Best Buds: Pharrell x Nigo x adidas ‘Friendship’ Pack
and go back a long way – decades in fact – to the heady days of early Japanese streetwear. Their professional and personal relationship remains rock solid, and they’re celebrating that fact with a new collaboration dubbed the ‘Friendship’ pack. After all, both parties have also had longstanding partnerships with the Three Stripes.
Consisting of the and , Pharrell and Nigo put their personal touch with bright colourways and cosy materials. The PW BOOST Slide is a new leisure model that combines the easy-wearing slide design with full-length BOOST soles for supreme comfort, especially when paired with extra wide padded straps and faux massage footbeds. Meanwhile, the Tokio Solar Hu takes on a smorgasbord of fantastical colours in vibrant blues, oranges, pinks and purples. It’s an interesting anachronism of old-school mesh and microfibre layered uppers attached to BOOST midsoles taken from adi’s top-end running shoes. The result is an equally good-looking and comfortable sneaker. Finishing touches across all pairs in the pack include embroidered and stamped characters reading ‘You’ and ‘Me’, Hu logos, and flecked laces.
The Pharrell x Nigo x adidas ‘Friendship’ pack will release on December 18 via the adidas webstore and selected global retailers.
