adidas Originals and Donald Glover officially launch Donald Glover Presents, which includes a capsule of footwear and a series of short films.
The partnership began in September 2018, which will include three classic adidas styles, the Nizza, the Continental 80, and the Lacombe done in tone-on-tone White canvas. With a focus on the personal narrative that worn-in sneakers can hold, and the wealth of experiences they bear, the collection is inspired by subtle imperfections.
Seeking to tell a story through design, the shoes feature a series of deconstructed details, like uneven stitching, inside-out golden eyestays, and a custom Three Stripe mark that evokes hand-painting. Heightening a sense of depth and character, the edges of the canvas are not stitched down, allowing them to fray over time. Further bringing the theme of wear to life, a moth – the symbol of the collaboration – appears on the heel bumpers and insoles of the footwear. Each pair arrives inside an inside-out adidas Originals box that opens with a tear strip and comes replete with three sets of custom shoelaces designed to fringe with wear.
In addition to the shoes, Donald Glover Presents includes a series of short films that feature comedian Mo’Nique, a cameo professional skateboarder Na-Kel Smith, and more.
