This Friday 13th August sees the launch of one of the most anticipated ranges of the year – Adidas Originals by Originals x Kakuzi Autumn 2010. Long-term ObyO partner Kazuki Kuraishi continues to lead Tokyo’s latest trends in streetwear fashion, combining them with technical elements in a wearable manner that makes the line stand out from the crowd.
This season Kazuki has also teamed up with Tokyo-based brands Neigborhood and WHIZ Ltd, along with Japanese DJ and artist Mintos, who have brought their own ideas to the collection. Seasonal highlights within apparel include Kazuki’s Light Jacket, a fully seam-taped 3-dimensional silhouette construction using a waterproof 2L Diaplex fabric as well as waterproof zippers. The collection also included fully Neighborhood branded premium hoodys, tees and tech chino pants, all set to become future collectors items.
The footwear range distinguishes itself with new models in Fall/Winter 2010 such as the ZX KZK, with a hybrid moccasin upper silhouette, and a special winterized version based on the Adidas Forum incorporating the graphic element from the shell jacket. The Campus 80s remains a favorite sneaker model, in a fresh design coming in two colourways this season, together with the Campus 80s featuring WHIZ Ltd. The LUKER by Neighborhood Superstar is however the star of the collection. Finished with either a black or white upper, and with full LUKER by Neighborhood and Adidas dual branding, this is a style set to sell out and fall into the realms of Adidas folk law.
This season Kazuki has also worked on a full Kids collection to sit alongside the menswear range, with matching tees and trainers.
The range is set to launch online on Friday 13th August at 00:00 BST. We have some key looks and preview images below, and will be releasing further product images and range information over the next week running up to the launch.
