adidas and Song For The Mute bring back a 2000s icon with a stealthy, textural take on the Adistar Cushion. As part of the SS25 – 25.1 “Desert Rose” collection, this limited-edition release reflects the Sydney-based label’s focus on material play and experimental design.
The blacked-out mesh upper lays the foundation, layered with wavy synthetic overlays and a nubuck cage that features a stitched centre seam for added depth. A pony hair toe cap disrupts the smooth look, introducing a raw, organic feel. Subtle 3-Stripes branding blends into the sidewalls, offset by embroidered white lines and an SFTM-004 tag for an understated co-branded touch. On the tongue, handwritten-style branding enhances the vintage aesthetic, while mismatched sockliner labels reinforce the deconstructed theme.
Comfort remains key, with adiPRENE+ cushioning in the forefoot and regular adiPRENE in the heel, ensuring impact protection and responsiveness. A supportive plastic bar sits beneath the foot for added stability, while the rubber outsole provides durability and grip.
With its collapsible construction and distressed midsole, this version of the Adistar Cushion blurs the line between archival tech and modern fashion. Expect this exclusive drop to hit select retailers and adidas online soon. Given its limited availability, this one won’t be around for long.
