Fucking Awesome, a clothing brand founded by pro skater Jason Dill, has teamed up with adidas Skateboarding to launch a collaborative 'Experiment 2' sneaker silhouette in a bold 'Triple Black' colorway.
The new sneaker arrives with premium jet-black leather uppers and several of Fucking Awesome's signature visual motifs. For example, on the tongue, the shoe features a tag that is dressed in Fucking Awesome's go-to flag patchwork design. Other notable details of the new Experiment 1 model include foil adidas TreFoils on the heels and burgundy-colored insoles.
The Fucking Awesome x adidas FA Experiment 2 "Triple Black" is set to be released on August 13 and will be available to purchase on both brands' websites and at select physical retailers.
