Original Story (08/26/21): Following the Royal Blue colorway, Pharrell and adidas continue the release of the new Humanrace Sičhona, a silhouette whose name means “earth” and is borrowed from the Indigenous phrase for “connecting to the earth” – the Dakota way of saying “barefoot.”

“I chased the experience I remember feeling as a kid when I walked barefoot on grass, sand and rocks,” says Pharrell Williams. “Feeling the texture, the temperature, the moisture… that primal sense of freedom was a north star objective with this project.”

The silhouette now returns in a burgundy colorway. Designed as an extension of the human body, the Humanrace Sičhona has been constructed with FutureNatural direct-inject casting, which merges the sock-like Primeknit upper directly to the TPU midsole, allowing the foot to function freely by removing elements that would normally be restrictive. Additionally, the outsole features a computer-printed typography pattern that spells out “Humanrace.”
