adidas Originals SNS GT “LA”

The adidas Originals SNS GT "LA" continues to tell the story of the original "Stockholm GT" shoe from 1980, a collectible sneaker gem that was re-introduced by SNS and is now taking it all the way to Los Angeles, paying homage to the City of Angels. Constructed with a hemp canvas upper and faux suede on the stripes and backtab, the retro silhouette's design nods to Venice Beach, SNS' home on the West Coast and the second location in the USA. The GT version is equipped with a brown colorway with Mesa-colored accents and metallic gold highlights, offering a gum rubber Handball Spezial outsole fusing archival innovation with a modern update.

The campaign stars LA-based artist Juliet Maskell, who has created a unique window installation in the SNS Venice Beach boutique.

Juliet Maskell is a painter born, raised, and living in Los Angeles. She’s interested in the relationship between urban neighborhoods and the undeveloped areas that surround and intersect them, and the ways in which we interact with both. Dirt bikes can take us to parts of LA that are unreachable by car, revealing a side of the city that only those who know it intimately have access to. In this instance, her piece is a nod to off-roading alongside springtime poppy blooms in the greater LA area.
