CircoLoco and adidas have partnered for two limited edition footwear silhouettes that celebrate the nightclub's rich history and 23 years of operation. The collection comprises the ‘Forum Lo’ and ‘adilette’ slides in two new colorways inspired by the Ibiza-based establishment. The ‘Forum Lo’ incorporates a deep black leather construction, adjustable lace closures, velcro straps, and a thick rubber outsole with red panels. Similarly, the ‘adilette’ boasts an all-black exterior, CircoLoco branding, EVA outsole, and a padded Cloudfoam footbed.
The CircoLoco x adidas ‘Forum Lo’ and ‘adilette’ silhouettes will be made available on the adidas website on July 29 outside of the U.S. American consumers can shop the CircoLoco collection when it lands on the website in October 2022.
