The 326 in the shoe’s name, which is also printed across its ankle flaps, is a nod to her birthday (and to a portrait tattoo of Vada Cudi has on his neck). Cudi crafted the shoe as a tribute to his daughter Vada, who was born in 2010. Called the Vadawam 326, the sneaker will be dropping later this month. Didn’t a fashion trail-blazer like Cudi deserve something a little more…Cudi?Īs it turns out, the Artillery Hi was something of a soft launch, with Cudi’s newly revealed mainstage adidas debut actually drawing direct influence from that silhouette-among other things. Adidas collaborators tend to start their partnerships off with a bang, often reimagining classic silhouettes like the Samba, or swinging for the fences with new, inventive silhouettes. Still, it was a strange start to a partnership as high-profile as this. Rather than create a new silhouette or apply Cudi’s eye for the zany to a classic Three Stripes sneaker, they reached into the brand’s archives to reissue an old-school basketball sneaker made famous by Grant Hill and slacker movie icons Bill & Ted. When Adidas and Kid Cudi dropped the first sneaker of their official partnership last month, it was a bit of a head-scratcher (in a good way).
