adidas and Patrick Mahomes Show Off the Mahomes 2 Impact FLX
Featuring gold and bronze details inspired by the quarterback’s love for watches.
adidas and Patrick Mahomes teamed up back in 2021 for their inaugural collaboration, a training shoe called the Mahomes 1 Impact FLX. Right in time for the Super Bowl LVIII, the brand and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback have returned with their second iteration of the sneaker.
The Mahomes 2 Impact FLX largely replicates the original silhouette of the 2021 shoe with some modifications that designers say were informed by the Mahomes 1 Impact FLX’s data. It also has a generative traction outsole and a foam midsole, providing a firmer group while exercising with a layer of cushioning. Designers also tweaked the mesh upper, which comes in a light gray shade.
Bronze and gold detailing throughout the Mahomes 2 Impact FLX were inspired by the NFL player’s love for watches. Along with the sneaker, adidas and Mahomes have created a capsule collection spanning sweatpants, T-shirts, shorts and zip-up sweatshirts.
“Myself, my team and adidas spent over a year perfecting every detail in Mahomes 2, down to the timepiece symbols featured on the first shoe and the zippers on the hoodies,” Mahomes said. “Our hard work and passion come to life today, and I can’t wait to see fans rocking the collection.”
“Patrick’s a generational force in sports—not just football—shaping the next generation of athletes and serving as an inspiration to all by overcoming pressure in the biggest moments and finding joy in the game,” added Chris Murphy, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing at adidas.
“Mahomes 2 has been years in the making and is the result of unparalleled collaboration between Mahomes and our industry-leading designers to create a premium, unique collection.”
The Mahomes 2 Impact FLX will be available for purchase online and in stores sometime this month.
