With all eyes on the Adistar Jellyfish, and momentum rippling through the adidas waters, Louis Vuitton's Creative Director, Pharrell, is continuing to stake his claim in the brand’s landscape – this time turning his attention to the performance side of the catalogue.
Having shaped culture through playful NMDs and Humanrace, the former Nike collaborator has proven that his aesthetic – measured, vibrant and considered – can turn any silhouette into a statement. That philosophy now extends to the performance-focused Adizero Evo SL.
The silhouette first landed earlier this year in black and white bases with green, blue and black stripes. Lightweight mesh, earth-toned overlays, and subtle tooling transformed a technical running shoe into a platform that felt just as expressive as any Originals drop, selling out almost immediately.
For the new ‘Preloved Brown’ edition, the experimentation continues. Solid black stripes replace the tri-coloured accents, while a brown upper and sole ground the design for the season. Red hits on the heel wing and outsole inject Skateboard P's signature playfulness, bridging running cues and performance engineering into one well-rounded package.
