Song For The Mute x adidas 003

Song for the Mute x adidas Originals’ third collaborative collection evokes a nostalgic ambiance while maintaining a distinctly contemporary essence.

‘SFTM-003’ sees the iconic Country OG silhouette revisited and reimagined in three 90’s inspired colourways - Pale grey and teal nylon reminiscent of vintage wind-breakers, as well as classic black leather with suede detailing. Metallic D-ring hardware is combined with a custom paracord-inspired toggle lacing system, alluding to a sense of futuristic nostalgia.

Photographer Atsushi ‘Jima’ Nishijima – acclaimed for his candid photographs of actors on film sets – captures this intermediate, off-kilter energy within the accompanying campaign. Working directly with Art Director and Stylist Stephen Mann, the duo capture youthful behind the scenes moments of actors against city backdrops and transitory spaces like back alleyways and metal scaffolding. This approach to image-making allows Jima to capture in-between moments – highlighting the beauty of the unscripted.
