The adidas x Rich Mnisi debuts a line of South African contemporary fashion. These items include beautiful, bold pieces, celebrating Rich Mnisi’s Tsonga heritage. The pieces from the collection were designed for a range of sports, including running, cycling, swimming and training.

Although the pieces from the collection are the pinnacle of sportswear, they just as easily transition to streetwear. The adidas X Rich Mnisi collection seamlessly fuses style, colour and function. It mixes the signature prints from Mnisi’s vision to the iconic lines from the adidas archives.

“I am immensely proud to present this collection in collaboration with adidas, an iconic brand that I grew up seeing on People of Color that were rewriting the arts. It has been a pleasure to bring my designs to classic pieces. We have created a bright, unique collection that reflects my love for the idea of community and heritage, individuality, and self-expression. Our aim was to create pieces that supports life on and off the sports field. The spirit of this collection celebrates our homeland, so environment was an important aspect when looking at methods and materials used in the creation process. I am so pleased we’ve used adidas’ advanced technology and partly recycled materials.

I am truly excited for the world to see this collaboration come to life.”
