EXPLORING THE ART OF CUSTOMIZATION
Overview
adidas comes back for SS21 with a retrospective of customized sneaker culture and the connection between hip hop in New York, the punk scene in the UK and the bohemians of the revolution. With a focus on street style, this short film explores the rich culture and history of sneaker customization and the iconic adidas vibe.
This film can be seen on the Confirmed adidas app in the US and EU.

“This dance performance was one of the most powerful pieces of art I’ve had the opportunity to bear witness to. At a time when our social condition demands that artists tackle the socio-political realities of the time, this exhibition addresses issues of violence against the black body with nuance, honesty, and imagination. It is a must-see.” Clint Smith, Ph.D Candidate of Education, Harvard University http://www.clintsmithiii.com
