Bed J.W. Ford has been dominant in the menswear field since their start in 2010, and now, they’re bringing their knowledge to the sneaker world. This week, the Japanese label announced a new project with adidas, dropping later this week.
adidas’ long list of collaborators is expanding constantly, adding new brands and creators from around the world and all walks of life. This month, another new adidas partner will debut their first collaborative collection with the Three Stripes, the Japanese-based menswear label Bed J.W. Ford. Short for Bed Jude Willford, the brand gained popularity since their start in 2010 by showing up and showing out at Paris Fashion Week on numerous occasions. Now, they’re turning their attention to a sportier field.
The new project from Bed J.W. Ford and adidas takes several famous Three Stripes silhouettes in a wild new direction, rebuilding the Crazy BYW, Kamanda, and Saint Florent in the style of high fashion. First up, the BYW adds a new Primeknit inner bootie that stretches above the ankle for a more styled look, as well as replacing the standard materials with smooth suede. The Kamanda has also been radically altered, removing the lacing system altogether in favor of another Primeknit inner lining that is reinforced by the standard suede upper. Finally, the third piece of footwear appears to be a new silhouette entirely, titled the Saint Florent. The shoe looks like a loafer or boat shoe that has been modified with – you guessed it- a Primeknit inner bootie and a behind-the-heel lace closure. All three shoes come in a triple black colorway, and will launch alongside a small collection of technical apparel.
