Pharrell and adidas Originals Salute Basketball with New Collection
Awash in bright prints and centered around a new 0 to 60 STMT silhouette.
Pharrell and adidas Originals have tapped everything from the Chinese New Year to traditional East African weaving patterns for design inspiration, but now the two are looking to sport with a new basketball-themed collection. Consisting of seven footwear styles accompanied by matching apparel, the latest from Skateboard P and adidas‘s lifestyle division uses bright colors, bold prints, elegant materials and special branding in equal measures.

Two of the seven silhouettes are performance-geared: a new high-top dubbed the 0 to 60 STMT as well as a Crazy BYW 2.0 Low. The STMT is almost motorcycle boot-adjacent with a high cut, zipper closure and ankle strap, while the 2.0 Low offers a more classic hoop style. Both are awash in bold fades, shades and details, using soft abstract green, orange and blue prints for a spring-ready look. Each midsole is also stuffed full of BOOST cushioning for a soft, comfortable feel.
Meanwhile, the five lifestyle makeups — Stan Smith, Campus, Continental 80, SC Premiere and Nizza Hi — all use natural tan leathers or suedes. All offer pastel or neon-colored laces for a pop of flair, and replace standard circular perforations with triangular shapes for a nod to Pharrell’s signature Hu logo.

Accompanying apparel uses a vivid all-over print that combines a tie-dye ethos with thumbprint graphics. There’s a T-shirt, hoodie and shorts, all of which are dressed in yellows and oranges, accented with various shades of blue.
Uniting lifestyle and performance, the Pharrell x adidas Originals basketball-inspired collection is available now on the adidas webstore. Prices range from $80-$200 USD.
