If ever there were a collab to end all fashion collabs, this would be it: Chanel x adidas x Pharrell Williams. Thing is, that hasn’t happened yet. Although if we were to believe rumours circulating online, and a mock-up photo posted by Yeezy Mafia (who are crazy accurate when it comes to these sort of things), we could very well be looking at the next must-cop item.

NMD HUMAN RACE

So let’s get down to business. All the talk so far has been about an experimental model of Pharrell’s adidas Human Race NMD sneakers that looks like it has a very strong hint of Chanel branding. As you’d expect, neither the German-based sportswear giant nor luxury fashion house have released a statement regarding the potential partnership.
It is telling however that there is the Pharrell factor at play. The hip hop star has been known to work with both fashion brands, having recently appeared in Chanel’s handbag campaign, and of course, producing several kicks with adidas. He could be the glue that binds the two entities, since Chanel isn’t really known to work with other brands.
That said; if these sneakers come to fruition, there’s no denying that they’ll sell like hot cakes the moment they’re released. And if the mock-up photo is anything to be believed, we can expect the shoe to drop in a two-tone monochrome palette, with embroidery of the words “PHARRELL” and “CHANEL” on either sides, in addition to a treaded outsole and Chanel branding on the heel.
For now, the only thing we can do is wait. Here’s hoping that the wait won’t be for much longer. Till then, stick with us for more updates.
