adidas and James Bond Just Teamed up on the Coolest Line of Sneakers and Apparel
James Bond never ceases to be a source of inspiration, and our good ‘ole secret agent is coming in hot this week with a collection of shoes and activewear made in partnership with adidas. The adidas x 007 line is dropping ahead of the franchise’s 25th movie, “James Bond 007: No Time to Die,” which hits theaters Oct. 8. The 007-inspired collection includes UltraBoost 20s, DNAs and tracksuits for men and women that marry the sophistication and downright coolness of Bond with the style and functionality of adidas.
The details on the sneakers are subtle. The colors featured include simple grays, whites and blacks, as if Bond would ever be caught dead in a flashy colorway. Each sneaker pays homage to specific characters. For example, the gray Ultraboost is reminiscent of enemy Safin’s bunker and also includes a porcelain-looking cage inspired by the villain’s mask. Meanwhile, the all-white UltraBoost DNA has a 007 graphic on the heel and a Bond motif on the tongue, and the two black colorways are simple, sleek and meant to resemble a tuxedo as much as a running sneaker could.

Also included in the collection are apparel styles to round out the ‘fits. There are men’s and women’s tracksuits in gray, black and white options, as well as a black tee and a sharp black bodysuit for women.
The collection is available to shop starting today on the adidas app, website and at select retailers.

Any Bond fan knows that black tuxedos are not the only way to dress for the occasion; Bond has his fair share of white tuxedos, too. They inspired this all-white DNA take, which includes a small ode to 007 on the tongue.
