Sneakersnstuff & Jim Jones presents: adidas Originals HRLM

SNS and adidas Originals bring back one of the mysteries of sneaker culture, a sneaker treasure hunted by collectors. After visiting the iconic adidas Archive, we realized that even there, a place that tells the history of adidas in physical form, the adidas HRLM was not to be tracked down. Initially released in limited quantities someday in the early ‘80s, the adidas HRLM has a basketball DNA, and that is all we know. To reintroduce this classic adidas sneaker, we created a contemporary, as-close-to-the-OG update that is equally relevant for collectors on the hunt for an original pair and fans of adidas trainer culture. The SNS-exclusive adidas HRLM is made with a premium leather upper featuring nubuck overlays, different shades of blue on the three stripes, and updated adidas Centennial Lo midsole to get as close to the original pair as possible. SNS tapped the perfect person to re-introduce the shoe to market - “Diplomats” legend, musician, entrepreneur, and Harlem’s own, Jim Jones. Jones was born and raised in Harlem, a founding member of Dipset and one of NYC’s most legendary rappers. For the campaign, SNS brought in photographer Gogy Esparza who shot Jones at a local studio in Harlem and then brought it outside to his local block. https://www.sneakersnstuff.com/en/editorials/sneakersnstuff-exclusive-adidas-HRLM-ID7398
