Adidas has been the wavemaker of style, athletic functionality, and celebrity influence since it was founded almost seven decades ago back in Germany in 1949.  The brand has been using celebrity clout to elevate their premier products from Jesse Owen's working the newly designed one-of-a-kind handmade spiked cleats in the 1936 Olympic Games, to the launch of the Yeezy brand which has inflated the reseller sneaker market, which is estimated to be $6 billion today.

Adidas has so much power, it acquired mega-star influencer Kylie Jenner as their latest brand ambassador. Jenner got quite some slack last year when she signed a deal with the rival brand, Puma, sparking a massive family feud with brother-in-law and Yeezy mastermind, Kanye West. While Jenner defended her decision to work with the brand on her own terms, we know family certainly comes first when it comes to the Kardashian Jenner Clan.

This week Kylie announced her partnership with Adidas launching her own color combo and went on Instagram to announce herself as their latest brand ambassador. Check out where Kylie's newest custom kicks end up on this list of the top 25 flyest Adidas items around the world.

Raf Simons x Adidas: Independence Day Replicant Ozweego

Raf Simons’ Adidas collab has brought us back to the 90’s with these Unisex Independence Day Ozweegos. These Adidas originals follow suit for this year’s “ugly Dad shoe” trend, which has made its way across every major fashion house in the world.

These RS Ozweegos feature cut-out panels, and gray, black, white and royal blue multi-fabric detailing to dramatize the airy cut-outs. A coral painted rubber sole adds another pop of color. Simons is always throwing something unexpected into his re-imagined styles, this makes the perfect ‘return from summer’ fall sneaker. This exclusive pair of kicks will cost you $450 retail, available for purchase at Opening Ceremony.

 Alexander Wang x Adidas Track Suit

Many designers have added their own spin to the classic three-stripe Adidas tracksuit, made famous in the late 80’s by hip-hop legends, RUN DMC. This year, Alexander Wang collaborated with the sportswear company, creating a unique red lettered strip panel down the side of the leg. The red text reads like software code within brackets with ironic “factory code” directions “<DO NOT REMOVE>” creating a three-lined stripe of text, evocative of the brand’s signature look.

These Spring/Summer’ 18 joggers are currently sold out but cost $150 retail, if you can find them in-store. To no surprise Alexander Wang (quite literally) flipped this look on its head, featuring the traditional three-flag “Trefoil” Adidas logo appearing upside down, for an added twist.

Yeezy Embroidered French Terry Hoodie

How could this list not include Yeezy exclusive items, design by the pop culture legend himself, Mr. Kanye West?

One of our favorites from Yeezy’s most recent season is his Embroidered French Terry Hoodie in a muted mustard seed yellow color labeled as “trench.” The hoodie reads on both sleeves “Calabasas” an ode to the hometown of Kanye’s Wifey, Kim Kardashian West.

The subtle pull-over sweatshirt includes a traditional pouch pocket and hood. While this may look like a souvenir hoodie you’d wear to the gym on a rainy day, this Yeezy Original will cost you $260.

Yeezy Thick Suede Desert Boot

What better to compliment the Yeezy Calabasas Trench Hoodie, than the Yeezy Desert Thick Suede Boot in ‘Taupe'? This thick suede sneaker-boot combo may look like a standard pair of Merrel’s hiking boots, but once you take a closer look at the purposeful detailing, you notice echoes of classic sneaker styles, from the suede upper toe down to leather panels and breathable mesh cuts, tubular laces, and an extra thick rubber sole.

Reportedly, these boots were inspired by classic military boots for a look of strong construction and durability. They definitely match the look and feel of Yeezy’s complete S/S’18 lookbook. Available for purchase at $295.
