adidas Originals Swedish Satellite Pack
We went to space for inspiration of this SMU pack. In the Fifties, the early days of NASA, and on the very first human spaceflight by the United States, astronaut John Glenn brought his personal camera to take pictures when he was in space. The result was mediocre at best, and NASA realized the need for a more suitable and professional equipment.
After some research and first sketches of what would be needed, NASA discovered that the most efficient way would be to just buy a model of the Swedish camera manufacturer, Hasselblad, over the counter in a camera store in Houston. This marks the beginning of a collaboration between NASA and Hasselblad that has continued for over 50 years. The pictures you have seen of and from Space, have been taken with a Hasselblad camera.
But one series of those pictures taken in space will never be seen. In 1966, on NASA’s space program Gemini X, astronaut Michael Collins accidently lost the Hasselblad camera on his spacewalk. It is forever lost in space, possibly still in orbit around Earth. It’s called the first Swedish satellite.
The adidas Originals ”Swedish Satellite Pack” that is exclusive for Sneakersnstuff draws inspiration from that trip. A pack of three silhouettes starting with the adidas Originals Stan Smith ”Spacesuit” as the first drop, followed by adidas Originals Tubular Runner ”Starry” and rounded up with the adidas Originals Superstar ”Camera”.
