Craig Green Adds a Translucent Element to the adidas Squash Polta AKH

Craig Green is not one to dilly dally when it comes to designing footwear, he jumps straight in, creating wild concepts that satisfy both capital-F fashion enthusiasts and sneakerheads alike. Over the past few years, the London-based designer has forged a close relationship with adidas, working across a slew of models such as the Kamanda and Polta AKH II. Next up for the duo is a translucent Squash Polta AKH shoe with interesting illusive panelling.

For this Squash Polta AKH colab, Craig Green looked to reimagine the 1988 Squash shoe from the adidas archives. A mix of synthetic materials have been used, alongside suede and leather, covering the toe box, rear and lining. The rest of the panels are made up on nylon, each features pastel hues, allowing the translucent midsection to pop!

The Craig Green x adidas Squash Polta AKH in ‘Cream White’ will release at select retailers including END. on July 27.
