The sneaker community was in a frenzy earlier today when Pharrell Williams<\/strong> and adidas Originals<\/strong> released the\u00a0highly anticipated Hu collection<\/a>. Comprised of re-imagined NMD styles that celebrate humanism and cultural diversity around the world, the offering hit home with not only what Williams holds most dear, but where our greatest strength as a people lies – within one another.<\/p>\n

Williams’ run with adidas has been unlike any other. Thus, his “OTHER” moniker rings true, fortifying a promise of originality and purpose that extends from his music to his designs. Since signing with the three stripes back in March 2014, his unparalleled impact has been instrumental in the brand’s global overtaking.<\/p>\n

Given the adoration the Hu collection received today, for the latest edition of Snkrs Day Throwback Thursday we take a look back at Skateboard P’s best adidas Originals releases during his short but fruitful tenure.<\/p>\n

Pharrell x Billionaire Boys Club x adidas Originals Stan Smith “Pony Hair”<\/h2>\n

Release Date: November 2015<\/p>\n

Long before Pharrell was designing and wearing products with three stripes, he was anchoring his own brand – Billionaire Boys Club. He merged the two in fall of 2015 when he released these “Pony Hair” iterations of the Stan Smith<\/a>. Williams smartly tied the shoe back to BBC glory by implementing the outfit’s famous \u201cDiamonds & Dollar Signs\u201d prints, effectively bridging the gaps between street and sportswear.<\/p>\n

Pharrell x adidas Originals Stan Smith “Tennis” Pack<\/h2>\n

Release Date: October 2014<\/p>\n

Roughly six months after signing with adidas, and the release of his introductory “Solids” pack, Williams explored the essence of the Stan Smith with his “Tennis” pack. Electing for fluorescent shades on two of the three styles, felt-like uppers restored excitement to the low-cut style as Williams continued to explores the brand archive before branching out to new silhouettes like the Elastic Slip-on and Elastic Lace Up that he would create later.<\/p>\n Pharrell x adidas Originals Stan Smith Tennis Pack\n Pharrell x adidas Originals Stan Smith Tennis Pack\n Pharrell x adidas Originals Stan Smith Tennis Pack\n

Pharrell x adidas Originals Stan Smith “Jacquard” Pack<\/h2>\n

Release Date: May 2015<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly one of our generation’s best dressed and greatest style influencers given his penchant to take bountiful sartorial leaps, Williams has always been one to play with\u00a0prints brimming with vibrancy. The “Jacquard” Pack was his best effort at transitioning that side of his personal aesthetic to footwear. There were other attempts like the Stan Smith “Polka Dot” Pack that, in earnest were serviceable, but certainly not his best work. Here, though,\u00a0Pharrell cleverly leaned on vintage floral patterns sourced in\u00a0Paris\u2019 March\u00e9 Saint-Pierre, located at the foot of Montmartre\u2019s Sacre-Coeur. The limited edition release was a triumph, and a confidence gainer for Williams and adidas to take greater liberties moving forward.<\/p>\n

Pharrell x adidas Originals Superstar “Supercolor” Collection<\/h2>\n

Release Date: March 2015<\/p>\n

Arguably Pharrell’s crowing release with adidas Originals prior to today’s Hu Collection, everything surrounding the Superstar<\/a> “Supercolor” release is memorable. First, there was the now iconic image of P sitting in the middle of all 50 pairs. Holding up one finger, chains dangling from his neck, and a signature brim perched atop his head, the image would be shared millions of times. It birthed a healthy excitement for the new partnership, and gave fans a glimpse into the mind of one of our most prolific creators.<\/p>\n

Although subtle on the surface, the Supercolor pack was another way for Williams to unify through design. A concept often spoken to life by another adidas partner Kanye West, when we look the same, we tend to be treated and cared for the same. So aside from helping reintroducing the Superstar during an anniversary year, Pharrell succeeded in connecting people through color and energy.<\/p>\n
