The fashion and sneaker worlds have often collided to create remarkable partnerships, and few are as notable as the collaboration between adidas and luxury fashion house Balenciaga. In the realm of high-end fashion meets sportswear, adidas has been a pioneering force, collaborating with iconic names like Chanel and Gucci. However, its partnership with Balenciaga has been particularly significant, symbolizing a blend of avant-garde luxury and athletic functionality. Last year, this collaboration faced a setback due to a scandal involving Balenciaga, which temporarily halted their joint ventures. Now, after a nearly year-long pause, the dynamic duo is set to make a grand comeback on November 20, 2023.
This highly anticipated return will bring back some favorites from last year's lineup and introduce fresh designs to the Balenciaga x adidas collection. Among the re-releases, fans can expect to see the Balenciaga x adidas Destroyed Stan Smith. This silhouette combines the timeless appeal of adidas Stan Smiths with the disruptive and edgy aesthetic of Balenciaga. This comeback also marks the debut of the Balenciaga x adidas T Forum, adding a new chapter to this collaborative narrative.
The November drop is slated to include at least 11 different sneakers. This extensive range includes one iteration of the Balenciaga x adidas Speed Trainer, three colorways of the popular Balenciaga x adidas Triple S, the brand new T Forum, and six diverse takes on the Balenciaga x adidas Destroyed Stan Smith. Each silhouette in this lineup is expected to reflect the unique fusion of Balenciaga's high-fashion sensibilities with adidas' sportswear heritage, offering something for both fashion-forward individuals and sneaker enthusiasts.
The Balenciaga x adidas November Drop will take place on November 20, 2023, through Balenciaga and adidas Confirmed. Pricing will range between $950 to $1000+ depending on the silhouette.
