The Spirit of Modern Fencing—Redefining Originals Through a Korean Streetwear Lens
Earlier this year, the first adidas Originals x Thug Club collaboration made waves as a Korea-exclusive release. Now the partnership returns with an expanded, globally-available FW2025 collection, showcasing their united design vision with even greater clarity. This contemporary capsule fuses the bold irreverence of Korean streetwear with the electric energy of fencing duelists.
Pushing the boundaries of the classics, the lineup includes outerwear and sneakers with an unmistakable Three Stripes DNA, all infused with Thug Club’s rebellious flair. The range draws on fencing both for its dynamic, medieval cues and modern sporting attitude.
Key highlights include the Superstar Boot Luxe TB—featuring a custom shell toe, premium leather upper, and co-branded metal emblem reworking the legendary silhouette with fresh audacity. Beside it stands the GSG9 Boot, which shows an asymmetric toe cap, overdyed suede, leather, and Cordura upper—merging experimental aesthetics with real utility.
The collection will launch globally on October 20 through the adidas Originals webstore and select retail partners, with a Korea-exclusive lineup and limited goods to follow.
