Patrick Mahomes' adidas Impact FLX Arrives in "Wakanda Forever" Colorway
Taking inspiration from the Black Panther suit.
As Marvel continues to build up to the November release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it has revealed special-edition projects with the likes of LEGO and now adidas. The upcoming footwear collaboration builds upon Patrick Mahomes‘ signature adidas Mahomes 1 Impact FLX silhouette, taking design cues from the movie.
Colors are inspired by the Black Panther suit, featuring a “Core Black” mesh base with zig-zagging gridded engravings and reflective details as well as purple outsoles and lace locks symbolic of the signature glow of Vibranium. Additional details include metallic gold accents found outlining the lateral stripes and Mahomes tongue tab insignia — said to reference Erik Killmonger’s suit in the first movie. The pairs are made in part with recycled content and midsoles consist of springy BOOST materials.
Take a closer look at the adidas Mahomes 1 Impact FLX “Wakanda Forever” above and look for the pairs to release online and at select retailers September 30 for $140 USD.
