Song for the Mute's latest collaboration with Adidas Originals, dubbed \"006,\" represents a deep exploration of understated rebellion, blending an appreciation for martial arts with contemporary fashion. This extensive collection showcases a meticulous redesign of two iconic footwear models and introduces a diverse range of apparel and accessories, all imbued with a unique, vintage-inspired aesthetic. It marks a significant evolution in the ongoing partnership between the two brands, offering a fresh perspective on classic sportswear.
At the heart of the \"006\" collection are the revamped SFTM-006 Adizero PR and SFTM-007 Taekwondo Mei sneakers. The Taekwondo Mei maintains its traditional martial arts silhouette but is updated with an elasticated, gathered collar, a distinctive laced closure, and asymmetric, top-stitched toe panels crafted from scuffed, aged suede in earthy tones of khaki, sand, and black. These sit atop a semi-translucent sole adorned with a cracked-print 3-Stripes motif, adding a touch of weathered authenticity. The Adizero PR, typically known for its athletic prowess, is transformed with an antiqued rubber midsole, deliberately mismatched laces, gleaming silver overlays, and protective metal studs, giving it a robust yet stylish appeal. Its lightweight mesh and TPU upper are presented in muted shades of off-black, oxidized white, and a rich oxblood-sport red hybrid, further enhancing its vintage charm. Complementing these unique footwear offerings, the collection's apparel line is its most comprehensive to date, featuring luxurious velvet track jackets, expansive gabardine overshirts, intricately pleated tartan trousers, and re-engineered track pants. The color palette for the apparel echoes the footwear's aesthetic, with warm neutrals, bleached mustard, tarnished red, and washed black dominating the selection. For the first time in their collaborations, Song for the Mute and Adidas Originals have also crafted accessories, including a washed-cotton cap and a versatile hybrid tote-shoulder bag, both designed to seamlessly bridge elements of past utility with modern functionality.
The highly anticipated collection will first be available through an exclusive pre-release event at Song for the Mute’s flagship store in Sydney and their official website on October 3. A broader global release for the entire \"006\" collection is scheduled to follow on October 10, 2025, allowing a wider audience to experience this distinctive blend of heritage and contemporary design.
This collaboration exemplifies the power of creative partnerships to push boundaries and redefine fashion norms. By reinterpreting classic designs with a focus on rebellious aesthetics and thoughtful detailing, the collection invites enthusiasts to embrace individuality and style that transcends fleeting trends, celebrating the art of collaboration as a force for innovation and timeless appeal.
