The German firm enlisted Raf Simons to design its Autumn/Winter 2015 menswear collection in Paris featuring moonboots – the ‘Ozweego Robot’ and the ‘Response Trail Robot’.

 

In a statement, Adidas, said the trainers were: “Inspired by vintage astronaut suits and backpacks, moulded and machined details similar to authentic closures, zippers and straps are added. Shiny versus matte distressed materials complete the look of outer space.”

 

The trainers are set to be released this summer.
