For sneaker lovers and collectors, the latest news is a reason to rejoice: Prada and adidas have produced another gem of their collaboration, creating a luxury shoe with one of the most original silhouettes of recent times. The first partnership between Prada and adidas dates back to 2019 and materialized in the creation of a model based on the design of the adidas Superstar, made with the materials and attention to detail of the Milanese house. It was a low-risk, guaranteed success bet. Throughout 2020, we have seen different editions with both labels that have stolen our sleep and flown off the shelves. They initially followed the paradigm of the first launch based on the choice of a simple and classic design, then gradually became more confident and evolved by harnessing technology to optimize adidas‘ creative capabilities and Prada’s know-how.
The latest sneaker born from the union of Prada and adidas is proof of this quest for modernity. The starting point is the adidas Forum, one of the most overlooked models that is experiencing a new moment of glory after being chosen by rapper Bad Bunny for a creative collaboration with the renowned German brand. This time, instead of traditional materials, the sneakers are part of the environmental sustainability project Re-Nylon by Prada, which recycles plastic fibers collected from fields and seas.
The new sneaker comes in two variants: Forum Hi and Forum Low. Both silhouettes have opted for a monochromatic style that follows adidas’ Triple Black and Triple White palette. The upper is made of soft premium leather applied over the Re-Nylon base, clearly visible on the side stripes, tongue, and lining, while nylon appears on the side panels, heel, toe, and lacing area. The defining element of the sneakers is the removable mini bag made of recycled nylon with the Prada logo, providing extra space and paying homage to the iconic luxury brand. In the case of the Forum Hi, the small pouch is located on the ankle, while in the Low, it is positioned on the laces. Those who prefer to remove it would find another Prada-branded detail on the tongue. The classic rubber adidas sole completes the shoe’s structure.
For the first time in the collaboration’s history, the line includes clothing, accessories, and bags, each piece made in Italy by Prada with the infinitely recyclable Re-Nylon fabric. The adidas for Prada Re-Nylon collection will be launched globally on January 13, 2022, in Prada boutiques, on prada.com, and adidas.com/prada.
