Adidas is acquiring luxury house collaborations at an incredible pace. After tapping Prada in January for co-branded Forum sneakers, the sportswear brand partnered with Gucci in February to debut a more robust line of blazers, tracksuits, knitwear, hats, and bags. Now, as March closes out, Adidas seems to be continuing its streak of high-fashion offerings with Balenciaga as a new partner.
Leak page @apolloluo1976 first hinted at the collaboration, and now official-looking images have surfaced showing off a pair of Balenciaga’s infamous Triple S sneakers with recognizable Adidas branding. Three Stripes decorate the sides of the chunky model, as a Balenciaga logo sits beneath Adidas’ trefoil motif at the heel. The clean, black-and-white design has yet to be officially confirmed by either brand, although a Balenciaga partnership would fit well in Adidas’ wheelhouse given its activities this year alone.
