What's Ace about the adidas Pharell Williams Tennis Hu

By the time the adidas Hu came along; the sportswear giant's collaboration with pop star Pharell Williams had already notched up several hits. There was the colourful revamp of the Superstar range and the Human Race NMDs; with their super-soft construction. The adidas Hu sits somewhere between the two; mixing the old and the new in homage to the classic heritage sports shoe; the adidas Stan Smith. With its casual; easygoing vibe; it sold out instantly upon its first release in 2017.

Chilling Out in the adidas Pharell Williams hu

The adidas Pharell Williams tennis Hu is the quintessential lifestyle shoe; a chance to buy into the Pharell brand at an affordable price; in a style that's both wearable and understated. It might look minimalist; but it comes with subtle touches like the adidas 3-stripe to the tips of the laces; a suede tag to the tongue with the Hu logo; and Pharell's signature insole complete with reflexology diagram. The shoe doesn't have Boost cushioning; so it's more for casually picking up a racquet than for a serious five-setter.

The adidas Pharell Williams Tennis Hu Tech Specs

The main feature of the adidas tennis Hu is it's one piece prime knit upper; so stretchy you can run it through your fingers. To avoid rubbing; the laces are strung through a cord which is sewn on top of the midfoot. Although it's only standard EVA foam; the midsole is finished with a lattice effect to help with compression; and there are two hard-wearing rubber plates in the outsole for extra durability.

Unless you live in a tropical climate; you'll probably be wearing the adidas Hu as a summer shoe. It just begs to be teamed with a whole range of resort wear and packed in your bag when you go on holiday. A polo shirt and tailored shorts deliver a clean; timeless ensemble; but the high tongue to the front of the shoe also looks pretty damn good propped against the hem of a slim fit chino.
