Adidas Skateboarding has once again linked up with Pennsylvania-based artist Henry Jones for a fun new apparel collection.
Henry has become a staple in the skateboarding world with his playful illustrations (he has me LOL'ing pretty often, to be honest), and this latest collection is a true reflection of his influence and originality. Swipe through and take a look:
"Henry Jones is a *Pennsylvania-based illustrator, skateboarder, and frequent adidas Skateboarding collaborator," the Three Stripes squad mentioned on Instagram.
"The latest Henry Jones Collection features original artwork from Henry in his signature whimsical and satirical style with a focus on the culture and connectivity of skateboarding around the world on custom-fit, made-for-skate staples."
*The caption says Philadelphia-based, but Henry commented correcting them that he's from PA.
Designed with skateboarders in mind—by a ripping skateboarder, no less—the collection boasts custom fits and durable materials tailored for the wear and tear that comes with modern-day skating, as we learned on Instagram.
With a proper mix of tees, hoodies, and hats featuring Jones' signature artwork, he did a fantastic job blending his playful aesthetic with Adidas' made-to-skate apparel, if you ask me. Truly the best of all worlds.
At the end of the day, this collab stays true to the roots of both adidas and Henry, which is something I can respect—skateboarding, performance, fun and a genuine connection to the culture.
This isn’t the first time Henry and adidas Skateboarding have worked together, either, and I have a feeling it won't be the last. Regardless, this collection is bound to resonate with skateboarders across the globe (whether they're familiar with Henry's art or not).
The collection will be hitting shops and the adidas site soon. Big shoutout to Henry on another rad collab! If you don't follow him on Instagram (@henryjones), well, you definitely should.
