Ferg draws similar parallels from his own experience coming up in New York City, creating unity and celebrating the determination it takes to rise over adversity. The A$AP Ferg x adidas Matchcourt is said to be inspired by the mismatched style and creative from the inner-city youth. This latest collab between the hip-hop creative and the Three Stripes is a part of the second adidas Skateboarding Trap Lord Collection collaboration. All are available now at adidas.Above you will get a good look at the upcoming A$AP Ferg x adidas Matchcourt. The new adidas alphabounce Reflective drops in three colorways for men (black, silver and tan) and two colorways for women (black and tan). So obviously I love it and adidas is doing a great job on all fronts of making stylish shoes for function and style. Especially with shoes like the Nemeziz, which I love and own a couple pair. GZ: It’s great! You’re really starting to see people wear cool and unique sneakers that come from the soccer world. KTTP: You’re an adidas athlete, can you tell us more about the current climate of soccer culture as it pertains to the brand? Adi is doing so well in blending lifestyle with soccer and vice versa. Not only do they make me stand out but they keep me safe too (laughs). So when cars drive around their lights reflect off the shoes. It’s actually kind of cool, we live near Manhattan Beach and there’s a lot of pedestrians walking around at night. I wear them all the time on dates with my wife. GZ: It’s true, they look good with a lot of different things.
Tell us more about how you incorporate the alphabounce Reflective into your style. You’re someone that likes to stand out especially with your off pitch style. KTTP: You talked a little bit about the casual aspect of the shoes. In most of my shoes, I have to wear orthotics but not with the alphabounce. They were very comfortable and performed so well. As soon as I put my feet in the alphabounce Reflective I had the confidence to come back and train hard. I had to come back from bad injury where I broke my foot towards the end of last season. KTTP: How big of a role do the shoes play in your training? Inspired by the mismatched style and creativity from the youth in inner-cities, Ferg draws. I can train with them and I can wear them out and about. The adidas Skateboarding x Trap Lord collection bridges the gap between skate culture and hip-hop. Gyasi Zardes: I recently shot a campaign for the shoes and I really love them, They’re so comfortable and versatile. KTTP: What can you tell us about the new alphabounce reflective? The LA Galaxy stalwart told us about the role the alphabounce Reflective plays in his training, style and even how the shoes helped in his comeback from a big injury. We recently had the opportunity to briefly talk with one of the alphabounce Reflective’s feature athletes, Gyasi Zardes. Never resting on their laurels, The Three Stripes continue to turn the wheel with the new alphabounce Reflective, which sees adidas tie back the color and add some brilliant reflective accents for the athlete that wants to be seen. The alphabounce has quietly made significant waves for adidas in the wake of the massive success of the UltraBOOST.
