The two new adidas by 032c collaborative kicks

Earlier this month the Berlin-based media and fashion brand 032c launched their Spring/Summer 2021 collection entitled SYSTÈME DE LA MODE, which proposes linguistics of clothing, considering fashion as language and garments as signs, with each piece carrying multiple meanings. Expanding on SYSTÈME DE LA MODE and the two labels’ ongoing collaborative partnership, adidas and 032c introduce two new silhouettes: the 032c GSG TR sneaker and the 032c GSG Mule.

The GSG-9 has always been one of my favourite adidas designs – which is why we started our collaboration with minimal intervention on the shoe three years ago, said 032c founder and editor-in-chief, Joerg Koch. It’s also why we are concluding this cycle with a complete deconstruction of the GSG-9, creating two new silhouettes based on its iconic sole.

The 032c GSG TR is a mid-cut runner boasting reflective 3MTM details, a drawstring closure, and 032c branding on the heel and tongue. Featuring a specially crafted neoprene upper with synthetic overlays, the progressive silhouette is available in two distinct, eye-catching colourways: stone grey/dove grey with neon hits and, exclusive to 032c and adidas, hi-res yellow/pulse lemon with black hits.

Meanwhile, the 032c GSG Mule is a playful take on an under-celebrated adidas archival look. Featuring a neoprene upper combined with a solid rubber outsole, the military-inspired mule is rounded out with a toggle closure, co-branded heel details, and adidas 3-stripes branding on the lateral. The silhouette is available in two unique colourways: savannah/chalk white with neon hits and monochrome core black on core black.
