The coolest London-influenced product is about to hit the city and we’ve been counting down the days until it’s released.
adidas and Foot Locker are back with their latest London-inspired design and this time they’re stepping things up a notch. The pair have been working with European creators over the course of 2019 as part of their SPEEDFACTORY campaign. So far, they’ve stopped off in Berlin, Milan and Paris before arriving in London this month. And now they’re here, it’s time to celebrate the launch of the fourth and final SPEEDFACTORY creation, designed by Londoners, for Londoners.
Foot Locker and adidas invited four creators from the city of London to design a shoe that visualizes their city, its culture and its people. The final design of the SPEEDFACTORY AM4 ULTRABOOST CP LONDON is a creation by London-based illustrator and designer Jasmin Sehra. Her design represents the 32 boroughs of London and the melting pot of people, cultures and vibes found in the city.
Jasmin hails from Wembley, and her work is inspired by graphics and patterns from the 80’s and 90’s, bold typography, her love for nature and her Indian heritage. She created an abstract version of the London map, which formed the base of the camouflage design. Then, she overlapped this with a graffiti-like colour pattern with the silhouette of the River Thames, running through the whole design as a symbol of unity through the city. The etched map design on the side of the shoe is made up of reflective 3M, representing London at night.
SPEEDFACTORY LONDON is the fourth and final release of the 2019 city series and will be released on 27 November in selected Foot Locker stores in London and online at FootLocker.eu. Only 600 pairs will be produced in male and female size ranges.
