ADIDAS X RICH MNISI PRESENT THE SECOND INSTALMENT OF THE HOMELAND
The first drop took the world by storm, taking centre stage in adidas stores from London to Paris, New York to Dubai.
Today adidas x Rich Mnisi unveil the second edition of Homeland, following the successful global launch of the first Collection earlier this year. The first drop took the world by storm, taking centre stage in adidas stores from London to Paris, New York to Dubai. Locally, the range has been proudly worn by the likes of Siya Kolisi, Ama Qamata,Shekhinah, Sarah Langa and Thickleeyonce.
The new Homeland Collection features a line-up of female-focused streetwear pieces that celebrate love, romance and beauty with a bright and energetic rose print. The Collection includes unique and beautiful pieces that reflect Mnisi's influences and experiences.
The campaign is led by models Lindiwe Dim, Lisa Fumagalli and Noma Mokoni as they fuse sport style with an authentic African flavour that celebrates Mnisi's Tsonga heritage, influenced by his family's traditions.
Alongside the apparel pieces, the Collection features iconic adidas footwear including HER COURT, ASTIR and Adilette slides, which have been reimagined using Mnisi's signature print. In keeping with the adidas strategic ambition that by 2025, 9 out of 10 adidas articles will be sustainable, the Rich Mnisi Homeland Collection is made in part with recycled materials.
Rich Mnisi said this about the collection, "Homeland is a symbol of returning oneself to the ancestral ground she rests on, the continent of our birth and the home of humanity. A place that celebrates the spirit of her children. Her roots are the source of life."
Hero pieces within the Homeland Collection include:
HER COURT Shoes priced at R1799: The pop rose print on the shoes pays homage to the beauty of romance. This shoe is made with high-performance recycled materials and features an upper made with 50% recycled content.
Dress priced at R1299: The bright colours are offset by sleek black plus 3-Stripes from shoulder to hem. The loose cut and soft cotton make it extra comfortable for everyday wear. By buying cotton products from adidas, you are supporting more sustainable cotton farming.
