Adidas ( X Pharrell Williams )

adidas x Pharrell Williams is a long‑standing creative partnership between adidas and Pharrell Williams, the Grammy‑winning musician, producer, and cultural icon. Launched in 2014, this collaboration blends innovative design, cultural storytelling, inclusivity, and bold style across footwear, apparel, and accessories.
