Adidas Originals Debuts New Soccer-Inspired Kamanda Silhouette

December 25, 2017. Leave a Comment

Adidas Originals is going all in on making bold new shoe statements, revealing a soccer-inspired shoe called Kamada. The debut version of the shoe shows a black nubuck upper with an extra-wide lacing system, all of which sits atop a striking, translucent gumsole-colored, ridged midsole.

The images here were posted on the Instagram account of @eartothestreet, who described the philosophy of the shoe at length. Describing the shoe design, he wrote, “Kamanda 01 is presented in an understated color palette with authentic references such as nubuck uppers, gold foil branding and translucent gum. A woven patch in the lining reads “world famous for quality,” referencing archival branding.”

He added, “Fusing our heritage with a new modern design language in a way that only Adidas Originals can: Kamada will reign supreme. Kamanda targets the grassroots squad who know what they want. They curate their looks, taking cues from the past and reinterpreting for today. They embrace the anti-hero, with inspiration stemming from an in-depth knowledge of music, art, sport and fashion. Kamanda stands for quality, credibility and culture.”

Check out first images of Kamada below.

KAMANDA SQUAD Kamanda is a mindset, an attitude, shared across the globe by a group of alternative individuals looking to disconnect from the mainstream. The projects foundations center around the attitude and values shared by the 80s Terrace movement and today’s global counter culture family with a focus on exclusivity, status and individuality. KAMANDA is a grassroots project that combines the new and old. It is understated yet striking, familiar yet progressive. It’s a subtle statement without the hype for those who appreciate authenticity, credibility and quality. We harness this rebellious nature and effortless cool and bring this to the people through a familiar yet progressive design handwriting. KAMANDA is a badge of honor that subtly says ‘ I KNOW’ Kamanda 01. A modern take of the brands legendary Terrace category. Introducing a globally relevant, progressive footwear style that represents a culture that @adidas owns. Kamanda 01 is presented in an understated color palette with authentic references such as nubuck uppers, gold foil branding and translucent gum. A woven patch in the lining reads ‘ world famous for quality’ referencing archival branding. Fusing our heritage with a new modern design language in a way that only adidas Originals can: KAMANDA will reign supreme. Kamanda targets the grassroots squad who know what they want. They curate their looks, taking cues from the past and reinterpreting for today. They embrace the anti-hero, with inspiration stemming from an in-depth knowledge of music, art, sport and fashion. Kamanda stands for quality, credibility and culture. Only the best materials are just good enough and progressive proportions suit the best for the new approach to Football Culture through the lens of @adidasoriginals A thx to @chriswheat and the entire team for such an impressive new concept! Brilliant! #kamanda #kamandasquad

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.

In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake an In sad news, Kering hasn't realized its mistake and brought back Alessandro Michele (kidding but not really). Instead it's announced the appointment of Sabato De Sarno as Gucci creative director. De Sarno will present his debut runway collection at Milan Women’s Fashion Week in September 2023.

The 39-year-old Sabato De Sarno was raised in Naples, Italy. He began his career at Prada in 2005, moving to Dolce & Gabbana, before joining Valentino in 2009, where he eventually was appointed fashion director of men’s and women’s collections.

De Sarno's resume is no joke, so we look forward to seeing what he brings to the table and will do our best to not hold it against him that he replaced Michele. That's on Kering.
French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings French luxury conglomerate LVMH announced earnings yesterday and noted that Fenty Beauty doubled its revenue in 2022 versus the prior year. In an earnings release the company attribued the growth to "expansion of its distribution network and the success of its launches." 

First launched with LVMH's beauty brand incubator Kendo in 2017, Fenty's growth over the past several years has largely been fueled by global expansion. 

Comnenting on Fenty Beauty's first forray into Asia, CEO Rihanna in 2019 stated on social media, "When I launched @fentybeauty in 2017, it was important to me to make sure it was available globally so everyone had access to it. We are continuing to expand our Fenty Beauty family to Hong Kong, Macau, Seoul and Jeju in September!”

While LVMH didn't provide 2022 Fenty Beauty revenue figures, it announced the beauty brand brought in $573M in revenue in 2018. Forbes in 2021 valued the entire operation as worth $2.8 billion, of which 50% belongs to Rihanna.
The purveyor of consistent heat, Casey Cadwallader The purveyor of consistent heat, Casey Cadwallader's #Mugler fall 2023 runway show in Paris, gave what it's supposed to give. Excellent casting featuring #Ziwe, Amber Valetta, Debra Shaw, Omahyra Mota, Paloma Elsesser, Anok Yai, Dominique Jackson, Maria Carla and more! Badass energy, bold pieces in leather, lace and some denim.

We think Thierry Mugler would be pleased✨
