Inaugural Footwear Collaborations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

adidas Realizes Three Styles with BED j.w. FORD's Design Ethos

— September 13, 2019 — Fashion
A new footwear collaboration is on the horizon and the models present the merging of aesthetics between global sportswear label adidas and Japanese fashion brand BED j.w. FORD. This is the first partnership between the two companies, therefore, the emerging products are sure to be of high interest to consumers who subscribe to the stylistic preferences of both entities.

The footwear collaboration is said to bring "intrinsically progressive sensibilities" to three iconic silhouettes by adidas, as well as a few classically interpreted apparel pieces. The designs hover over the intersection of stadium, street, and runway. The key of the sneakers is the distinctive construction which is accented through the minimalist, monochromatic presentation. The BED j.w. FORD x adidas footwear collaboration realizes new versions of the football-inspired adidas Kamanda, a multi-paneled take on the Crazy BYW basketball shoe, as well as a new iteration on the archival adidas Korsika.
Trend Themes
1. Collaborative Footwear - Opportunity to explore innovative design partnerships between sportswear labels and fashion brands.
2. Progressive Aesthetics - Potential for merging diverse design sensibilities to create intrinsically forward-thinking products.
