Why indeed Adidas.
Yeah that's right, the anniversary of a club that no longer exists and is now poncey "executive apartments" is being celebrated in a new collab with Adidas to mark the opening of the first Y-3 store. How very depressing that a club built on enthusiasm for new music, the innovative music of Joy Division/New Order and the genius of Peter Saville's design is being celebrated by such as piece of piss poor opportunism.
It's a sad state of affairs alright and tells you all you need to know about the imagination of Adidas. £350 for a pair of grey Adidas running shoes? Still, at least they come in a natty lil box in the shape of the Hac's dance floor, eh. And all this only a few weeks after Tony Wilson died.

The collective has teamed up with Vans to drape their classic silhouettes in their pastry print. The sneakers are somewhat modified from their OG materials.
