He's only just been crowned Calvin Klein's new chief creative officer, overseeing the direction of everything from the brand's fashion to fragrance portfolio, but the former Dior CD hasn't been having a well-deserved break - instead, he's been busy designing sneakers for Adidas.
Simons is a famed fan of the brand's iconic Stan Smiths, so it's no surprise his latest collection includes a Raf-ified take on the design: the Raf Simons Stan Smith Comfort replaces laces with three Velcro straps, with a perforated letter 'R' on the sides. We want these very much.
Other designs include the Raf Simons Matrix Spirit, which the designer donned for his own-label spring '17 show in Florence, in colourful high top and low top versions. The Raf Simons x Adidas A/W '16-17 collection drops in select Adidas stores globally this month.
