mastermind Japan has been a frequent collaborative partner with Reebok, Vans, and adidas tubular over the past handful of years, and it isn’t too hard to see why with their premium black leather aesthetic matching the intimidating skull and crossbones logo for a fierce dose of subtle simplicity. While we’ve gotten word that the mastermind Japan adidas NMD XR1 is coming to retailers later this Fall 2016 season, that won’t be all that the Japanese lifestyle imprint will be cooking up with the three stripes.
The adidas original nmd utilizes a monochromatic “Core Black” colorway with a brand new herringbone pattern on the neoprene overlaying straps to differentiate the numerous panels for a head-turning look. A premium suede hits the heel and side panel overlay to honor the original Tubular model from 1993 while contrasting adidas trefoil branding hits the tongue tab. For those looking for a lighter pair, there’s also a “Vintage White” offering headed to retailers this weekend as well. The inverted colorway also features herringbone patterns throughout while an underlying woven construction brings comfort and breathability with ease.
The mastermind adidas m attitude up will undoubtedly be the main draw here, as the protective outer cage is revamped through the use of premium leather to match the heel. The jet black colorway is indicative of mastermind’s signature ominous aesthetic while contrasting white hits the Boost midsole and all skull and crossbones branding. That being said, you have to give mastermind some props for adding a unique twist to the seldom seen adidas Tubular Instinct. One of the afterthoughts in the entire Tubular lineup gets a Vans-like zipper construction on the heel in-line with past collaborations from the Japanese brand with the Sk8-Hi LX. A premium black leather upper adds a touch of luxury while a blown up skull and crossbones logo matches the heel.
Today we get a much better look at the upcoming collaboration thanks to new images from Hypebeast. The mastermind Japan x adidas pro model features a black Primeknit upper and a white Boost midsole. Mastermind Japan branding has been added on the tongue, side panel cages, and on the heel. Next we have the mastermind Japan x adidas Tubular Instinct which takes on a black leather upper with white detailing on the back half of the midsole and the mastermind Japan branding on the tongue and ankle.
