words // Darren Griffin:
Although only for a short time, the question has recently been posed as to who will be the very first to collaborate with adidas on the coveted Tubular Runner. Our question is answered today as OTH becomes the first to take a stab at the Y-3 inspired inline runner from the Three Stripes. Taking to French Canadian Voyageurs of the 18th and 19th centuries, the OTH x adidas Tubular Moc Runner bears unique inspiration from endless travelers who canvassed Native American communities both on foot and by canoe. This sentiment rests well within the already moccasin inspired style, pairing a premium black leather base with visible stitching alongside a wool split tongue upper and matching heel. A vibrant blue liner plays towards the frozen lakes the voyageurs would often encountered in their travels while a pair of heavy-duty ropes laces finish the look.
An evident example of why good collaborations are still very much present, the OTH x adidas Tubular Moc Runner launches on April 25 at select retailers including Hanon.
