PRADA FOR ADIDAS LIMITED EDITION

Prada and adidas unveil the first release of their partnership:
the Prada Superstar sneaker and the Prada Bowling bag for adidas
on sale as a duo from December 4, 2019

Milan/Herzogenaurach, 25 November 2019 - A partnership to begin a partnership. The first release - Prada for adidas Limited Edition - is an homage to adidas, championing an emblematic adidas Originals shoe - the Superstar sneaker, originally launched in 1969 and still a lynchpin of adidas Originals style. It also introduces a new bag silhouette, the Prada Bowling bag for adidas, which echoes the Prada Bowling bag as well as the adidas gym bag, in and of itself referencing the world of sports, a style that serves to illustrate the shared narratives and intersecting heritages of Prada and adidas.

The Prada Superstar and the Prada Bowling bag for adidas are proposed together; every piece is Made in Italy by Prada, indicating the superlative quality synonymous with the brand and its inimitable expertise in accessories and 106-year history as a luxury leather goods house. A partnership about manufacturing, a salute to the 50 years of the Superstar, an impeccable style icon - which does not require being re-designed - having crossed boundaries and challenged definitions through five decades.

This pair of styles - each with a fundamental duality at their core - has been evolved from their sports and subcultural roots into modern luxury. Clean simplicity and timeless lines are constants: the Superstar sneakers are translated using Prada’s full-grain leather for the upper with the signature adidas Originals rubber shell toe, finished with a herringbone-pattern rubber cupsole, serrated triple-stripe and a Trefoil logo-pint on the heel, alongside the Prada logotype. The Prada Bowling bag for adidas is executed in superior calf leather with a sports nylon strap, the chassis of the bag bearing the twinned logos of Prada and adidas Originals. Both products are offered in optic white with black detailing: sharp, simple, immediately recognisable, outlining the genesis of Prada for adidas.

Prada for adidas Limited Edition - an homage to timeless classics that transcend generations - is offered for woman and man in exclusive limited editions of 700 pieces, both footwear and accessories numbered with a unique serial. The duo retails online through adidas.com and prada.com, and at selected Prada stores worldwide from December 4, 2019.
