Paris-based Études ‘studio’ was founded in 2012 as a way of exploring and advancing global experiences of visual culture. Their work traverses mediums, but is most memorably conveyed through contemporary-minded fashion collections. Their UltraBOOST design slots seamlessly into their aesthetic: a deceptively refined, uncaged shoe rendered in shades of bright blue and deep black.
The blue uppers not only call to mind an iconic adidas colorway but also a shade that Études frequently uses to champion a strong, open and progressive Europe. The color, pared-back silhouette, and embroidered stars immediately catch the eye. Accompanying the Études UltraBOOST is a pack-away rain cape. Echoing the subtle details of its partner shoe, the cape is sleek and functional, with oversized tonal co-branding that runs the length of the cape’s reverse.
Both the adidas Consortium Ultraboost Uncaged x Études & the adidas Consortium x Études Rain Cape will launch on Saturday the 15th of September ONLINE; 00:01BST.
