Canadian brand JJJJound continues to work closely with adidas and the latest effort marks its second collaboration highlighting a Mesa and Gum colorway palette adorning the Samba sneaker model. In addition to footwear, the duo will also be launching a series of apparel and accessories as well.
The brown Samba shoes have a furry textural finish and are the spotlight of the new range. The capsule of clothing is the inaugural apparel series by the two and it is comprised of a black track jacket with pants to match, sporty jerseys with Three Stripe branding, and nylon bags to round it out. Overall, it boasts minimal design language and is detailed with simplistic logos that nod to both contributing efforts.
