adidas x Missoni

Achieving aesthetic cohesion in spite of vastly different come-ups, sportswear legend adidas and Italian knitwear artisan Missoni join forces for a collection that follows suit with the boundary-pushing inclinations that have spirited both labels. The ease with which adidas’ breathable sportswear technology coalesces with Missoni’s multicolored confetti-like knit flourishes comes to light in refined yet offbeat renditions of the Ultraboost sneakers, upgraded track jackets, and shorts. While Missoni’s oeuvre is tinged with an inherent sophistication, the label’s signatures effortlessly translate into performance-centered contexts, adding visual intricacy to adidas’ mastery of streamlined constructions. In reducing Missoni's unmistakable kaleidoscopic knit patterns to understated trims punctuating unicolor garments, the aesthetic touchpoints of both labels commingle with intuitive ease across sports bras, leggings, and outerwear alike. Though the labels’ mutual affinity for forging unexpected creative partnerships instills a pre-established common ground, a deeper synergy rises to the forefront of this collaborative venture through the aesthetic immediacy of its resulting designs, imbuing the adidas x Missoni stamp with a rousing sense of possibility.
