This season, Adidas Originals and Pharrell Williams have joined forces once again to
release their unisex Humanrace Premium Basics collection just in time for Summer 2022.
Following the sportswear brand’s winter collaboration with the artist, it appears that Pharrell
and Adidas are eager to keep the ball rolling when it comes to their collaborative efforts, and
this latest project sees the duo encapsulate colourful apparel “built for everyday wear” which
promotes striking colours and quality, as well as loose, gender-free silhouettes.
The latest instalment in Pharrell’s long-standing Adidas partnership features crewnecks,
hoodies, t-shirts, joggers and shorts all crafted from Adidas’ highest quality 100 percent
organic French terry cotton, which promotes a more ethical and sustainable approach to
cotton manufacturing and is part of Adidas’ 2022 mission of becoming more sustainable. The
collection also makes use of Adidas’ Unite Fit gender-neutral sizing system; each piece is
available in sizes ranging from 3XS to 2XL and comes in seven striking colours: brown,
black, light grey heather, golden beige, bold gold, hazy emerald and off white.
Adidas x Pharrell Premium Basics effectively displays how minimalism can be used as a
framework for expression. Drawing on his distinctive bold, colour palette, Pharrell’s Premium
Basics takes things back to the basics. With its lack of complication, the gender-neutral
collection places accessibility, inclusivity and high-quality designs on a pedestal constructed
with a variety of sizes, proportions and genders in mind.
For those interested in copping the Pharrell x Adidas Humanrace Premium Basics collection,
it is available through Adidas.com/Pharrell, in-stores, as well as at select retailers.
