adidas Consortium x Engineered Garments

20 . 10 . 18

The third collaboration from the FW18 UltraBOOST Collective sees The cult, Americana-influenced brand applies its trademark, playfully irreverent approach to a range of iconic adidas designs and details.

Daiki Suzuki’s New-York based brand, Engineered Garments, has garnered a cult fanbase around the globe for its exuberant take on classic American clothing and refined Japanese attention to detail. Subtly mismatched elements have long been a part of the brand’s output and feature on their UltraBOOST in abundance.

The pioneering craftsmanship and design of the shoe are here rendered in the bright retro splash of adidas’ ‘Bluebird’ colorway, accompanied by a classic gum-colored outsole. Meanwhile, innovative fabrics such as the Primeknit uppers rub shoulders with more traditional textiles: twill cotton on the heel clip and cage; embroidered stripes that are (of course) mismatched in color.

The adidas Consortium Ultraboost x Engineered Garments will launch on Saturday the 20th of October at limitEDitions WMNS.

Rounding off the collaboration is a vibrant take on the adidas bucket hat crafted from tech fabrics. The bucket hat has a rich and varied history, acting as a cultural touchstone across the worlds of sport, high-fashion, military clothing and popular music – the perfect accessory for a brand as eclectic as Engineered Garments.
