ADIDAS ORIGINAL x ALEXANDER WANG: COLORS AND FUN

The second release of Adidas Originals x Alexander Wang‘s 3rd season, finds inspiration in workwear.

The unisex collection offers 16 items including clothing and shoes and highlights inconsistencies and errors in quality control standards. The result is a line that reinvents the Adidas key pieces and the defects of production are transformed into a new aesthetic starting point, the whole in a full European style, without neglecting tech touches.

The clothes were defined as a middle ground between “Lola Corre” (famous 90s German film) and “Matrix”. Red, black, white and gray reign along with particular athleisure, printed bomber, nylon outfits, all accompanied by pixelated graphics, irregular prints and rippled fabrics, created with the aim of challenging our vision of perfection.

Two instead are the sneakers; the first, revisited in “color & fun”, is composed of a robust and solid sole and a cream-colored upper with black mesh details and a drawstring opening. Its strong point is the mix of materials (suede, carbon fibers and neoprene) that gives a futuristic allure to the shoe. The second sneaker, in black, takes instead the most classic style of the brand and is made of cotton, with rubber sole and white midsole.

Shooted by Brianna Capozzi, the lookbook is composed of shots that capture the two models having fun with photocopies, plastic shutters and other office furniture creating misunderstandings and playful joys between printers and files, alluding to the fact that now sneakers in office are anything but “casual friday”.
