The Raf Simons x Adidas Ozweego, the Ultimate Ugly Sneakers


Since 2013 Raf Simons and adidas have been delighting us with some of the most exclusive launches in the world, especially with Detorit Runner and Ozweego lines.

The original Ozweego was released by Adidas in the late 1990s, and truthfully Raf Simons' take shares little with the OG other than the name. They aren't just a replica of a vintage sneaker re-issued for today—they're a genuinely novel, thoughtful, elevated take. Raf's version doesn't even have Adidas's three-stripe design on the side panel, and they were a hit. Today, "ugly sneaker" is synonymous with Balenciaga's Triple S, or maybe even Kanye West's Yeezy 700. But Adidas and Raf are still churning out Ozweegos in new colorways—and there's perhaps no better no version than this.
Just like Ozweego, Detroit Runner is also based on aesthetics for which Simons has been named Designer of the Year in 2017, utilizing the latest adidas technology. With a canvas upper and rubber midsole, the result is a shoe that contains the most personality of the moment.
