song for the mute x adidas originals

Launched in 2022, the ongoing collaboration between Australian avant-garde label Song for the Mute and German sportswear giant adidas Originals merges historical references with modern, textural experimentation. Led by Creative Director Lyna Ty, whose background in avant-garde design informs the partnership's poetic approach, the collections reimagine heritage athletic silhouettes through a lens of lived-in nostalgia. The footwear and apparel lines feature distressed detailing, raw seams, and unconventional materials like pony hair, velvet, and intricate jacquard knits. By elevating classic sportswear into the realm of high fashion, the collaboration appeals to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate utility met with intricate craftsmanship. The designs draw inspiration from diverse eras, ranging from Renaissance aesthetics to 90s vintage windbreakers and mismatched childhood uniforms.
