Tulie Yaito is the latest collaborator alongside adidas as the two join forces to launch a pair of the Forum Hi. It is set to drop officially on July 8th and is made from a plethora of colors and materials. This includes hairy cowhide, green suede for a soft feel, black leather that is embossed with paisley patterns, and white leather throughout the upper. All of this creates a stark and contrasting look in terms of tones and textures.
Tulie explains the design, stating that “I would describe my shoe as opulent. It merges street wear, luxury and paying homage to my roots in Jamaica. The black leather paisley depicts the strength & creativity of our people. The yellow over size thread depicts the wealth and beauty and the green suede depicts hope & the land’s resources. I also drew inspiration from our popular knot bag and the Keijō bag using exotic skins, shapes, materials and vibrant colors that represents me.”
