ADIDAS ORIGINALS AND BRISTOL STUDIO UNVEIL NEW COLLABORATION

Adidas Originals and Bristol Studio unveiled the spring/summer ‘19 collaboration featuring footwear and apparel. The street-level tribute to retro basketball culture was inspired by Bristol Studios’ creative director, Luke Tadashi’s summers spent in Venice Beach, CA.

The nine-piece capsule consists of a track jacket, snap pants, hoodie, t-shirt, three-quarter length shorts, BYW LVL II sneaker, Adilette slides, socks and a headband.

“As kids, my two best friends, MAASAI [Ephriam] and London [Perrantes], and I would ride our bikes through Venice to hoop with the adults in Venice Beach. We’d do this practically every day in the summer, it was our ritual. This collection recaptures that time in our youth,” explained Tadashi. Additionally, he explains that “The color story takes inspiration from the colors we would see on our bike rides through Venice: colorful but muted tones. We shot everything on-location, retracing the bike route we took as kids to the courts on the beach. The young kids who modeled the collection are all family, related to either Luke, MAASAI or London.”

The collection will be available via www.bristol-studio.com and select Adidas Consortium accounts on Friday, June 28 at 12pm EST and adidas.com on Saturday, June 29 at 3am EST.
