Adidas Originals Run DMC Pack - Fall/Winter 2013

Adidas Originals Run DMC Pack

Adidas Originals is preparing to launch an all-new Run DMC collection next month.

Highlighting the collection is the limited edition Run DMC Superstar 80s, complete with a printed leather sockliner, regular and fat lacing and elastic tongue construction. The style allows wearers to emulate the Queens trio by wearing the shoes without laces. The new Run DMC Pack will hit adidas.com and adidas retailers in a limited capacity in September.

Run-DMC x adidas Originals Superstar 80s – ‘Meet DMC’ Events

Dookie ropes, sleve-rolled blazers, leg warmers and shoulder pads are the kinds of fashion cues more commonly seen in costume or ironic form these days than during their mid-’80s heyday, and that just goes to show how perfect of a design the adidas Originals Superstar ’80s really was/is. Now a quarter-century after its debut, the Superstar shelltoes get a special nod from The Brand with the Three Stripes, this new release commemorating the pioneering rap group who broke ground both musically and in collaborative marketing. The Run-D.M.C Superstars are set to release this Friday, which means that shortly after Darryl McDaniels arrives at Dr. Jays Harlem, it’ll be 11:11 on 11/11/11. DMC will then follow that appearance with another stop at the adidas Originals flagship at 5pm.

Adidas Superstar + Run DMC My adidas 25th Anniversary

DMC may have eschewed the voice that made him famouse, Jam Master Jay may no longer be with us and Run may be hocking a different line of products all together but their ode to adidas still stands as one of hip hop’s brightest moments. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the tunes release adidas will be pushing out a special edition of the Superstar in Black / White that comes with a few special surprises in the form of a lacelock and redesigned packaging. Look for them to hit select retailers on November 11th. - via kicksonfire.com
