3 stars create one shoe: Peter Hook, bass player of Joy Division/New Order; Ben Kelly - the architect responsible for the interiors of the legendary Hacienda nightclub; and Peter Saville, Factory Record’s original graphic designer who was also responsible for Yohji Yamamoto’s iconic advertising from 1986 to 1992:
“25 years ago this project would have seemed somewhere beyond the unimaginable . . . That the look and the life of the Hacienda would become fused into a product that is an artwork. This project has come about through a remarkable collaboration of individuals that I have worked with in distant contexts and proves how unpredictable our future can be… It could  be said that 'these shoes are a realisation of a memory shared by many of their passage through a place in a moment in time'… FAC51-Y3 – Peter Hook, Peter Saville and Ben Kelly for Yohji Yamamoto and adidas.” Peter Saville, May 2007 more collections >>>
