André Saraiva has spent decades writing his Mr. A character, a top-hatted cartoon figure, across city walls, and adidas built a 2022 capsule around him that ran from the Stan Smith to the Superstar. This is the junior version, and it uses the 360 build rather than a laced one: a stretchy Core Black textile upper, made in part from recycled content, that pulls straight on over the foot. Cream White picks out the serrated Three-Stripes against the black, and the rubber shell toe is moulded on the front exactly as it is on the adult model.
The grown-up pairs in the same capsule leaned on a yellowed sole and an exposed foam tongue for a worn-in look; the kids pairs traded that for a shoe small feet can get into alone. It released July 16, 2022 at $60.
