Fucking Awesome works in collaboration with [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bw-army-lux) on a new tonal update of the signature Experiment 1 sneaker model with the new Dust Sand colorway palette to join the roster. The shoe is packed with [earthy tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-colorway) throughout and has contrasting patterns of warped camo prints on top of the shoe.

This marks the second time that Jason Dill is joining forces with the sportswear giant. This time around, the duo detailed the upper with [soft suede and leather overlays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-dead-x-adidas-forest-hills) in a tan hue along the toe box, the ankle collar, and the mudguard sections. Dark olive green is then applied for more contrast at the Three Stripes branding on top of the camouflage pattern foundation.
