Collaborations between sports classics and designers are never-ending. The trend is on a roll, bringing together innovative designers – from the most underground to the best-known, from the big names in luxury to the rising stars – and bringing them face to face with the world of sport. Sportswear is no longer just functional: it must also be aesthetically pleasing. Conversely, the world of fashion seems to have always been inspired by sport: polo shirts, pleated tennis skirts and large soccer shirts.
With their reciprocal influences, it was only natural that in the age of capsule collections, collaborations between sportswear and ready-to-wear brands should flourish.
Adidas is a master of its craft. At the last Men’s Fashion Week, the public was able to discover the fruit of the latest collaboration with Rick Owens, but also with Juun.J .
After learning from many prestigious designers, the young man launched his label in 2007. His garments focus on the idea of deconstruction: having mastered the rules of tailoring, Junn. J can play with the classics and reveal new facets.
The classic ZX8000 before its makeover
For Adidas, the young designer has adapted the ZX8000 model to the spirit of his collection: a structure dictated in a military manner. Available since July in low or high models, Velcro fastenings have been added: a reminder of the practicality and framed spirit of exploration in a hostile environment. Rather than reverting to the khaki tone (in keeping with military logic), a more modern choice has been made: the minimalist white and black, with glossy-toned soles to bring a hint of luxury to the original model.
