IN GOOD COMPANY. Growing up wearing Adidas Stan Smith trainers in his home state of Virginia, it’s unlikely Pharrell Williams would’ve thought that one day he’d be collaborating with the German sports megabrand to produce his own collection.
Back in March, a teaser video of the heavily anticipated collaboration was released, showing Williams walking backwards in what looked like a pair of hand-painted Stan Smith sneakers. Fast-forward a few months and these very sneakers, decorated with doodles and words of empowerment, have been put on sale at Parisian store Colette. All the proceeds from the run of ten trainers will go straight to Pharrell’s From One Hand To Another charity.
