These days, there are more individual options from almost as many brands that you can choose to deliver a legendary sneaker–but at the end of the day it always seems to come down to a battle between the one star, three stripes and the swoosh for sneaker dominance. The latest advancement in your footwear game comes from adidas and London-born designer Craig Green with the Kontuur 1 Sneakers you see here. This silhouette blends the artist’s signature whimsy and dramatic style with a quilted design and adidas Kamanda outsole to create a pair of shoes that is equal parts inventive, texture-rich and unique while still feeling like it belongs in the three stripes lexicon of memorable kicks. The adidas Craig Green Kontuur 1 Sneakers are available in black or blue colorways from adidas, Kith, or Footshop, but sizes and options are limited.
