Adidas Originals x Pharrell Williams = Tennis Hu

May 04, 2017

Pharell has an innate ability to both construct and tell a story, and after last year's collaboration with Adidas and the "Hu" collection, the songwriter and iconic shoe brand are back with the Tennis Hu.

Constructed using flexible Primeknit, and featuring a lightweight EVA midsole and a suede tab with the Adidas Originals insignia, the Tennis Hu borrows components from a modern, lightweight runner and casts them on a casual tennis model.

As is characteristic of Pharrell through his history of brand collaborations, the storytelling and strong narrative doesn't stop there. With colorways based off of two of Adidas' most iconic models, the Stan Smith and 1970's court classic the Forest Hill, the Tennis Hu is infused with the singer's rich experiences from traveling to all corners of the world this past year. All the best collaborative sneakers come with a story.

The Tennis Hu will be available at adidas retail stores, e-commerce and select retail partners starting May 6. The shoes retail at $130.

VEJA and Magliano Rework the Panenka

February 26, 2026

There’s something inherently nostalgic about football footwear. The scuffed leather, the folded tongues, the idea that performance and personality once shared the same surface. With its latest collaboration, VEJA taps into that memory and hands it over to Magliano to rework, and make its own.

Drawing from vintage football boots, the silhouette leans into Magliano’s instinct for unconventional tailoring. A folded tongue sits across the upper, referencing classic boots while subtly shifting how the shoe functions and feels. Made from a single perforated piece, the flap introduces asymmetric lacing, turning a familiar detail into something deliberately off-balance.

That sense of play carries through in the styling. There's three sets of interchangeable laces to go with the three different colorways: black with cream accents, white with sharp black contrast, and a pearlescent pink.

Through all of this, the Panenka emerges with a new personality.
