf Simons premiered his Spring 2017 Menswear Collection on Thursday in Florence during the Pitti Uomo shows. The collection was in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, as many of the shirts featured artwork and photographs created by the artist Mapplethorpe while he was still alive. But that wasn't the only collaboration debuted yesterday.
Raf Simons has a history of collaborating with German sportswear giant Adidas, dating back to 2013 when the first pair of Ozweegos were released from the two. Since then, Simons has followed the first silhouette with the Ozweego 2 and multiple takes on the classic Stan Smiths.
Last night, Simons stepped out in his infamous painted blue shirt and black jeans, while donning what may be the next collaboration between himself and Adidas.

Looking closely, you see that on the outside of the midsole is a trefoil logo in red bottomed with a red line on the sole of the shoe. And then, the damning evidence, the inside of the mid-sole on the left shoe features an "R-S" logo, aka Raf Simons.
I'm not privy to which Adidas model this is, but it has been awhile since Simons' took his designs onto a new sneaker. If these truly are the next release from these two fashion behemoths, stay locked into Clickege for more updates on the surely to be coveted shoes. In the meanwhile, takes a look below at a closer view of the sneakers.

UPDATE
After Four Pins quoted my tweet about these new sneakers (and said they "high key suck", which I can't disagree with), they provided another tweet featuring more RAF Simons x Adidas sneakers. Check out the other versions here and leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
