adidas’ New Prophere Kicks are Made for the Street – Here’s How

Sneakerheads, take a break from browsing Highsnobiety’s Instagram feed and say hello to the Prophere – the latest street-worthy kicks on the block, and the pride and joy of adidas Originals. Having debuted on Dec 15, the new silhouette is, as adidas puts it, “designed to disrupt the mainstream” – a pretty accurate description if you ask us.
Combining the slickest, most garish styles of 2017, rolling it into a ball and kicking it into 2018, the new Prophere is set to be the trendsetter of the year ahead, and it’s not difficult to see why. Its key feature is a bold silhouette with a sculpted midsole in a dynamic texture – making it look less shoe and more architectural marvel.
And it just looks damn cool to begin with; especially when you pair it with the rest of adidas Orginals’ range of street wear. Here are some examples:
Ladies:
1. The Baller

Trefoil Boyfriend Tee – $49, Pants – $99, Velvet Vibes Hoodie Track Jacket – $126.75
Track top, sweatpants, and t-shirt – an easy-to-slip-on outfit for a casual day out, with a bit of Hip Hop swag thrown in too.
2. The Missy Elliot

Passaredo Tee – $55, Passaredo Leggings – $49, Passaredo Track Jacket – $109
Print on print on print, can’t go wrong with that. Plus, the Prophere adds a nice visual compromise as well.
3. The Sporty Chick

Who says full-length dresses can’t be street-worthy? Deck this out with the Prophere and you’re all set to go.
Men:
1. The Adventurer

There’s a little bit of a “camo” look going on here, without going too full-blown army, and those prints are just dope.
2. The Quirky Lad

Winter Shirt – $89, Pharrell Williams Hu Hiking Cargo Pants – $299
Simple, made for the street, yet unique enough not to be put in the “basic” category – a real winning outfit, especially with the Prophere.
3. The Swag Man 

EQT Bold 2.0 Track Jacket – $130, EQT Bold Tee – $55
Black and white, all day and night – that’s the motto of anyone who will deck this slick monochrome outfit.
So, you see that the Prophere takes like a duck to water when it comes to matching with other adidas Originals outfits (it wouldn’t really make sense if it didn’t). Considering it is relatively affordable at $200, it’s set to become the must-cop item of 2018, especially since Yeezy’s are unfortunately still pretty much inaccessible for the majority of the population.
If you’re interested in scoring a pair, you can get one now at select adidas Originals stores and other retailers like Limited Edt, Pedder on Scotts, Seek Official, Trendz, The Social Foot, AW LAB, and online via adidas’ website.
