Since his induction to the rap game, Big Sean<\/strong> has been stealing the show on guest verses and keeping it cutting edge with the visuals. His bravado on stage mixed with his spanning spectrum of style got him noticed by adidas Originals back in 2012, eventually leading to a string of sought after sneaker collabs. As Sean and the Three Stripes prepare to launch this weekend’s Oahu-inspired Metro Attitude, we take a look back at the official adidas releases that have donned Sean Don’s styling.<\/p>\n

Big Sean x adidas Pro Model II “Detroit Player”<\/h2>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> December 1, 2012<\/p>\n

Post all-red Louis Vuitton Dons but pre-“Red October” or “Legend of the Summer” sneakers, Big Sean proved to be right on trend with the “Detroit Player” adidas Pro Model II. Making the most of the bold motif before it was the move all over the market, this all-red rendition kept it classy with Italian leather composition, debossed snake print and premium suede trim. Golden debrays relayed royal, while “Memories” quote \u201cI say I\u2019m still dreaming bigger than I\u2019m living\u201d tagged the interior, starting a standard for his upcoming kicks.<\/p>\n

These were super hard to get. Only 380 pairs launched worldwid, releasing online at adidas, in-store at the Originals store in SoHo and at Puffer Reds in Ypsilanti prior to his homecoming concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills. They ran $160 a pop and sold for much more after selling out.<\/p>\n

Big Sean x adidas Pro Model II “All-Black”<\/h2>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> August 31, 2013<\/p>\n

The “Detroit Player” Pro Models were a tough act to follow. Taking a sharp right, the Big Sean x adidas Pro Model II “All-Black” proved easier to wear and easier to get. Embossed snakeskin pattern on the upper and rich suede accents carried over from the previous pair, while an all-black colorway registered as quieter but also tougher.<\/p>\n

The packaging was on-point, depicting a map of Detroit as a nod to Sean’s home. Similar styling appeared on the insoles, with the quote “Nothing Is Stopping You” and “HOF” debrays coinciding with his Hall of Fame<\/em> album. This collabo released online at adidas and nationwide at select boutiques the weekend after the album dropped.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Big Sean x adidas Metro Attitude<\/h2>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> September 13, 2014<\/p>\n

Less city more pretty, the Big Sean x adidas Metro Attitude moved from the industrial tones that styled his previous pair to tell the story of the scenic studio where he became a star. Inspired by his recording sessions in Hawaii with Kanye and crew, this colorway pulls from the black sand beaches and floral beauty of the island. Fern graphics grace the packaging and drawstring bag, matching apparel of similar styling.<\/p>\n

Lyrics from Sean’s song “First Chain” stamp the insole in gold, reading \u201cMy dreams stopped being dreams when I turned \u2018em into goals.\u201d Like the “All-Black” Pro Models before, this pair will be available at select boutiques nationwide as well as online at adidas.<\/p>\n
