adidas Originals x Daniel Arsham New York – “The Past Is Present” – CM7193 – UK 10

A genuinely collectible adidas collaboration from 2017, created with acclaimed contemporary artist Daniel Arsham.

This was the first shoe from the adidas Originals x Daniel Arsham collaboration, reworking the classic adidas New York through Arsham's fascination with archaeology, decay and cultural artefacts. �

GOAT +1

Finished almost entirely in Chalk White, the shoe uses a deliberately deconstructed canvas construction with raw, frayed panel edges throughout. This distressed appearance is an intentional part of Arsham's design rather than simply wear to the trainers. �

One of the pair's best features is actually hidden: UV-reactive detailing reveals “THE PAST IS PRESENT” across the midsole when exposed to ultraviolet light, perfectly tying into Arsham's artistic concept. �
