First Look: adidas Originals by White Mountaineering Fall/Winter 2017

adidas Originals and Japanese menswear label White Mountaineering reconvene for FW17, bringing Yosuke Aizawa’s inimitable aesthetic to a comprehensive range of adidas Originals footwear and apparel. True to White Mountaineering’s philosophy of creating an elevated technical product with an unparalleled sartorial touch, the latest collection presents a range of cold weather designs in a stripped-back seasonal colour palette, complemented by footwear of different silhouettes, including the NMD_R2 and NMD Trail. 

For the latest collection, Yosuke Aizawa’s signature aesthetic returns across a number of silhouettes including cargo pants and jersey pieces. Premium outerwear offerings include a Hooded Windbreaker reinterpreted with a technical design language. Each design is distinguished by signature paneled constructions and atypical 3-stripes placements in black, white and olive. 

Accompanying footwear to the collection continues the military theme with both classic and contemporary 3-stripes silhouettes. Returning, the NMD Trail steps out in a duo of colouways with reflective print details and a saw-tooth outsole for a better grip. Likewise, the NMD_R2 returns with essential paneled construction and signature 3-stripes details. 

The collaboration encapsulates the commitment of both labels to creating striking street-ready designs with an uncompromised performance edge. 

The collection is available from AREA3 in Braamfontein and astore in Cape Town. 

adidas Originals x White Mountaineering Fall Collection Hitting Stores Soon

This season we will see the much-anticipated return of adidas Originals by White Mountaineering. After the success of the Spring/Summer16 collection, adidas Originals design DNA is again reinterpreted through the eyes of Yosuke Aizawa.

Staying true to the White Mountaineering design philosophy, the adidas Originals by White Mountaineering partnership sees adidas’ rich sportswear history rooted in White Mountaineering’s designs, developing classic sportswear pieces reworked into exciting contemporary designs.

White Mountaineering’s signature standout panel construction is seen across a range of silhouettes, adding a technical edge to three-stripes standards. Tonal colour palettes and extended cuts highlight the collection’s stylistic edge, whilst new aesthetic touches underline the collaborative process – the 3-Stripes mark is transformed into a V-shaped chest motif and sign-off graphic, and an exclusive all-over camo print brings forth the pinnacle of White Mountaineering’s form-meets-function approach to style.

Accompanying footwear offerings see the most expansive adidas Originals by White Mountaineering range yet, bringing White Mountaineering’s design language to 3-Stripes icons old and new.

The collection drops on Thursday, 27 October 2016, at selected retailers and online at adidas.co.za.
