adidas Originals by Alexander Wang returns for season four and it is designed with nostalgic elements in mind. The collection is comprised of five new footwear silhouettes and an expansive selection of apparel that draws inspiration from the concepts of reworking old items into new ones. The latest capsule evokes nostalgic elements by tapping into the label's archival content, reviving football jerseys, tees, dresses, track pants, and track tops. The new repurposing is designed in a way that well represents adidas and Alexander Wang's design aesthetics.
The sneakers are comprised of the Alexader Wang 'Skate Super,' the 'Turnout Trainer,' the 'Bball,' 'Puff Trainer,' and 'Futureshell.' Additionally, the campaign features custom-made gear using vintage adidas items to craft chairs, sleeping bags, and tents.
