Album rollouts in the rap game have been lacking in the last few years, but brothers Pusha T and No Malice, under their group Clipse, are bringing back the lost energy. The two singles, Ace Trumpets and So Be It, both produced by Pharrell Williams, have been received well by critics and fans alike. The latter of the two even drummed up some rap beef between former GOOD Music alumni Pusha T and Travis Scott.
Outside of music, Push has long been associated with adidas, thanks to his close relationship with Pharrell and, of course, Ye (though the latter is no longer there). The Pusha x adidas partnership seems to be back on as he’s taken to Instagram to reveal a Clipse-branded adidas Samba LT.
For those unaware, Pusha T has dropped multiple sneaker collabs with adidas in the past, dating all the way back to 2014. These include colorways of the EQT Guidance 93, adida Ozweego, and even a project with Damian Lillard on the adidas Dame 6. His rap subject matter, although not necessarily brand-friendly, has played a pivotal role in the design motifs and color palettes of these releases, and this is once again the case with Clipses’ Samba LT.
A cocaine white hue is present on the Three Stripes and lace set, while the rest of the upper opts for a creamier finish. Leather paneling wraps around the T-toe overlay, midfoot panel, eyelets, and tongue, the latter featuring Thorn branding (something we saw Push debut at Paris Fashion Week in 2023) below the extended long tongue that can be folded down. Clipse branding is present on the lateral collar, stamped alongside adidas text. Finishing the design is the white rubber midsole and outsole.
The Clipse x adidas Samba LT Let God Sort ‘Em Out will release soon via letgodsortemout.com. On July 14, the site offered exclusive access to select people, though we're unsure if a public release will still take place. We'll keep you updated in real-time on the Sole Retriever mobile app.
