Kid Cudi Announces adidas Originals Shoe, the Futuristic Vadawam 326
Named after Kid Cudi’s daughter, Vada.
Kid Cudi and adidas Originals reveal the latest installment in their ongoing partnership, a futuristic sneaker silhouette dubbed Vadawam 326. Named after the rapper’s daughter, Vada, the shoe is an innovative twist on classic basketball sneakers from the ’90s.
The Vadawam 326 is sneaker-boot hybrid, featuring a high-top cut and criss-cross velcro straps. A smooth leather upper is offset by suede contrast paneling, while 326 — a reference to Vada’s birthday — is stamped at the lateral collar. Protective overlays at the heel lend themselves to the sneaker’s sci-fi feel. Two colorways, “Core Black/Night Grey/Solar Pink” and “Core White/Ecru Tint/Easy Yellow,” offer light and dark options.
The Kid Cudi x adidas Originals Vadawam 326 retails for $180 USD and launches at the adidas website on December 17.
