adidas Originals and KSI have just linked up to drop a limited-edition iteration of the Three Stripes’ iconic 1980’s Forum silhouette – the Forum Hi KSI.
KSI has rapidly risen up to become one of the biggest creative forces in the UK, establishing himself as a rapper, creator, boxer, and all-round influencer through his drive, determination, and the confidence to follow his own path.
adidas’ Forum silhouette has become a staple on the streetwear scene in the decades since it first debuted on the court, with everyone from Prada to Bad Bunny dropping sell-out renditions of the model in the last 12 months.
The timeless sneaker continues to shape culture as a steadfast style icon today, with the model’s easy adaptability and clean aesthetic making it the perfect model for KSI to put his own, self-expressive spin on.
KSI’s Forum Hi is inspired by the uniqueness and authenticity that mirror KSI’s style and ethos. Design details include a bold paisley print that turns reflective under light, three lace jewels and his tagline “Underestimated” on the ankle strap, a defiant statement that brings the sneaker to life in his own unique way.
To mark the launch of his sneaker, KSI stars in a fun, typically dynamic short film playing on his multi-hyphenate character and career – see above.
You can cop the limited-edition sneaker via raffle on the adidas app this Friday, April 1, with limited pairs available in-store and via select retail partners from Friday, April 8.
