The car is detailed with a tribal print and along with it comes a graphic tee. The design of the vehicle was led by students at [adidas'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-petronas-f1) S.E.E.D., which stands for school for experimental education in design with the help of Calty Design Research and [Carbon DLS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-husqvarna-mountain-cross), which assisted with the 3D-printed parts. The exterior design nods to the Marvel superhero with purple tribal accents and the hood is complete with a diamond pattern that references the claws on Black Panther's necklace. Additionally, the steering wheel cover is made from the same materials used to craft the 4D-FWD shoe. The aforementioned tee is designed with a famous African proverb that reads “Educate a Woman, Educate a Nation,” which is translated into Wakandan.
