The new adidas x Gucci collection captures the strengths of both giant labels -- the sporty elements of adidas and the elevated fashion language of Gucci. The brand continues to build upon the Exquisite Gucci runway show and features a range of designs that reflect the signature GG and Trefoil logo motifs for a notable effect.
The items in the capsule include the bucket hats treated with resin for a sleek look -- it also has super-wide brims. This is followed by platform slides that are held by velcro straps, monogrammed polo shirts, and sleek monogrammed golf bags. Other highlights include the bold bowling bags, the red leather golf bag, and the tan GG logo golf bag.
