adidas Originals Taps Angel Chen on a New Capsule

— May 21, 2020 — Lifestyle
adidas Originals taps Chinese designer Angel Chen to design a new collection of footwear for the warmer seasons. The new capsule draws inspiration from calligraphy and martial arts. There are eight silhouettes that make up the entire collection and features two Ozweego models, Sleek Super, Kiellor, and Magmur.

The updates are bold in design and captivate attention through the outstanding shapes as well as color palette. The Ozweegos are an eye catcher with one optioned in bumblebee yellow detailed with black blotchy accents. The Magmur is complete in green, blue, red, and yellow to ensure that it will not be missed. The Kiellor follow suit with a bold palette using hues of red, blue, yellow, and green as well on top of a white speckled midsole unit.
