The adidas x Entire Studios Black Drop 2 collection is a monochrome extension of the ongoing collaboration between adidas and Los Angeles-based label Entire Studios, founded by Sebastian Hunt and Dylan Richards Diaz. The release focuses on a single black palette applied across performance and lifestyle pieces, continuing the partnership’s exploration of training wear through a design-led approach.
The collection includes garments from adidas performance lines such as Optimé, Z.N.E., and D4T, reworked with oversized proportions and structured fits. Pieces include training onesies, leggings, bras, tanks, and outerwear, alongside footwear like the Lightblaze POD and Ace silhouettes. Materials follow technical sportswear construction, with stretch fabrics and layered systems suited for movement across different activities. The drop maintains a uniform color direction, applying black across all categories to emphasize form and proportion.
