adidas and London-based designer Mr. Bailey have teamed up once again to create something truly unique — the adidas Originals x MRBAILEY® ARUKU YAGI. This bold sneaker design will launch later this month, exclusively in Las Vegas, before being released globally later this year.
Mr. Bailey, the founder of Conceptkicks, is known for turning creative ideas into innovative footwear designs. His new collaboration with adidas focuses on blending performance, design, and emotion — creating shoes that are both functional and artistic.
The ARUKU YAGI takes inspiration from nature, especially from the mountain goat. Its outsole design mimics the animal’s cloven hoof, helping it move easily across rough and uneven terrain. This gives the sneaker a rugged yet sleek design meant for real-world adaptability.
Adding to the comfort and stability, adidas has built in a “Swirlfoam” midsole along with spring details in the toe and heel areas. These features improve cushioning and flexibility, making the shoe not just stylish but practical.
Visually, the sneaker stands out with a futuristic look — semi-transparent TPU mesh panels, layered mudguards, and sculpted heel plates that resemble car spoilers. Every element of the shoe serves both a design and performance purpose, perfectly reflecting Bailey’s philosophy that sneakers should connect both function and emotion.
The ARUKU YAGI will debut in two colorways: “Cinder Grey” and “Obsidian Black.”
