Pharrell Williams' Adidas collection takes colours from East African flags
Musician and fashion designer Pharrell Williams has collaborated with Adidas on a collection of brightly coloured trainers and athletic clothing, called Solar Hu.
The collection includes a single style of trainer in three colourways and eight pieces of clothing that take all take their colours from the flags of East African countries.
"Africa is a beautiful continent and the origin of civilisation," said Williams, about the decision to draw on the flags of East African countries.
"Hu is short for human ? human being, human race, humankind," said Williams when the first Hu collection launched in 2016. "But Hu, itself is also a reference to colour. As human beings, we all have a colour. We all look different, we all speak different languages, but we?re all connected."
The trainers come in shades of yellow, red, green, orange, white, black and cyan ? colours inspired by the flags. The clothing follows the same colour scheme, with patterned fabric details in elaborate zig-zag patterns that decorate the shorts and tights.
Adidas recently launched a vegan version of their Stan Smith trainer in collaboration with fashion designer and animal rights advocate Stella McCartney, which features an illustrated portrait of the designer on the tongue of the left shoe.
