Raf Simons is no stranger to the adidas Originals Stan Smith, with the perforated 'R' side panels selling out every season, making them some of the most sought after kicks for adidas/Raf fans, season after season. For his latest Stan Smith collaboration the designer is pushing the boundaries, again.

This time Simons takes the famous Three Stripes and reworks them as velcro bands with added buckle detailing, putting a twist on the otherwise minimalist silhouette. The luxury straps are a nod to Raf’s love for the old-school Velcro Stan Smiths. The rest of the shoe features premium black Italian leather with 'Raf Simons' embossed on the lower heel panel and all-black laces which brings more emphasis on the white velcro. 

The Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith is available now on the Caliroots webstore for €299.90 (£228)
