Yara Shahidi Adidas capsule collection just launched and it's everything the culture needed.
The Grown-ish actress and activist has teamed with Adidas for her very own five-piece collection that celebrates her Black and Iranian roots. Along with a pair of classic Superstar sneakers, the line offers two jackets and coordinating track pants. Paying homage to the activists and artists who have shaped Shahidi's own worldview, the styles feature intricate detailing such as embroidered Farsi script, global colorways, and 1960s-inspired silhouettes.
"My first instinct was how do we honor the past in a way that also pays homage to the future," Shahidi told Bazaar.com. "The one thing that I wanted people to take away was even though a lot of these details are specific to my own growing up and the things that impacted me, the entire campaign is about how we re-create our heritage. I'm constantly figuring out what it means to me to be Black and Iranian-it's ever changing."
