Launching this Saturday 10th April is probably the mosr special Adidas Consortium project of the year so far – The Unforseen Pack. The pack features some of the archives most sought after silhouettes, re-worked with special materials and features to create a collection of truly unforeseen kicks. The drop sees fresh interpretations of three all-time archival favorites, namely, the Campus, Gazelle and Spezial.

The history of the Campus has been comprehensively documented – from its balling origins to historical hip-hop staple – most iterations of the Campus have been covered so it’s refreshing to see such an unexpected and well executed take.

At first glance this looks like an all-white, premium leather version of the shoe, albeit subtly Consortium branded. But flip the lights and the Unforeseen becomes well and truly seen as the whole glow in the dark aspect of this version is revealed.

Finished with an embossed Consortium logo on the tongue, this is truly the Campus for all occasions.

From its initial release in 1968 the Gazelle has been a firm favourite of style conscious casuals to b-boys to indie kids and jazz heads.

The shape of the silhouette is still instantly recognisable, from the streamlined shape to the simple styling and flat sole and simple upper.

Featuring a navy, rip-stop nylon upper sat on a translucent midsole, the 3-Stripes are in also in matching navy while contrast is provided in the form of flamingo Adidas Gazelle branding on the upper and the laces.

Finished with an embossed Consortium logo on the tongue, it’s the perfect colourway and silhouette for the upcoming warmer months.

Originally conceived as a handball shoe, the Spezial made its first appearance in 1979 as a lightweight shoe perfect for a range of indoor sports. Today the Spezial has transcended its original athletic purpose to become a sought after model in its own right.

This version features the four-zone sole construction on the outsole from the OG model while the upper switches things up considerably with a forest green, textile upper offset with contrasting leather 3-Stripes and heel tab.

Finished with an embossed combination Trefoil and Consortium logo on the tongue it’s an unexpected and welcome return for the Spezial.

The Unforseen Pack will launch online and at our Hunting Co. store this Saturdat – 10th April.

When it comes to the Stan Smith there is no questioning the popularity and overall impact the model has had since it was first released by Adidas in 1965. Getting given the treatment by a slew of collaborators over the last decade has meant a number of make-ups of the Stan Smith have been available, with varying degrees of impact.

The Stan Smith Mid though, hasn’t born the brunt of attention like its lower cut sibling, leaving room for some killer variations on the collaboration front. This joint effort, named ‘Raw Dogs’ sees OG New York based street-wear brand 10.Deep sprinkle some of their style on the Stan Smith Mid to produce a version worthy of both brand’s combined heritage.  The name plays off the rawhide laces and graphical monster mouth sock-liner while taking inspiration from the ongoing series of sticker attack tees from 10.Deep.

The upper is constructed from a premium suede in a muted Iron and Chrome colourway that reflects the 10.Deep motto – ‘forget everyone and listen to yourself’ – a motto that is reflected in further features including an embroidered 10.Deep and adidas tongue tag and an oversized embossed 10.Deep logo on the medial side of each upper.

Finished with an embossed combination 10.Deep and Trefoil logo on the heel-tab, the minimal, well thought out branding is the ideal accompaniment to the matching design aesthetic of the Stan Smith.

The Adidas x 10.Deep ‘Raw Dogs’ Stan Smith Mid launches at End on Saturday 10th April.
