END. and Adidas Originals Tie the Knot After 20 Years of Partnership

Christiaan Ashworth and John Parker founded END. Clothing 20 years ago in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. What began as a passion project has turned into a global player in the world of menswear, womenswear, and everything in-between. The English retailer has launched a number of special products along the years, bringing craftsmanship and concepts to the forefront with the help of some of the industry's leading forces – including Adidas Originals.

To commemorate two decades of working together, END. has prepped the 'Tying the Knot' collection, a playful collaboration that breathes new life into the Adidas Superstar Vintage and Japan OG. Both styles from the Three Stripes' expansive archive subtly draws inspiration from attire traditionally associated with weddings. The iconic shell-toe evokes images of a groom's tuxedo with its predominantly 'Core Black' finish, while the women's Japan retro opts for shades of 'White' across its veil-reminiscent textile upper. Each pair is stamped with co-branding that cements the 20-year-old union forever.

In celebration of their 'Tying the Knot' capsule, END. and Adidas invited five couples to Berlin to form part of the capsule's campaign. These couples were chosen because they encapsulate what it means to understand and love within an enduring relationship.

Enjoy detailed looks at the Superstar Vintage and Japan OG 'Tying the Knot' below. Raffles for both styles are currently live via the END. Launches platform. The capsule will release at all of END. Clothing's shops on Friday, March 7. The shell-toe is priced at $175, whereas the women's style retails for $139.
