New York. Paris. Milan. Herzogenaurach.
Herzo … huh?

Birthplace of Adidas, 1948. Fast forward, 2002. The German town becomes a definitive hotbed of international designer pretension. Hot on the heels of Yohji Yamamoto’s rendition of the perennially-loved shoe, Stella McCartney and NOKI unveil their take on the Adidas sneaker. The clincher — only 100 pair exist. So for those who crave individuality, the oh-so-limited edition kicks can be had … for a mere $350.

The NOKI Piston, which hits stores this week, is a tongue-in-cheek remix of the classic Forum basketball shoe with deconstructed labels and logos. McCartney’s creations (to be released in April) are cream-colored and punched up with primaries and pastels.

Balenciaga bags? Move on. Real fashion hounds are taking it to the feet.

Available at Alife, 178 Orchard Street, between Stanton and Houston Streets (646-654-0628); and Union, 172 Spring Street, between West Broadway and Thompson Street (212-226-8493; NOKI only).
