adidasRaf Simons x adidas Adilette Checkerboard 'Black Lemon'

A raised checkerboard band gives the Raf Simons x adidas Adilette Checkerboard 'Black Lemon' (B22529) its standout look. This men's slide keeps the open, slip-on format of the Adilette, pairing a graphic lemon upper with a core black base. The lemon band has a raised square-grid surface and crosses the top of the foot; the footbed and sole are core black. The two-tone design keeps the checkerboard pattern as the focal detail of the slide. Adi Dassler developed the Adilette, which debuted in 1972 as a shower slide for the German national football team. Its design followed concern about players walking barefoot in shared showers. The original sole used suction pads to help prevent slipping.
