Former Yeezy designer Dingyun Zhang has formed his own partnership with adidas, and is releasing his second capsule collection next week. The project will debut a brand new tech runner silhouette; the Kouza.
Dingyun Zhang is the sneaker designer behind some of the wildest and most interesting sneaker silhouettes from Yeezy over the last decade. Zhang helped bring some pivotal silhouettes like the 700 and Foam RNNR to life, but has since moved on from his work at Yeezy to create his own eponymous clothing line. This year, he launched his own partnership with adidas, so far drafting a unique new take on the iconic Samba. However, next week’s release of a new capsule collection brings us something brand new.
The new Kouza silhouette from adidas Originals is making its debut in the new project with Zhang. It is currently unclear if this is a signature silhouette for the designer or a new model coming down the line. The shoe features a breathable mesh upper with a large cade and heel counter for added support, and a brand new midsole tooling that features LightStrike cushioning. Two colors will be available at launch, one in all black with blue laces and a second granite grey with lime green accents.
