It’s impossible to overstate just how important a tailor Henry Poole is. The Savile Row stalwart isn’t just the tailor to the stars but they created the modern Tuxedo! That was all the way back in the mid-1800s and the shop has remained pretty much the same since. Except of course that now they have launched sneakers.

Pairing up with adidas Originals, Henry Poole has revealed two pairs of sneakers for the sartorially savvy to salivate over. Both shoes take the eighties-style NMD as their base, incorporating elements of traditional bespoke tailoring to set the limited editions apart.

Inspired by Henry Poole’s famous flannel suits. The upper of the NMD R2 uses chalk-stripe fabric with a dash of dandyish claret and a Cundey Weave lining in red – the signature lining of a Henry Poole suit.

The old traditionalists on The Row may gasp in horror at the idea of pairing sneakers with one of their suits – and from such an esteemed establishment at Henry Poole no less! – but the pair of limited editions isn’t for them.
