adidas Skateboarding and Nora Vasconcellos are preparing to release the team rider’s first-ever unisex collection of apparel and footwear. Designed for FW19, the six-piece capsule draws from Nora’s fluid personal style and her love of skateboarding.
The collaborative collection includes two color-blocked pastel polo shirts, a pair of lavender chino pants, an insulated yellow fleece and a hand-painted, watercolor T-shirt that takes its inspiration from Nora’s love of florals. The adidas Skateboarding 3MC gets reworked by the team rider in a complementing lavender hue, with a dusty pink accent seen on the heel and a white vulcanized sole.
The matching 3MC features customized details including Nora’s name and original artwork on the insole. Her hometown of Pembroke, Massachusetts and her birth year are then stitched into the heel tabs.
Speaking on the unisex collection, Nora says, “The beauty is that [skateboarding] is accessible to anyone if they are willing to try it… 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’.”
The collection drops on October 17th and will be available from select adidas Skateboarding stockists and online.
Last year, Nora Vasconcellos debuted her first adidas pro model shoe and now adidas has just released Nora's "Living Coral"…
