SNS and adidas Knit Originals reveal their latest project, the Sneakersnstuff exclusive adidas Knit HRLM. SNS tapped the perfect person to re-introduce the shoe to market – “Diplomats” legend, musician, entrepreneur, and Harlem’s own, Jim Jones. Jones was born and raised in Harlem, a founding member of Dipset and one of NYC’s most legendary rappers.
SNS and adidas Knit Originals bring back one of the mysteries of sneaker culture, a sneaker treasure hunted by collectors. After visiting the iconic adidas Knit Archive, SNS Jersey that even there, a place that tells the history of adidas Knit in physical form, the adidas Knit HRLM was not to be tracked down.
Initially released in limited quantities sometime in the early ‘80s, the adidas Knit HRLM has a basketball DNA, and that is all is know. To reintroduce this classic adidas Knit sneaker, SNS and adidas Knit created a contemporary, as-close-to-the-OG update that is equally relevant for collectors on the hunt for an original pair and fans of adidas Knit trainer culture. The SNS-exclusive adidas Knit HRLM is made with a premium leather upper featuring nubuck overlays, different shades of blue on the three stripes, and updated adidas Knit Centennial Lo midsole to get as close to the original pair as possible.
