and wander and adidas TERREX works in collaboration on a new collection of technical apparel together that is set to launch this November. It is made with inspiration from connecting with nature as the duo delivers a range that is ready for explorative adventure.
Speaking about the new collaboration, and wander's co-founder Mihoko Mori states that "Inspiration for the collection came from a short film produced in the 1970’s, which revolves around the theme of the relationship between humans and nature, the concept and feeling of the collection evolved from there [...] Not only do adidas TERREX possess the most innovative ideas and technology, but the people are so knowledgeable in their particular fields, they’ve accumulated an insurmountable amount of know-how as an organization and we wanted to combine this with our own experience and love for the outdoors."
