Moustache Johnny
Almost all humans have feet. And legs and arms and a torso. If you don’t, I’m genuinely sorry. While they may be slightly different sizes for everyone, they are essentially the same thing. Adidas Skateboarding and team athlete Nora Vasconcellos have recognized this. As a result they teamed up for a first-ever unisex capsule release of apparel and footwear. Designed for FW19, the six-piece capsule draws from Vasconcellos’ fluid personal style and her love of skateboarding. “The beauty is that [skateboarding] is accessible to anyone if they are willing to try it,” Nora says.
“I love designing boards and graphics, but this is the pinnacle of what I’ve designed product-wise. It is a universal collection breaking the barrier of saying ‘this is for a man’ or ‘this is for a woman.’ I can see guys I skate with like Diego Najera and Miles Silvas going for the darker palette and someone like DeAndre Thebpanya going for some of the other colors – it all compliments each other.” Long and short sleeve pastel color block polos, lavender chinos, and hand-painted watercolor floral inspired t-shirt are some of the offerings that set this release apart.
The capsule also has an insulated yellow fleece, and a theme matched 3MC pastel sneaker. The range also includes cool little custom bits like Vasconcellos hometown stitched on the heel tab. As well as some original artwork on the insole. With apparel sizes ranging from XXXS to XXL, and footwear starting at a women’s 5.5 and men’s 4, Nora Vasconcellos’ unisex Adidas Skateboarding collection releases October 17. The trend-setting release will be available online and with select retailers.
