Adidas Proud

Apparently it’s pride month, but don’t expect to see too many pride posts on this page (I still don’t understand why we highjacked the rainbow which has no historical significance and dismiss the pink triangle) but I will make an exception when it comes to shoes. adidas Originals is paying homage to the LGBTQ community by releasing a “Pride” pack. The trio features, you guessed it – a  Stan Smith, a Superstar and an adilette. Perhaps the models from their line up that is most purchased by said demographic? Here’s the rundown.

Don’t worry, it’s not all about cashing in on Pride, a portion of the sales from the “Pride” pack will be awarded to LGBTQ charities. Look for the kicks to drop on June 6 at in store and online.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
