Sean Wotherspoon continues to grow his partnership alongside adidas Originals with a new slew of adidas Gazelle sneaker models. This marks the second time that the designer is creating his own version of the silhouette and highlights a more eco-friendly approach this time around.
The highlighting feature of the collaboration is rooted in the construction of the shoe with hemp and mushroom leather materials. There are two colorways including white, orange, and green, and cream, orange, and blue. The upper is made from knitted help materials and creates a dynamic paneling look with bright tones. Branding can be found in the form of the Trefoil help tags along with a nod to the designer at the heel -- all of this rests on a gum sole unit.
