ADIDAS X DEPOP COLLABORATION
In 2021, we had the opportunity to be part of a major project when Depop, a platform for buying and selling secondhand and new clothing, shoes, and accessories reached out to us. Depop and Adidas selected a few artists from the platform, and since they liked our profile, they invited us to collaborate. For the release of the new Stan Smith sneakers, made from at least 50% recycled materials, Adidas sent these shoes to the selected artists to be redesigned according to their personal style.
It was an amazing experience working with such a big brand, especially with the freedom we had in designing the sneakers. Once we finished, the customised Stan Smiths were listed on Depop under the Adidas X Depop collaboration. If someone purchased our sneakers, the money automatically went to a charity of our choice. We decided to donate the funds to an organisation that works with unpaid and underage workers in Asia. Our shoe was later displayed in the flagship Adidas Originals store on Carnaby Street in Soho, London.
