High fashion’s fusion with street and sportswear began long before the recent trend of spamming “insert French fashion house here” and one of the many sportswear brands on the planet. One of the earliest examples was when Jeremy Scott teamed up with adidas in 2003, launching 100 pairs of adidas Forum Highs. Still, his later collaborations in the late 2000s and early 2010s became most iconic.
The wings-laden adidas Forums and subsequent stuffed animal sneakers have become cult classics and were worn by virtually every celebrity during its initial release. After revisiting the partnership in 2022 and 2023, they’re tasking Scott with creating footwear and apparel for Pride Month 2025.
