Think Basics Are Boring? The New adidas & Pharrell Drop Says Otherwise
Few names hold as much cultural weight in the modern era as Pharrell Williams. Since founding The Neptunes in ’94, Pharrell has collected accolades in music, fashion, and general celebrity while remaining astoundingly true to his image, vision, and beliefs. One of Williams’ more recent ventures, adidas Originals = Pharrell Williams, launched in 2014.
Six years and a handful of highly collectible collections later, the two powerhouses have joined forces again to bring us a range of elevated essentials. While the garments are new, the inspiration remains the same: to connect people with love, passion, energy, and color as a celebration of the diversity of humanity.
This capsule collection features the signature primary color blocking that we’ve become accustomed to over the past six years, and it takes things back to basics. Using high-quality Adidas blanks, Pharrell presents a pared-back range of elevated essentials, from durable, heavyweight T-shirts to sweatpants and socks. Not only does this collection provide a strong foothold to take your wardrobe to the next level, but it also furthers Pharrell’s work to offer a platform to tell stories that might not otherwise be heard through collaborative workshops, events, and more. The man himself explains that “adidas and I share the same values and are dedicated to changing lives through sports, and just knowing that our work together can impact others is really what it’s all about.”
